Making friends (and not shooting them)

Wandering aimlessly through space can be quite fun, recently I've been doing a fair bit of it.

I took a few Tenal treasure hunting trips inspired by this chap's post. Countless hours can be spent accomplishing nothing, followed by a single site making an instant multi-billionaire. Returning to empire I'd plink away at a few missions for research and development corporations, eventually setting myself up a small (very small) passive income. Then either head back out to Tenal or roam around the ever changing maze that is wormhole space.

The problem with being a solo cloaky wormhole multi-day tripper, aside from having to stop to breathe while saying that, is a lot of the time you don't have the right tool for the job. Hey look a solo Tengu in an anomaly, sure wish those wormholes links from yesterday still existed so I could grab a cap neutralizing gank ship, wait here is a high sec exit, how convenient- 27 jumps?! Screw this I'll just wait till I find a miner/hauler/senior to slap about and rob.

Deciding its time to get back into wormhole space on a more permanent basis. I found a friendly group of folks active around my peak pod time, and after the usual application formalities, API check, previous corp check, comms interview and some risque photos of me flashing a little knee, I was in.

Assembling a Tengu to the corps standard fit makes it the most expensive ship I've ever owned, hopefully the investment can be recouped before exploding gloriously. An entrance to my new home has been scanned out and I make the uneventful journey in my cloaky Loki. The w-space links are buzzing with neutral pilots and I decide to leave the Tengu for another day when I can scan out a less risky route.
