Shadow Puppets :: Part 1

Hai

Leaving the Gallente station in [ERASED] (with as much of my gear as I could carry), I made my way across 7 jumps, watching at each gate, lest one or another of my pirate foes were tracking me.

But all remained celestially calm and I docked at one of our corporations' stations, and reported to my new contact, whom I will call [Saka-san]. He sought my humble assistance in making contact with a field agent he had, or in assessing the state of vessels guarding a pocket of contaminated drones.

I agreed to the latter, and primed my guns, just in case; then I flew to the co-ordinates which [Saka-san] had given me and, to my concern, found a small fleetlet of drones hovering in space. There were, however, also Caldari Navy battleships, and it was towards one of these that I set my course. By the grace of Heaven, I had thought to set my mission log to "reactive" mode, and it notified me in [short order] that I had done enough to satisfy [Saka-san] and that I ought immediately to return to him. Although the drones remained quiescent, I preferred not to remain in their vicinity, since they clearly [out-gunned] me.


I made my report, and was paid 100K ISK, with a small bonus; I was then released, to take sustenance and consider how best I could help my -san further.
