Eve saw some events happen besides the usual PI/POS and skill updates.
My main saw a milestone pass, 60 Million SP. This is bitter sweet as I think the Main alt has about 25 Million that would have been on top of that 60 if I'd not split the training.
My null alt is back to training, I just have him placed at the last hi-sec station before his null home.I've left him in the +3 implant clone. I want to train up some skills over the next few days that will allow him to learn the books he has in station. My plans for this alt and the main alt have changed again, and as I have some a fair amount of time left on the account I'll use this to skill up the main alts cruise missile skills to V and get the specialisation to 3 or 4. This will still give time to get the null alt a bit of training. One that's done both these characters will prob be moved to my main account.
My null alts PI has been neglected as I can only do so much with him not in the same system as the PI.
My friend got his Hyperion. He splashed out on T2 rig's and the new skin that makes it the special edition. A good solid t2 fit was added along the lines of his preferred play style (seat of pants flying) dependent on cap boosters.

| The new shiny |
We went into another mission which was going really well. I got to destroy a structure that dropped an implant, listed in my cargo as having an isk value of 18 Million! nice :) but we were gate crashed by a ninja.
I don't usually become aggressive when this happens. Tears only egg them on and I dont' do that anyway.
What usually happens is I ask my friend to pull in drones, collect the loot from the MTU, pickup the MTU and warp off for a 5 or ten minute break. Not on that night.... on that night I decided to destroy the wrecks. So i targeted them.
Now would probably be a good time to mention that my alt and my friend are in different corp's. you think that being fleeted would make shooting the wrecks "we" created ok.... but no, my lil alt shooting the wrecks made the tempest go boom via the always helpful hi-sec security forces Concord.
Yes I had Concorded myself. Concordokken was mine.
The ninja seeing this must have laughed himself silly. He was quick to target me and get in on the concord kill mail. The kill mail listed a mission BS rat, Concord and him. I'm sure he won't be flouting that mail too far. Just another part if the isk / kill / death ratio's.
Then with the limited engagement timer on he held my pod and tried to convo me several times.
I dont' do the ransom convo cack so rejected all convo's from him. I ignored the last one and used the time to note the implants the clone did have.
At this stage and with blood in the water the other ninja loot/salvagers in system showed up, inc. a T2 logi.
I've always suspected that they would back each other up and had logi... now I can see it's true.
I think I was about 5 minutes into watching an episode of Vikings when they podded me.
Still in fleet with my friend, he was taking a break before going back in to finish off the mission.
I decided to wait out the timers before correcting some of the damage done.
I was down a fitted tempest. A clone + implants & security statues due to my actions.
I was grateful to the loot faeries that the implant I had picked up in mission was destroyed when the ship blew :) My friend was good enough to sell the mission loot he had in station and give back the isk he owned me along with some parts to help rebuild.
Anyway first thing I did was to upgrad my clone, with one implant in station I could use I went to Rens to replace the rest.
I was about 26 jumps away form the mission area my friend was so I took some time and jumped back there while still watching the episode of Vikings.... ( Season 2 episode 7, best episode of the season I think ).
While doing this I decided to put in a petition about the action of shooting my own fleets mission wrecks and getting concorded for it. If you dont' ask you wont' know....
Once I'd reached the station we were based out of I decided to pack up shop and haul the remnants of gear back the 26 jumps to the alts home station. While doing this I logged my other account and hopped on as my second main to do a few more missions.
Once we were done I parked up the Minmatar alt and redistributed the alt's gear into the various station containers.
The following day I was surprised to find that I had a reply from a GM.
The ship had been returned to me! The implants from the clone had been returned also!! And the sec status had been reversed!!!
I was in delighted shock!!!! What a fantastic turnaround!!!!
The returned ship was only a partial fit, it was a resurrected ship given only the cargo and fit that had been destroyed with it. I refitted from what I had in station.
The cargo included the implant that I had picked up earlier in the mission before being blown up! So I flew it to Rens, sold the implant, got 18Mill for it. Used the isk to then finish off the fit. What a sweet ending to a story.
So with all that alt's gear back in the main home station along with the returned ship etc I was happy to call the alt/Tempest experiment a win. I'll leave that alt parked up until I find a new project to do.
The day after I got the tempest back, we went missioning again. He was in his new shiny Hyperion, I was with my second main in a Tengu.
All was going fine until the aggro switched to him as he aligning, he was webbed/scrammed and doing a cap booster reload when the dps seemed to peak. The wrong place at the wrong time. I saw a large explosion and then a pod on grid. There is not need to repeat what was said in chat, you can guess.
After the initial shock of the "incident" he was remarkably calm about it. He jumped back into his Dominix and carreid on as if nothing had happened.
It had a short life but it did burn brightly.
Because I've been watching the Vikings series I've been listening to a lot of the music used for it, I think it's worth sharing.... Løyndomsriss, Heimta Thurs, Ingwar, Helvegen & Solringen all by Wardruna
