[OWNH] Highsec Outlaw Elementary School

I'm not much of a story teller and although i could fill a whole book,
i can try sharing this small bit with whomever it may interest.


It was the early days of my glorious change from carebear to outlaw.

I've spent two years in deltole, shooting NPCs, until a small thought started to dawn upon me.

There is no point in shooting NPCs, because they don't care.
Why play *this* game, if i only do things that don't matter to anybody?
This is all too easy. There's no point in doing this anymore.


Confused about this first step towards enlightenment it took me a few more weeks
until i finally started to realize what i had to do. Adapt or die (unsub).


In realization of the imminent end of my life in new eden,
i went to dodixie, bought an hyperion and fitted it with smartbombs.
Hyperions are massive ... and a smartbombs range profits from bigger hulls.

I undocked, floated foward, and waited for my ship to reach the end of the docking range ...
... plus a bit for my smartbombs ...
... and then i hit the brakes.


Ten minutes passed while i was observing all those ships floating towards me.
Still rationalizing, suddenly a rifter started orbitting me.

I found that to be quite funny, considering my intention ... so i convo'd him.
He said he had no apparent reason for doing this, but i was simply there
and my huge ship was nice to fly around in circles.

So i asked ...


"Do you have implants?"


... "yes?" ...



"Do you want to keep them?"



... "uh oh" ...



... and surprisingly, from one second to the next, there were 20km distance between us.


That amused me ... and changed me a bit.
Enlightenment was well within reach now.


I realized that sitting around wouldn't help me,
so i programmed Deltole as destination and hit warp.

Deltole is a system on route from Hek to Dodixie ...
... with reasonably high traffic. Thinking about it today ...

... It made perfect sense to end it all where it all has started.



I jumped into Deltole and observed. A rifter ... and a destroyer, obvious alts,
sitting well outside of the gates range ... scanning ships.
I started slowboating towards them.


Then i sat there. Waiting. Rationalizing. Thinking.

If i do this, there's no turning back. Ratting myself up is a no go.
It'll take ages and it'll probably break my will to keep logging in.

Fifteen minutes passed, lots of ships and pods moving towards the gate, until ...




This one pod ... called HANNA BARBERA.





HANNA BARBERA ... the makers of Scooby Doo.





I ......................
.................................. hate .....................................
......................................................................................... Scooby .................... Doo.






And thus, with no more thoughts interfering,
i pressed the keys that brought the light of freedom upon me and all of those well within my reach ...




... and CONCORD asked me ...






Are you sure ?







And i said ...






YES !
