In light of all this the Initiative Mercenaries tried to take the system WD-VTV which sits next door to SV5-8N. This is too close for comfort, their little insurrection didn't last very long as a allied fleet gathered together and kicked them out. As for future events that may happen this may of been a diversion or a sign of things to come on how the North plans to fight this campaign. At the present my assumptions are just speculations as to what may happen. All I do know is that the system were we are is a viable target, although none of my corp mates feel the same way. They look at tactics a different way than me though, but the ancient art of warfare hasn't changed over the ages of humanity.
Well it looks like one of my investments in my contact is starting to pay off. She sent me a vid mail telling me of the Jaguar and Hound blueprints she has researched. And has asked me for permission to go ahead with the Vargur Project and the Loki Project. She is apparently going to fund the building of the ships which is nice to hear, and I will buy the fittings for them no doubt I will also have to find a competent crew also. Must say I am proud of the lass she has done well since I found her. I wonder if I can coax her to move out here with me, the company would be nice. Better than sitting in the bar with 20 or so blokes all stinking of pod goo drinking vodka all night like it is at the moment. Of course when she has completed the building of the ships I will have to visit and test fly them. Also gives me an excuse to see her as well.
The decision to take down the moon miners was made today in the last meeting we all had. I am worried about what the unions will do to us when the find out that we just layed off over 500 employees from our station admin and factory production lines. The others are more worried about profit margins and how much fuel its been a waste of. Bloody Caldari again looking at facts and figures not at the lives and people behind them. I just hope I can go and talk to some of the union heads and cool them down, maybe if I dip into my own personal funds and buy them all tickets back to Empire may go some way to helping their problems now in this unclear economic climate. Ha who would of thought it me a politician? After all the fighting I have seen, my past as a slave to the Ammar and mercenary work I have done. Maybe with age comes a certain wisdom or maybe I am getting soft in my old age. Was a time I would of let them off station in shuttles then blew them out of the sky. Saves the hassle of law suits latter on, my old co-pilot Martigan would be laughing at me now, by the Ancestors I miss him. Its been near on 5 years since he passed away of old age in Hek with his family. I guess that's the price of immortality as a capsuleer. We never grow old and can never die due to the clone technology. Makes me wonder if we also loose our own humanity with each death we experience, I still walk with my crew and make sure I know their names and faces. Its one way I can live with what I have become and know that each time we go out not only is our corp at risk but also the lives of My crew. Its My job to get them home safely, and if I don't its them who pay the ultimate price.
