I did a Bad Thing Today.

I woke up this morning and wanted to Empty some Jet Cans that did not belong to me.

I Looked around my Hangar and spied an Old Bestower named "Phantom's Folly" I had in a dark corner.
It had a Salvager II and a Tractor Beam fit in her high slots and various shield tank stuff in her mids, 3 Warp Stabs and a Cargo Hold Expantion I in the lows, and 2 cargo optimization rigs and a low friction nozzle joint rig.

I climbed aboard and entered my pod via modified intenal Pod Gantry, and set out to find a macro suspect.

Into the Ice Belt in Brapellile.
a quick modification to my Overviw settings to filter results by Item type.

One Cargo container on scan.
It was labled "Confiscated Ice" and had a Rifter pilot "Cam Clarke" of "Suddenly Ninjas" orbiting it.

Bait Can.

I've Stolen successfully from bait cans before and Cam doesn't seem to have re-inforcements in local so I warp to the can, get close and Command my Ship Do Dock.

While Spooling up and Aligning to station I open the bait can, waiting for my warp drive to spool to 75%, I Liberate 4 pieces of Blue Ice and warp away almost instantly after.
15 minute agression counter starts.
Once Docked safely I decide to climb in my Cov Ops Ship "Silent Salvage" to cloak and watch the belt again from a safe distance.

Understanding the risk I'm taking as he may have followed me to station I unfit the expensive modules and undock.
He's right there, and begins to target me, I hit my shield rep and emergency damage control II and prepair to repel projectile ammo and aim my ship back towards the docking hangar.

"Docking Access Granted"

I decide to wait out the timer.

Talus Veran > nice try
Talus Veran > lol
Talus Veran > no point in waiting now Cam. Goin' for a Quafe.
Talus Veran > thanks for the ice though.
Cam Clarke > I didn't feel like playing station games anyway.

at this point I'm interested in his purpose for attempting to Grief.

Talus Veran > you hunting macros?
Cam Clarke > Just anything that'll jet.
Talus Veran > Nice
Talus Veran > My industrial's stabbed to the teeth
Cam Clarke > Probably a good idea.
Cam Clarke > Ah. Well, fly safe.
Talus Veran > u too.
Talus Veran > Happy hunting.

After that he leaves the system.

Once my timer runs out I head back to the ice belt to see who else is silly enough to jet can ice while there is talk of Ice Thievery in local.

Suddenly there are 4 Cargo containers in space almost entirely at once.
Warp Drive Acive
I arrive on top of the first can and Empty it. (only Mackinaws with no drones out close by)
Il Folle
Eloiny Cien
Subject River
Karajix

Afterburners and shield tank active I get to the 2nd and 3rd can. Hold Full I Jet some and Tractor my Can to the 4th can.

16 Units of Blue Ice (10 in my Hold and 6 in my Cannister.)
I head away from them and Warp to Station.
I swap out the salvager for a prototype cloaking device so I can watch them while cloaked.
Warp back to my Can And and Orca Arrives for their support. I empty my can and engage the cloak and watch.

Il Folle
Eloiny Cien
Subject River
Karajix
and now Tucker So in an Orca

All are in different corps now after having left the same corp at the beginning of July.
All left the same day.
it's a macro miner or a multi-boxer.
I decide to message them to find out.

Il Folle > "conversation request denied"
Tucker So > "conversation request denied"
Eloiny Cien > "conversation request denied"
Subject River > "conversation request denied"

Karajix has a CSPA licence fee for sendung mail, I accept, and then "conversation request denied"
then another can apears, I Uncloak and get to full speed. More cans appear
I get one before the orca gets it.

Geting bored of the waiting, I dock up amd count 24 Units of blue Ice and head a few jumps away to sell at the highest buy price.

Something new tomorrow

Talus Veran.

Pictures to follow later

It's been a while

I've been Lazy.
I have been doing various Stuff since my last Post

Planetary Interaction Discovery was fun.
I'm Very Excited to see where this will link to Dust 514.
Some Friends of mine over at the Vard School of Cryo Cuisine, have been fueling their Station from Comodities built on Planets.

Ice Mining From while watching Holovids.

Then Gankageddon III started and I decided to get to some Missioning

and Salvaging those missions of course.


I got bored quickly of Doing whatever Agents were requesting of my talents, and turned to my Arbitrator "The Wedge". I fit her for Exploration and took off to Explore.
Destroying a few local Serpentis hidden Drug Plants and Listening Posts I ventured forth into some Wormholes.
The First Wormhole I entered, I found my first Gas Cloud. (No Pictures, I was so Excited I forgot to take them)
The next Worhole held Wonderous amounts Of Rare Asteroids, which I had A Corpmate Join in on Harvesting


Well, that's about the extent of my travels Since May. I hope to continue a much more frequent update on this log going forward.
