Day 6
The electrical storm that was plaguing Vylade finally subsided after 10 long days, for several of which half the station was having power outages. Except the repair crew in the lower decks that make most of the mechanical repairs on ships and on the station. They have some good protection down there. Let us undock and begin day 6. It is a good day to mine. I warp into the belt and I see a fellow miner. And a few abandoned warrior tech II. I might want these. I approach them slowly hoping I donÆt die horribly to a stealthed enemy that wants them back. i was 5000 meters away when he came back and scooped them. I played stupid and approached my veldspar asteroid and continued to mine it.
5 minute have elapsed and my procurer is being super effective against the defenseless veldspar. I am chewing right through the second asteroid already. It is quiet and my belt friend retriever seems to have also warped off. The quiet of space feels good after almost 2 weeks being cramped into a 10 by 10 meters cabin. And the accommodations in gallente space arenÆt good if you donÆt have 1 million to throw around. As a poor miner you get what you need. But hardly what could be desired of a room by somebody.
Almost 20 minutes have passed and I continue to chew through asteroid after asteroid in my new acquisition. My retriever friend warps back in at 20 kilometers range û a good range to keep at if it was up to me. Another space friend that appears to be from the npc corporation I was dropped in when I left my previous one warp into the belt at a cool 25 km range.
Half the day has passed away and at a risk to repeat myself everything seems quiet today. As I rest my eyes for a second one of my hands touches a wall of my pod and I feel a static shock. Seems like my ship is still charged from the electrical storm. Either that or my body is. The pod has enough defenses that it will not interfere with my controls. Still they said they made sure nothing is electrically charged when I climbed in. The last thing you want when you are in a pod is to get an electrical charge off in the goo the sensors in the pod detecting a breach or an attempt of tampering and you get instantly podded into a new clone and lose your implants. The chances of that happening arenÆt even slim anymore. More and more reports have been coming in especially from the low sec and 0.0 security systems of pods exploding while approaching a gate or even undocking while in a ship. As the race to provide the cheapest pod service accelerates the quality of the product goes down the tubes.
While I think the perils of space a serpentis spy warps in and starts shooting my poor little procurer. The hobgoblin zooms out of the bay and engages the enemy ripping through the shields and armor and quickly disperse the hull too. While this short engagement was going the clock seems to approach finish time and I warp off and dock up to start moving the ore to the station with my iteron.
5 minutes remain and a race with the clock begins as I warp in and out the station. I scoop the last of my ore and the remains of the serpentis spy and head to the station to sell and see what the tally is for today.
The clock strikes 12 and as I turn back into a pumpkin I have made 1.9 million for today and my wallet stands at 2,261,030 isk. A pretty good day. As i get out of my pod in station I get another static discharge. GOD DAMN IT.
Thanks for all the great responses guys. The final will be up before the end of the week.

Day 7 So little time has passed in the real world but I have acquired so much. People work for year for the amount of money I have acquired in mere hours. IÆm moving up and with my popularity ôold friendsö have contacted me and have said they will arrive before the day is over. It will be good to see old acquaintances. I started mining already, trying to remember where I have seen the ID tag from the communication I got.
Pondering that question already 10 minutes have passed of me mining. I feel one of the many scars on my head pulsing. A headache comes on and it makes my vision gray with pain for a few minutes. The dull pain subsides as the automatic drugs in the pod kick in to compensate. As my vision clears I am greeted by yet another serpentis initiate trying to destroy me. Hobo rushes out of the drone bay just vandalizing one of the serpents as another warps in. Soon he also joins his friend in cold storage.
15 minutes have passed and i get notified my friends have arrived on the station I am basing from and that they are waiting for me near the ship maintenance area. ItÆs quiet now and I keep destroying veldspar with my laser. 20 minutes have passed. The quiet keeps playing with my brain and I start seeing angels as my eyes haze up again. My head starts killing me again and I start trying to focus on my task and to get faster to the end of the day. But time defies me and keeps going the same speed as before. It does not want to bend to my wishes. I snicker in the darkness all alone and keep mining.
The 25 minute mark arrives with a warning. My cargo hold seems to be full yet again. I jet it quickly into a can and continue to do my task. The darkness starts creeping at me again and I zone out again. A dream appears before me for a split second. Either that or a disturbing memory. I see blood û a lot of blood. And somebody screaming.
ôPUT HIM BACK DOWNö.
I awake my head still throbbing and notice that the clock shows that half my day is done. My eyes are watering with the sharp pain and the delirious daze I am in doesnÆt seem to plan on subsiding. I try to concentrate for a second my head on a permanent combination of pain and fog. I check all the filtration systems for a contaminant as I get paranoid that there is something wrong. Everything checks out . I also check my vitals and except the high brain activity which I concur is because of my genius there is nothing wrong.
My paranoia subsides but the headache does not. This is how arrive to minute 35. I try to keep my mind off the pain and check all the modules and subsystems of my barge for any irregularities. Everything is on point and within norms.
The next 15 minutes pass in a quiet daze of me trying to focus and trying to not lose consciousness. Only 10 remain and I decide to start unloading soon. I have almost 20000m3 in the can and happiness arrives this day because I get reminded that I will get paid good for all this ore. I hit 20km3 in the can and I decide itÆs time to unload.
The clock nears 0 and I am almost done. My head continues a nice combination of throbbing and pain to keep me interested as I warp around and finally dock up. I sell everything and I am left with 4155739 isk. Today I have made another 1.9 million. As I remotely sell my stuff I mined I finally leave my ship and end up in front of 2 large Minmatar brutes right in my face. The shorter one grins a smile full of metal and gold.
ôHello again.ö
ThatÆs all he says as the bigger one forms a fist and I notice that his hand is modded and he has spikes implanted on his knuckles. A second later I feel those spikes in my gut as I collapse to the ground.
ôBring him with us to the Dramiel. And donÆt hit him in the head the boss wants his tracking implants intact.ö
My head throbs a final time and darkness arrives.

Edited by: GOSHO MECHA on 11/08/2011 15:25:36 ô We implanted him with the scanner and tracking implants that will track the movements and scan passwords off the NET belonging the security officers. Be sure the subject is not exposed to more than 6 days of this because mental degradation will occur. If everything goes according to plan with this jove tech the incursion to high sec will be cake walk.ö
All I see is angels again.
The end.
All and all for those that are interested i made around 8.3 Million ISK in 7 days. Its been an honor and thanks for all the great comments. I had some duties the last days so sorry that something that should have taken 7 days took nearly a month :)

Thanks for the read, been entertaining despite having kept the tab open on my browser since the first day :P
Who'd have thought mining could be told so well?
