The Storm
Region: Aridia
Constellation: Anama
System: Maalna
The PPS Machiavelli sits in dock at the Amarr Constructions Warehouse undergoing routine maintenance and diagnostics. Its pilot, Justin Cody, walks on a palisade overhanging the docking platform by about 75 meters. Admiring the glowing golden hull, he turns to his fellow director, DK Shadow and hands him a disk. Making the gesture for silence, Justin walks off leaving DK there to wonder what has just transpired.
DK looks at the metallic disk that he has just been handed. The disk is labeled Amarr Periphery Survey X-Aridia1. DK Shadow calls his Chief Petty officer (Petty Officer Yakamura) to retrieve a data disk for later use. After Petty Officer Yakamura takes the Disk, DK Shadow queries the corporation database to find Justin's current location...he is on deck eight on the Machiavell

The Engineering rooms on the Machiavelli are spartan and clean as on most Amarr ships. Everything is in its place and has a place. Justin can be seen tuning one of the Plasma Wave Guides in the ventral exhaust access tube.
DK Shadow climbs in there with him and asks, ôWhat in the name of Ishukone is on that disk?ö
ôIts secretö
ôThen why did you give it to me?ö
ôGive what to you?ö
ôTHE D---- oh, right, well how is the Machiavelli holding up?ö
ôPretty good, the sensors pick up all sorts of background transmissions though, I've had to reconfigure them quite often.ö
ôHave you tried putting an EM shield amplifier on there?ö
ôAre you nuts DK? I can't sacrifice a mid slot on this thing for such a luxuryö
ôWell alright, don't blame me when your cheap Amarr HyperComm shuts down or gets overloaded in battle.ö
ôI won't...its not an Amarr Comm system I have installed in this puppy anyway.ö
ôNo?ö
ôNo,ö said Justin affirmatively
ôTarsha shipped me her latest creation to help augment the Angel Communications suite I have in here.ö
ôAh good ole Tarsh...how long did you stay with her this time?ö
ôUntil she was satisfied,ö says Justin with a big grin on his face.
ôHAHA right....well I'll be going nowö
ôOk, DK, call me on a private channel if you need anything.ö
ôWill doö
DK Shadow walked back to the cart port and drove back to his ship hangar roughly 600 meters away. Once at his ship he began the re-immersion process and soon he was back in his pod and in his Raven, the :)~ . Requesting that the data disk be installed he pulled up the ship's ôreaderö program and began to read the contents of the file...
