Enlistment

Well, I woke up today, finishing up on my Hound, Anubis, when I received a notification.  'S P H E R E is joining the Caldari State faction at war.  Within 24 hours all enemies of the Caldari State faction will be enemies of S P H E R E and fighting may begin.'  I sighed quietly, "Guess they didn't wanna let us go so soon, after all.." I went back to my Hound.  I still had 24 hours before combat would be commencing, and even then, if all went according to plan I would be hooked into my Hound, scouting about for ships to destroy, far away from the ridiculousness that often came with typical warfare.

Back To The Basics

Well, in an attempt to regather my bearings I've decided to purchase another bomber.  One Hound, fitted and rigged now sits in my hangar.  Although S P H E R E is a lot quieter than before, we still must move onward.  Though what's left of the old crew is nothing compared to what we had, we can still put together enough heads to go on another wormhole excursion; except instead of building up, we're tearing down.

Rough Restart

16 losses since my return from planetside.  SIXTEEN; it's hard to believe it myself.  Before I took my extended vacation I was in great shape combat-wise, but ever since I got out of my bomber, bad things started to happen.  Minor slips in the Harpy, the Jaguar, Hound...too many slips to shrug off.  I think it's time to start back on a good foot and get back in my proper mindset.  It's true that it's difficult for a solitaire pilot in the low security regions of empire space, as well as in the lawless reaches of 0.0, but this is unacceptable.  Have I lost my touch? That can't be it, I need to reevaluate my losses, and make sure such ridiculous losses don't happen again.  Perhaps I need to go back to bombing, that's a possibility...
