I am a relatively new recruit to the Academy despite the lines on my face and the crimson like hue of my nose owing to years of Quafe overuse. I have information to relay and a story to tell at the same time.
I became fed up with my job at Caldari Navy, sick of the grind of receiving implants for my very hard work of dispatching Guristas Pirates and other such rabble. My constant study and training had allowed me the unique skill of learning while I slept, and I made good use of it.
"The training of Caldari Battelship 2 has been completed"
I looked in my wallet saw bleak things in my future. The implant market had become saturated and my revenue stream was dying. I became sick of it all. Sick of the jump queues, sick of the Nav lag, sick of seeing 100 other working stiffs working the same agent, for the same rewards, day in and day out.
I decided to take a chance. I sold my most prized possessions: 5 'arbalest' heavy launchers, 4 'arbalest' standard launchers, and 2 'arbalest' assault launchers. I bought the latest in Empire caldari technology, the Raven, and headed to Fountain.
I arrived nearly penniless after the usurious insurance fee, and fitting my Raven with the most basic and meagre fittings. I also procured inexpensive BPO's that would ensure my survival. CELES provided me, a single pilot in a monolothic corp, with an escort through the most dangerous of areas, with 99% of my worth contained on my ship and in my hold.
On the first day of my arrival I made my first 30 million, but the second day was the most interesting.
I warped to a belt and found Brynn Jerdola with 2 of his underlings engaged in some shady illegal business. I powered up the shield hardeners and proceeded to shoot missiles into the hull of the weakest of the 3, but they barely scratched his shields. My shields were failing and I made a call for assistance to help dispatch these evildoers, and my heart leapt when two ships showed up. To my horror I realised that these ships were hostile to me, and a call went out for help against multiple foes.
I warped to the nearest station to repair and recharge my shields, as well as replace my smoking capacitor. When I came back there were approximately 6-7 battleships pounding away at Brynn and he went down in a smoking ruin. The hostiles were chased off and congratulations were given.
A CELES pilot scooped the loot of his can and my heart sank. These scoundrels were absconding with my loot!!! Everything they said to this point was a LIE!! This was the scenario I was now contemplating. To my shock and elation I was instructed to dock at the nearest station to be given the said loot. I was also given the bounty in destroying Brynn Jerdola paid in isk from a different pilot. His tag was the only thing we recovered so somehow I think he will show his face again in the system.
I am now worth appoximately 10 times more than I did two days ago, just trying to make ends meet in this universe.
So yeah I'd say it's worked out for me pretty well.
