Pomp & Circumstance
My time in Noir Academy was very fun, flying with good pilots and generally having a great time of killin' whatever needed it. I'm happy to say I have graduated into Noir. proper, and am now a member of a pretty unique niche role in an MMO game. Being a paid(in-game) PvPer/mercenary/gun-for-hire is something I'll certainly have to get used to. So far things have been a little hectic between moving assets into proper positions and some political turmoil.
As it turns out, politics in the Providence area are still a complete cluster fuck, and a mystery to me. I've long since lost interest in the political intrigues of EVE, I much prefer to just go out and shoot some ships and have some fun. In an odd twist, [NMG.] leadership decided to hand over our systems to [CVA]: the long time & recently evicted owners of Providence who are still trying to fight their way back in. There was much more to this decision than I know, or really care about. Suffice to say, [NMG.] felt we were going to be removed one way or another and decided to hand them off before being back-stabbed by others in our prov holders pact. And to be quite honest, this will probably mean taking more contracts for [NMG.] meaning I'll be doing more merc work and less pos/sov warfare.
On a last semi related, I went on my first contract op. An employer contracted [NMG.] to kill off a couple of offline highsec POS towers so he could put up his own. An announcement went up for us, wardecs went out, and 24 hours later we took down the towers with no incident in just under an hour. It was a super clean and uneventful contract. I missed one a day earlier for a freighter escort out of 0.0 which seemed similarly uneventful. [NMG.] is on a bit of R&R, hence the lighter contracts this week, however I hear some more interesting work is headed our way *very* soon.
