Not a great day again

Nothing in the C4a, it has a C3 static, but I am not in a mood to start scanning, so I go back and jump to the inbound null connection. It's in EOL (End Of Life), but as in siggy it's not marked as EOL I think it already has enough time to go to look and come back. I update siggy.

Just after I jump to null 020-2X and I see some Mobile Tractor Units. I always feel tempted to shoot some of those and grab some "free stuff", they are like a lottery. The locals are also aware of my presence and greet me in the channel. Good thing I am in a cloaky hound.


"I don't speak Russian" in Russian :)

I locate one of the MTUs in an anomaly and I start to shoot it meanwhile I watch dscan. Thanks to the afterburner I am able to speed tank two of the sleepers until I end the MTU. A waste of time. Nothing worthy inside.

As the locals are active I consider to return to my wormhole, I warp to my bookmark and ... surprise! the wormhole is gone, that EOL was really nearly dead. Now I am stuck in null-sec in the middle of nowhere.

So far from home...
With some effort I try to find the shortest route to highsec, it's not that far, about 9 jumps through null to a low-sec system, probably where I will find the standard & mandatory gatecamp. I would expect bubbles in the way but as I can cloak I am not very concerned.

I start to jump system by system, watching dscan before jumping to the next gate; until I arrive to the last system where I do have the stargate to lowsec. As expected, bubbles and drones to uncloak ships, I escape from them, and now the last jump to lowsec.

I warp to 100km to take a look at the gate first, but somehow I get uncloaked and insta-locked. Hound down. I try to warp away and insta-locked again. Pod down.


Poor Chuck.
Yet again, another free express ticket to Highsec... Clearly I am not having a good week.
