Here is a story of EVE.
I need some advice to improve it. Since I’m not an English speeker, and I’m just 15, there may be some stupid mistakes and the whole story might be too childish. Also, it’s the first part’s first edition, and I will work on it in the future.
“Nothing is more dangerous than a gang of capsuleers, without a doubt.”
Diary of Rennit Hage, YC127.3.7
“In these days, the drifters are attacking the whole NewEden. CONCORD has already encouraged capsuleers to defend our homeland, But the situation remains severe……” As the clock reached EVE time 0720, a front-projected holographic displayer played the live Scope news in Rennit’s bedroom. Everything seemed to be as usual as a normal day, and things were under full control.
When Rennit got off the bed, the curtain slid away, showing the view of the ship hanger. Rennit loves old things, which is closely related to him being an archaeologist. though most windows use electric fog glass. In the middle of the hanger, there was an Astero floating, and every single scar of the ship’s hull was clear. That’s Rennit’s everything, a Sisters of EVE faction frigate, and some worn-out components. He loves his ship and names her Tria. Though most of the ships need crews, frigates can be commanded by a single pilot. So, Rennit persists in working solo, since he needs to pay salary to an unnecessary crew.
After washing up and breakfast, Rennit went out of his apartment. The space station where he lives was small, located in a remote system named Renyn. The station got an unremarkable name----Planet X Moon 14 Chemal Tech Factory. While Rennit got to the docking port, a clear female voice appeared.
“Good morning Mr. Hage. The ship’s on-board system is already online, and most parts of the ship are working well, except the left lighting lamp and there are still cracks on the hull. In summary, the ship can work well in space.” It’s Auto, an AI program that had been trained by Rennit himself for years. She is a helpful assistant in all situations.
Rennit nodded, initiating the transport vehicle to Tria. After docking on Tria, the docking port opened automatically, and he walked to the bridge. The light on his ship was dim, which is not common, as he can remember every part of the ship’s instruction.
The bridge of Tria was very simple. Rennit likes to make things neat, forcing him to focus on his work. Also, he always complies with regulations, tiding him with seat belt. It prevents accidents while accelerating, as there are more than thousands of examples of being injured in the past fifty years.
“Auto, please send undock request to the C&C. Hope this time we don’t have to wait for an hour just like yesterday, it’s so unpleasant.”
“Roger that. I believe that C&C always let capsuleers to go first, and……Well, this time C&C permitted the undocking request. Surprisingly it only took us fifteen seconds.”
“Great. Maybe this time the good luck is with us.”
Within one second, a tractor beam connected with the ship, dragging it to the hanger door. Thanks to the inertial compensation system, the ship can offset some of the G-force caused by acceleration, or he will be blackout especially on a high-speed frigate.
Tria arrived at the door of the hanger, and Rennit was able to use the ship’s own plasma engine. He set the thrust to top and left the station. Because he works in wormhole space, he needs to scan out a wormhole. He released 8 scanning probes, founding cosmic signals. Luckily, the first signal was a wormhole, which means that he doesn’t need to waste his time anymore.
“Auto, prepare for warping to that wormhole at 25 kilometers and retract those probes. If the wormhole is a Triglavian one, just warp back as fast as possible.”
“Okay. Warp drive activating. Warping in 3, 2, 1, 0…”
Rennit felt dizzy. For most carbon-based organisms, warping is always uncomfortable, except capsuleers. There are medicines that can relieve this discomfort, but their manufacturers are not reliable, bringing great risk. Therefore, he never uses them.
“Sir, the onboard scanner hasn’t found a sign of Triglavian. It can be safe to go through the wormhole.” Auto reported as if the ship had gone out of the warping tunnel. Rennit nodded, commanding Tria into the wormhole. After the ship got into another side of the wormhole, he turned on the cloaking device. It is very dangerous in a wormhole space, because there won’t be CONCORD or navy to save him in any situation. It turns out that he is on his own.
“It seems like that we are safe, and the star is not going to affect us much.” Said Rennit, decloaking Tria and send out probes again. In wormhole systems, cosmic signals are a lot more common than high sec space, making the chance of getting rich much higher. The reason why Rennit was here is to found ancient sites or pirates’ servers that he can hack in and find precious products.
In a moment, he found an Angle Cartle server. Without a second thought, he warped to it. While warping, he kept scanning everything that could be found. Also, he made a navigation point in deep space for evacuation. As he was near the server, he scanned out a cargo hold that should not be there.
“Something must be wrong. Maybe somebody gave up before we came…■■■■, it must be a trap! Warp away to wherever we can go!” Shouted Rennit while the ship got to the server. The cloaking service he was using can’t work if there is anything 2500 meters, but that cargo hold is right in front of his ship, stopping him from cloaking.
“Two ships just decloaked! A Moa and a Cormorant! Capsuleer pilots commanded!” Auto reported.
Now things are much more complicated. Although decloaking can interfere with a locking system, both ships locked him down and warp disrupted him in a flash. He was not able to escape anymore.
“They fired! Our shield is getting low. We only have five seconds until they make it to the armor!”
Calm down, calm down, you will always find a way out, no matter what happened…
Rennit opened the reactive armor hardener and the armor repairer in overheating mode. Also, he released five of his EC-300 drones. He headed to the Moa with the 5MN microwarpdrive in full speed, locking down both ships. After the ship was 2000 meters to the Moa, he started to orbit it. The Moa’s railguns can’t spin that fast, so he only needs to handle the fire power of the Cormorant, which couldn’t take him down in a short time.
“Good choice, but…”
“Just be silent for a moment! I can handle this!”
Auto stopped talking. Rennit ordered drones to ECM those two ships, betting they will be ECMed. In the first round, drones stopped the Cormorant’s locking system, but the Moa’s locking system is still working. He needs to take another try, which is risky. The probability of success was only 15%.
It’s going to be crazy, but I can not lose. I’m not a capsuleers. I won’t be relieved. I must make it!
Everything he got was now counting on those ECM drones that only cost less than a hundred thousand ISK in total. Luckily, Rennit made it. He ECMed the Moa, stopping its disruption of his warping core.
“Alright, Auto, warp us to the position we set while warping. There is no need to retract those drones, there are still ten of them in the drone bay. We are save now.”
“Got it. It’s a miracle for us to survive. I will do the damage report while warping.”
“Great.” As Rennit spoke, Tria got into the warping mode. “Also, please remind me to write this whole thing in my diary. Now I have something to show off in front of other people, including capsuleers. But we are still going to work, this is not an excuse of resting.”
“Sure. Today the luck is with us.”
Thanks to CCP Arcade, who helped me so much.
Thank you everybody=)
