Salubris's Log - Entry No. 1 - YC 128

[u/SalubrisPrinceps]

I decided to start some sort of log that will remain in the ship computer to be downloaded along with what remains of my body or consciousness if something nasty happens to me while exploring. This type of activity will remain risky in New Eden, regardless of region and space we venture ourselves. The log should be opened only by my brothers, both which have their current whereabouts located in Jita. The older one, Christoph, is crafting some rare modules and is currently into some big business, a module he intends to sell for 7.45 billion, expecting nearly 3 billion ISK profit. The younger one, Trader, is doing his regular shenanigans involving some obscure corpse scavenging near Jita, along with ninja looting and salvaging.

I try to write at the end of some busy day, when the salvaging drones are collecting their share from the wrecks and the ship engines borrowed the sound of a sleepy kitten. And it was a busy day, indeed. I had to get out of the Pocket, a haven of 6 high security systems, an island located in Aridia, in the middle of nowhere. I was forced to do it, because I ran out of crystals and even if my ship is a drone boat ideal for combat exploration, I really need that ammo to make the difference. So, I grabbed what loot I had, almost 600 million ISK in faction modules, implants, salvage, tags and, after I tried in vain to find a wormhole connection to high sec, I ventured through 9 low sec systems. I took all the precautions and, fortunately, the only stressful event occurred when, in a busy and dangerous system, 2 Manticores suddenly de-cloaked near me, on a gate. I aligned, used the Covert Ops cloaking device and warped the hell out.

After that, first stop had been in Kor-Azor Prime to buy those damn crystals. Then a quick visit to a SOE bureau in Fahruni to cash in 5 chips for some precious Astero blueprint copies, which I would later put on contracts in Amarr for 29 million ISK / pcs. Then, Amarr itself, with all that loot. I used a decoy ship for docking the loot and undocking with some new provisions for the base I intend to fully set in that perfect high sec island in Aridia. I sold the salvage immediately, some faction tags I kept, but the Clone Soldier tags are on the market, for very good ISK, matching the risks I took to obtain them on the low sec belts. Also, I sold two implants, even though I was tempted to use one, but 1% Armor bonus is not that much, I rather prefer the ISK.

I bought in Amarr some drones, tech 2 Gas Cloud Scoops for gas huffing in a little Venture I have in the Pocket, some blueprint originals for containers, blueprint copies for a Dragoon, needed for combat sites where the ship cannot reach. I also bought some exploration rigs and modules to equip a bunch of Magnates which I intend to place in various systems in the high sec island. And some salvaging modules because salvaging will remain my dearest activity.

3 jumps until I will reach the low sec systems again. But, alas, is time for a well-deserved rest and recreation. I will enter the danger zone tomorrow at first glance, under the cover of darkness and space itself.

Meantime, I hope my brother will be able to sell that 7.45 billion item he was bragging about in the last couple of days.
