Day 50: Nullsec Here We Come Part 3

The thing I liked from the Ares or interceptors in general was they were so responsive. So responsive that you really felt them as part of yourself. It was very different if you flew bigger and slower ships. You might feel tired sooner or even a bit of pain from exerting your mind trying to control those big ships.

The journey was uneventful. I was now in nullsec systems. The traditional wisdom was not to jump from gate to gate directly. But I was in an interceptor so I thought I was immune from bubble. There would still be risk if there was gate camper waiting for me on the out gate with several smart bomb battleships. So far I had never been killed that way in my Ares.

I can see that even though you are mostly a miner, you have trained almost all your core skills to level 5. This is quite impressive. It means you are a focus person in achieving your goals. I have seen people who posses many skills but only at level 1 or 3. Jack of all trades maybe interesting but they are no good in time of crisis. Most importantly for me is your honesty. I like it. I’d like you into the corp”, she said it with a very sweet smile. Continue reading “Day 47: A New Chapter Part 5”

Day 46: A New Chapter Part 4

Then silence…

I felt it as the longest awkwardly terrifying silence in my life. The silence was killing me. I felt that I should say something. No! They should say something, they were the ones who were the interviewers. They should say something! But they all just looked at me.

Haha! Very good!”, suddenly I heard the person on the left said that. I was shocked. Not because what she said, but how she said it. Her voice was the most mesmerizing voice I had ever heard since…. my wife’s voice. Her voice was feminine and yet commanding. Continue reading “Day 46: A New Chapter Part 4”
