Anti Audit Log 2010.02.21.1527 - These were the Best of times and the worst of times.
Another pirate came a calling today, and an ugly stiff as a board one at that. He was
incognito as a taxman from the Empire, and smelled as if he had not known the comforts
that empire space can provide, showers, bathrooms, and the sweet smell of home built
by family. Pirates never understand the core concepts of family, maybe because they
had troubled lives or one to many trips through the cloning bays have diluted their
sense of unity. The family is a haven in a heartless world. I still ponder why they
all try the same con, was I born yesterday, must have been. He claimed we owed
millions in Isk, but had no real documentation to back up this claim. We pay our taxes
to the empire and have always had a good relationship with them. They know we are on
the up and up.
So we tried to reason with him but Pirates do not understand reason, just violence and
games. The kind of games that get them killed. We are a peaceful folk out here in the
dark cold depths of space. We wanted nothing more than to live our lives and work hard
to make ends meet.
We were surprised however when the mail arrived and they had War Dec'd us. Pirates
that follow rules, must not be very good pirates in the end. So we did what we do
every time these bastards come calling. We gave them as few targets as we could, left
them to be bored and playing with themselves just a few clicks off the station. As far
as pirates go this is the way they fight. They play station games and dock for hours
on end.
We are just simple mining folk out here, we do our best to stay out of the nonsense
and pitiful feuds of the verse, but will defend our homes from s****in any color,
shape, and size. We know the meaning of friends and of family and we stick together
through thick and thin. We help one another, we teach one another, and most of all we
care for one another. We will defend ourselves and be nice until it is time to not be
nice. We are united and we always will be.
The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing
diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing
money, locking one another out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in
the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common
thread that bound us all together.
We will not pay, we will not fall, we are untited.
The Venture Family
