First Blood

Ah Tuesday, glorious Tuesday...

Our wardec with Silver Twilight Enterprises over the Zeitgeist affair has gone live as of last night. The first 14 hours or so of the war has seen behavior that we at Legion have come to expect from Zeitgeist...ship spinning in station while talking nonsense smack in local.

So after a restful night's sleep I receive a call from my colleague from the frozen north, Kainan. The WTs are on the move after apparently getting bored sitting in station. Well that definitely gets the adrenaline flowing as only the prospect of killmails can do on a nice cold Michigan morning. I log on in Venilen, in The Citadel. All around me are six war targets...all docked, and mostly former ZTG members. After ignoring the bait/smack from IR2Way, it's back off to Irjunen for a quick ship change for something with a bit more firepower.

Swapping out to an Absolution, it's back to Kino in Lonetrek. Dodging through Venilen again and avoiding the now six docked war targets, Kainan and I pounce on a lone mining Hulk and snag the ship, the pod, and an aggressive Dread spawn that was sitting waiting to be claimed. There was much rejoicing and chuckling as the spin-masters next door refused to move even on the trip back through.

While not much in the vast scheme of things, first blood is ours and now others are paying for Zeigeist's refusal to pay up...and that always brings a smile to my face. Just remember STE, 1.5 billion and their removal from alliance and the pain stops. Oh, and please feel free to continue to mine during wartime. ^_^
