Prologue; Waking up again..... This is the 4th time I've awoken from a long nap. During my periods of long inactivity, the universe around me changes a lot faster than you would expect. I've seen empires rise during my times awake and be in full power by the time I rest; when I awake next, they are but a memory, a story for the new generations of those regions. Sadly, I was part of one such empire during my last period of activity, One that had risen to great capacity in the local constellation. I was Second in command to someone named Gendrath Valkson, who I would come to call a true friend and one I would pledge my time to. We started off as a couple of miners munching on astroids in the belts of Simela. Gendrath ran a general corporation, nothing big he said, just something small to make it easier among those of us that are always working together. He had thrown the money together to get it started and wasn’t too creative when it came to names so as such it was known as, Valkson, that’s it. Not Valkson Inc. or Valkson Corp. or anything of the sort. Nope he had named it Valkson. Over the course of my last cycle we grew to a fleet of 9 members, I was flying the Industrial Command ship known as the Orca, Beautiful beast of a ship, it allowed my fleet members to mine faster, and further, while also providing a place for them to dump their ore. We had a chick named Zaphire that managed our hauling so the only time my ore hold got used was when she was jumping back to station for unloading. 1 Command ship, 1 Freighter, 3 Mining Barges, 4 Exhumers, was our ending fleet make up. In a days worth of work we 9 could eat entire belts worth of asteroids and turn in a load of ore worth up to a billion or more isk. By the time I went to sleep we had worked up to owning 15 moon mining stations that pulled and fractured every 48 hours. An Engineering complex that we used to manufacture our own ships and other products to sell. It was a very profitable venture and time to be awake, but I had grown tired and needed to rest. When I woke up this time though I knew I had been personally effected from the churn, for my ships AI system had detected the station come under attack while I slept. It beamed me aboard and did an automated safety warp. I awoke to a screen full of warnings and notifications of a burned empire, while drifting through space. Over the first few days of being awake again I took the time to catch up on recent changes in tech and the market, where my assets and ships had been transported to by concord during the attack. I also took some time to reach out to Gendrath and the old fleet mates to see where they were in their cycles, and if they were awake or not. Gendrath and Zaphire were, we chatted about our burned out empire for a bit before talking about what to do next. Gendrath wants to start getting into combat a little more heavily, and Zaphire doesn’t have anything dedicated yet from the sounds of it. While looking through new tech and research, it would seem that the moons have been over mined while I have been away. They are no longer producing any high grade ore and only the base moon ore that we would get as scrap off of the previous chunks. Todays miners are trying to make profit on the material that we would throw away and let drift off into the abyss. This got me thinking though, I'm sure that there is going to be plenty of people, corporations, and alliances, pulling their old moon mining structures down because of the new conditions. This would be a way that I/We could make a lot of money. Each Refinery could be sold for more than three quarters of a billion ISK, or saved for another cycle in the future when it is profitable to mine again. I decided to fit up an industrial hauler; The Iteron Mk V, and go do some structure scouting in the local area. Simela didn’t have any unanchoring but its just one system so I kept going. Bherdaspot, next system over, had one unanchoring. I made a note and kept going, Malma next. In Malma while jumping to the second planet I noticed an blank Athanor on my Directional Scanner. After entering in the coordinates on my warp drive and initiating it, I took a closer look at it. There was no info packets being broadcast off of it, nothing to say that the station was on and accepting guests. Upon leaving my warp tunnel and landing on grid with the Athanor, it hits me. My instincts were correct. They had just led me to an abandoned refinery floating in space, ready to be claimed. For when a structure is unanchored it is made available for anyone to pick up and take ownership of. I call this reclaiming them, some people call it stealing. Another quick check of the grid around me showed that there was no one else with me, that I could see, so I made my choice and initiated the command to scoop the compressed structure into my cargo hold. After the cargo is confirmed to be in my hold, my ship starts lighting up, turns out that there is an ownership tag on these things, and the automated system had sent out a criminal action broadcast and declared me a suspect that anyone can fire upon. Without a second thought I choose a nearby station and hit the automated docking commands that will both warp me as close to it as I need to be and initiate the docking procedure with the station. My heart is racing as my ship is aligning with the stolen structure in my hold. If I can make it to and dock in the station I'll be free and clear to wait out the suspect timer, and be a refinery richer. I exit warp and my systems chime "Docking Request Accepted" Made it, without incident too. Tomorrow I will have to get in touch with Gendrath and Zaphire and see if this is something that they want to do together and make a profit on. I got together with Gendrath and Zaphire for lunch at the Sisters station in Simela, and we went over my idea and feelings about the future and where things are going. I also showed them my current Cargo Hold Manifest at the Sisters of Eve (SoE) Station; A shiny new Athanor. They couldn’t believe that I'd found it yesterday just floating not 2 systems away from where we were eating lunch now. They were hooked, and more than excited to start our new venture I will be keeping a journal during this cycle to record the adventures that it entails. With our old stock of ships and the new funds from the abandoned Athanor we should have plenty of starting capital to make this adventure last for some time, and if anything we can have a backup of our once great empire if things go well. Week 1 - Getting back in the seat Week 1: 4/11 - 4/18/2020 Well we are off to a good start. After a picking out our regions, we got to work scouting structures. It didn't take too long before everyone was set up, not nearly as long as I thought it would. I'm going to try to keep track of any activity on grid with the unanchoring structures but sometimes there just isn't any activity at all. Agal - Industrial (Star Serpent Corporation) Found: 4/10 10:55pm Unanchored: 4/11 6:17 PM Structure: Raitaru Sold: 493,833,000isk Scooped: Shamus +++++ Star Serpent, the owner and CEO, was there at the structure waiting for it to unanchor. Apparently he didn't know that the structure popped 50km away from him, when he needs to be within 2,500m to scoop it. I say this because he was slow boating to it. I had warped straight to the compressed Raitaru and scooped it right from under his nose. I then talked with him and gave him some tips about how to do it better next time. He seemed like a good guy that really just didn't know much about structures and how they worked. We added each other to contacts to keep in toEden.in case he ever needs my services or advice. He is the kind of pilot we need here in New Eden, one that can take a loss and not give up. Sadly though, he stopped unanchoring his Athanor that was on grid. +++++ Bherdasopt - Public Refinery (Low Tax Mission Snax) Found: 4/7 10:28pm Unanchored: 4/12 1:05pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 772,420,500isk Scooped: Gendrath +++++ Thought that this one would come out on Tuesday, and I had found it the first day of unanchoring, I'm glad I was off today and watching the controls. No one was on grid but man it still gets my heart pumping as much as if someone was on grid. It doesn't last as long though. Great present for Easter Sunday, I do call them eggs when they pop unanchored. Beautiful little eggs... +++++ Ebasez - UT Station (Uranian Technologies) Found 4/10 5:23pm Unanchored: 4/12 3:48pm Structure: Astrahus Sold: 918,850,000isk Scooped: Shamus +++++ Shivaitee, the station owner showed up as it popped but he warped to the old saved location and was 38km away from the Astrahus when I landed next to its compressed egg. Second one for Easter Sunday. Mmmm it's kind of nice to scoop up an Astrahus, they are the most expensive of the medium structures. He didn't take it too well that I was reclaiming his structure and told me to go f**k myself multiple times. I offered to teach him how to do it properly, but he said "I Need no lessons from a thief!" and told me yet again to go f**k myself. Probably one of the saltier ones that I've had so far. +++++ Pashanai - SHSLC - Maquro (Sashimi Holdings LLC) Found: 4/8 11:32pm Unanchored: 4/13 6:50am Structure: Athanor Sold: 742,900,000isk Scooped: Zaphire +++++ Woke up after server reset to log back in the characters and while loading in Zaphire I noticed the Athanor she was watching had popped, there is a hanger container and a shuttle on grid. Ok its a shuttle no worries, I initiate warp to the egg and a Tayra shows up on grid while I'm in warp, he is right on grid with the Athanor! But instead of scooping it first he goes for the hangar container! I scoop the Athanor and warp off, dock up and disconnect.. I think that this station belonged to some old alliance friends that destroyed my once great Moon mining empire. One by one as they leave I will be there to scoop their structures. Also the fact that this one was a wake up and instant scoop leads me to believe in my instincts even more. If I had been any slower I would have missed this one. Seconds count in this profession +++++ Zimse - Core (MM Holdings) Found: 4/13 10:21pm Unanchored: 4/15 4:43pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 767,435,250isk Scooped: Shamus +++++ I found a new method of notification for the structures when they finish unanchoring with this Athanor. I tried putting a single item the station so I'd get a notification of item movement to Asset Safety when the station unanchors. I was right! It notifies you not 30s after it pops and becomes scoop-able. I was in Munory, which is a system over, when this one popped and I am surprised I made in and was able to scoop it. I landed on grid with 2 other ships, One Vagabond and one Tayra. I Thought I was going to miss it to the Tayra but I was able to land and scoop it before they were, the Vagabond had me targeted but didn't attack or anything, which is interesting. I wonder if the Praxis I am flying is a deterrent. I made it to a station safe and sound to unload the compressed station. Man what a rush; awesome to know that it is a near instant notification that your items are being transferred to asset safety. Sadly at his next Athanor he brought 4 other battleships to defend it. I decided to leave that one be and not test the bounds of my ship +++++ Bania - Deep Thought (42 Deep Thought Industries) 4/17 @ ? Found: 4/12 2:36pm Unanchored: 4/17 Missed +++++ Missed this one due to work, left @ 10am, returned at 5pm, empty grid, I bet it was around lunch time. Maybe I should take the tablet to work to monitor during lunch? For the moment though, missing one here and there when earning real world money isn't so bad. With the new method of alarming the structures I am able to camp whole systems that are small enough. Zimse for example, has 4 unanchoring and is less than 14au across. Allowing you to pop around system, while you wait for the structure to pop. once it does, D-Scan the system and warp to the egg. +++++ 4/17/2020 9:41pm Looking though other battleships and fits, the Praxis is really the only one that can fit a structure in it and still have a decent align time. The only other one with anywhere enough space is the Megathron but it aligns twice as slow as the Praxis, so it is the only viable battleship to scoop with. 4/18/2020 1:37am Looking through Industrial ships to see if there are any other viable options and @ max skills I got one down to 3.88s align time. Badger it does require lvl V Caldari Industrial (I - V 20day @ 34.5sp/m) to be that fast and have enough cargo space for a small structure. This will be Zaphires' new ship since she has the max skills to fly the thing. will be super nice knowing she is that slippery. Sadly it is a fit for Omega Scooper Pilots only. Zimse - 05 moon (ind Corporation of Moon Hellcat) Found: 4/13 10:22pm Unanchored: 4/18 9:35am Structure: Athanor Sold: 796,662,500isk Scooped: Shamus +++++ I warped to the egg after it had popped, thanks to the new notification method. I landed on grid with an Orca and an Iteron mk V. The Iteron V was 9,000km and closing away from the structures egg when I landed on grid, I was able to scoop it, warp off and drop into another station safely to wait out the suspect timer. I did miss one 30 minutes ago though sadly, we will see how many we can get by days end. I played the Salvager/Reclaimer a bit more with this corporation. +++++ +++++ Private Chat Logs +++++ tyrish Thellere > Hi Shamus O'neal > o/ Shamus O'neal > whats up? tyrish Thellere > You recently talked to Nickolas F Hunt I advise you to return the stolen otherwise you will have problems Shamus O'neal > Stolen? I'm sorry but i have a work order for the reclamation of unwanted structure 73169-f in Zimse, if this work order was filed in error, a fee of 750mil is required to get the structure out of impound tyrish Thellere > Who made this order? Shamus O'neal > Anon-469 on the 13th of the month tyrish Thellere > Do you understand that in case of failure you will be ordered? Shamus O'neal > I think you are failing to understand, I acknowledge I have your structure, I acknowledge that you want it back, but i cannot comply without the processing fee of 750mil to return the structure out of impound. +++++ Haron F Hunt > Hello pic maker, you have an hour to bring station back or u will be illuminated. I'm just saying a fact Shamus O'neal > :) processing fee of 750,000,000isk is required my friend. Work order 73169-f has been completed and a processing fee is required to remove the structure Zimse - 05 moon (ind Corporation of Moon Hellcat) from impound and adoption Shamus O'neal > ooooh we already have someone looking to adopt your structure for 800mil, I can hold the adoption papers for a moment if you would like to get it out of impound Shamus O'neal > Failure to pay the processing fee has seen your athanor adopted into a new home, I hope you treat your things better next time +++++ Work Order 73169-f from Anon-469, ha! I tried to give it back to them for a 750,000,000isk processing fee They brought 13 ships (78.3mil) to try to kill me! Didn't pop the praxis though, they had me in hull by the time Concord detected their aggression and proceeded to vaporize the ships they were flying. I put their kill rights up for 10mil(changed to 25) each so hopefully that'll do some damage and get used, +130mil(295mil) for me. +++++ Your kill right was used From: CONCORD Sent: 2020.04.18 20:22 Mantoptera Bogomol has been killed using your kill right. The kill right you had on this capsuleer has now been removed. +++++ Mantoptera Bogomol was one of the guys that tried to suicide gank me after stealing 05 moon.

I miss-clicked a gate instead of a structure and tried to U-turn; big mistake that turned out to be, they caught me on the gate as I tried to jump to a structure in system. I guess instead I'll have to jump the gate and try again on the other side. The Stargate wormhole spit me out into the next system, where I don't think my controls were responding correctly and I was sitting there aligning for a moment, mashing on the warp command in a fury. It finally responded and I entered warp headed to; another gate, damn. Lets do another U-turn to the first structure on overview. Few moments pause while I'm aligning to the nearest structure, as my heart is beating out of the clones chest. Time seemed to slow here and the 8 second align time that this battleship has felt more like the align time of a transporters freighter. I'm finally into warp headed in a safe direction and this cat and mouse game can come to an end. "Whooo! what a rush!" I scream into local chat "Man! Better than ANYTHING!!!!" +++++ Man that was a ton of fun and totally worth it! God damn, here I am 10 minutes later still with the shakes and heart pounding, god damn the Praxis is a good fit for this line of work. glad I could save this one from the dust. 4/18/2020 2:27pm Man I still have the shakes from that last encounter, what a rush!!! I'm very impressed with the Praxis and now I'm more confident that even if someone is defending and on grid I have a good chance of scooping it and getting away safely. That's 2 Athanors for today and in total 4 structures in the Praxis, I'd call that a staggering success for a battleship used for stealing structures. should have used Gendrath on the 4th structure, he was there in system and the defense fleet was following me. Would have snagged a 3rd today I bet. 6:40pm The rush is finally calming down. Wow that really was some amazing content and I am super surprised that; 1) The Praxis survived the suicide run attempt 2) I scooped it right out from under the whole fleet they had waiting to defend it 3) I made it away safely 4) That it was done on an alpha clone *Shout out to this corporation for having some balls to try to protect their structure* (ind Corporation of Moon Hellcat) First Week 4/11/2020 - 4/18/2020 Astrahus:[1] Athanor:[5] Raitaru:[1] Gendrath:[1] Shamus:[5] Zaphire:[1] Net Gain: 5,393,763,750isk Net Loss: 0isk What a week it has been! 5.3 Billion isk in the bank!! So many things learned, so early on, that can only make for a more successful journey and business venture. The notification system, the hardiness and speed of the Alpha Praxis, the speed of the Badger. All compared to what I used to run in the Iteron mk V. such a slow boat it feels like now. Had the most exhilarating scoop to date including before this play through of eve. Survived a Suicide gank of 13 people; and then subsequently scooped a structure from under the same 13 + 3 others including a Tengu. https://zkillboard.com/br/118498/- Missing one ship from the attempted suicide run https://evepraisal.com/a/qea01 - Estimated value of Reclaimed Structures before taxes and fees Week 2 - Holy Space Cow Week 2: 4/19 - 4/25/2020 4/19/2020 2:40pm in Jerma Structure: Athanor Sold: 791,775,000 isk Scooped: Shamus ----- I found an already unanchored and abandoned Athanor. No one on grid or anything, it was just sitting there lookin lonely. Man even these empty grid scoops provide a rush, and what a great way to start off the new week. ----- Munory - Schnuppi (Thueringer Goeren Corp) Found: 4/13 10:05am Unanchored: 4/20 6:00am Structure: Athanor Sold: 793,350,000 isk Scooped: Gendrath ----- No one was on Grid from the owning corporation, I haven't seen them at all actually this week, Gendrath was on grid cloaked in his Iteron mk V. This scoop lasted less then 30 seconds anyways even without anyone on grid. I wanted to be quick about it, as practice and just because you never know. Had him set up quickly after dropping off the Athanor in a near by station. There is another Athanor I need him to watch. Hopefully the next one will pop early before i have to leave for work; Sadly it didn't, but it also didn't pop while i was at work so that is a good thing. Hopefully it'll pop today. ----- Hutian - Holy Grail Industries (thatfyefye industries) Found: 4/19 11:27am Unanchored: 4/20 7:10pm Structure: Raitaru Sold: 568,890,000 isk Scooped: Shamus ----- This structure popped as i was watching Gendrath intently, He has a CEO on grid cloaked with him. Out of the corner of my eye i see my structure pop into its egg. Quickly I initiate warp and start the scooping procedure. Bing my alarm goes off, Turns out that notification system is about a minute slow, I was able to complete my warp before it notified me of the items being transferred to asset safety. There was one person on grid with me in a frigate but he was at the Athanor 6,000 Km away. I hoped that this structure would come out today. I watched as a Tech 2 Hauler warped back and forth from the stations to the only gate in this system. ----- Hutian - Hope Mining (thatfyefye industries) Found: 4/19 11:27am Unanchored: 4/20 7:12pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 792,382,500 isk Scooped: Shamus ----- As soon as I dropped off the Raitaru I received a notification that the Athanor unanchored. So i start spamming my selector on the distant structure but it wasn't working and was building my clones blood pressure, AH HA that's right D-Scan is better and they are within range. A quick refresh of the D-Scan Window and there she sits. Computer initiate warp to that Athanor! I shout at my control panel. The next 8 seconds feel like ages as the battleship slowly turns to re-align. Back on grid, scoop and back to station to drop off again, while aligning out i notice that the structures popped out 2 hanger containers, and the frigate pilot is still on grid. He laughed at me in the system chat. Not seeing anyone from the owning corporation in system chat I decide to take a look after dropping the Athanor off. The Owner had failed to retrieve some fuel and their Standup Moon Drill which is an extra 100+mil Standup Moon Drill I Sold: 115,000,000 ISK ----- Zimse - Hornis (DKL Fringe Division) Found: 4/13 10:24pm Unanchored 4/20 7:33pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 793,350,000 isk Scooped: Gendrath ----- This one had my heart pumping, Gendrath was the one who was watching it and scooped it up. The owner MR DEMOS showed up on grid at 6:50pm, about 40 minutes before the structure finished its compression, and we were intent on watching its screen. Because god damn i found it 3 hours after they started the unanchoring process apparently. This one had to be worth the wait. Mr Demos showed up in system and Gendrath was able to D-Scan his ship and watch him come onto grid. He was flying an Occator, landed about 1k km away from the structure and cloaked up. I can only assume that he then aligned to the structure and set his speed to full. We noticed him set up, so for the last 40 some odd minutes Gendrath has been hovering over his control board ready to execute his maneuver. Which he did rather smoothly and allowed him to be faster than a t2 hauler, which is rather impressive. Gendrath was already fully on grid and out of warp ready to initiate the scooping procedure by the time he was slowing down so he could exit warp. The whole maneuver was a success and Gendrath was able to make it into a station unharmed and egg intact. Mr Demos wasn't too happy though; he put a bounty of 150mil on Gendrath, sadly there isn't a efficient way to cash out bounties at the moment. hopefully that will change in the future and we can work something out, maybe I borrow one of his clones. Man the timing of these last 3 structures was intense. The owner for the other two structures thatfyefye isfye came into system while I was writing up the after action report. I offered to retrieve his structure from impound for him and all he would have to do is pay the processing fee, but he said "Nah I'm good" ----- Malma - MoonHaven (Dynamic Logistics) Found: 4/15 18:29 EVE Unanchored: 4/20 02:00 EVE Structure: Athanor Sold: 798,187,500 isk Scooped: Zaphire ----- Wow this one just blew me away, number five for today!, Just wow, This will be one hell of a week. Zaphire completed this one in her 4s Bustard, Thing is faster than I realized, It was scoop and she was in warp within 6s of landing on grid. Man we are getting faster at this. I think next time there is a defense fleet at one of the structures I might have to try my luck and snag it out from under them. Just wow, 5 structures today alone. This will probably be the most profitable single day, we will see though. tis not over yet. This one also popped while i was finishing the entries for the last 3 structures. Man what a day today is turning into. Structure before work, good days worth of work, and 4 structures after work. ----- 4/20/2020 I need to mention that the Asset Safety notification is not instant like i thought it was, its roughly 30-60s after the structure has unanchored, There is enough time for me to warp to and scoop before i get the notification. Maybe not the great discovery i thought it was, still nice to know when the structure unanchors 4/20/2020 10:17pm Zaphire bought everyone new SKINS for their ships! She got the Glacial Drift and Steel Cardinal skins for the Badger, Copies for Gendrath as well, then she got me the Praxis Capsuleer Elite XV and the Icecloud Investigators skins. Man the Icecloud Investigators looks slick! Happy 4/20 Everyone! Fly High! Gonan - Le Menhir (Land-Of-Peace) Found: 4/17 11:37pm Unanchored: 4/21 1:35am Structure: Athanor Sold: 798,187,500 isk Scooped: Gendrath ----- Activity started on grid around 1:00am with Yeesha sitting in the station. letty torreto the CEO showed up next in an orca and was slow boating it towards the Athanor. Dem'lock was next to show and in a capsule that he boarded a Occtor and proceeded to follow the orcas lead. Procxy came in shortly after also in a capsule and boarded an Algos before warping around the system. Wolf Cadelanne eventually joined with a Nereus; i thought that he was going to be my problem but he just sat there on undock. I paused everything else i was doing with all of the activity suddenly on grid. Ran the routine through my head a couple of times so i could be quick enough. It pops and my cameras view returns to that of the ship, Decloak, initiate warp to Athanor, prepare scoop! We are out of warp! Scoop Scoop Scoop!!!! And….Warp to nearest station! and warp successful! Gendrath was able to make it into station safe and sound, Procxy locked him with the Algos for all of 2 seconds before he was in warp. That makes 6 today. Just wow, 1 day that is almost as much as all of last week!!! Its only been two days and we are already up to 7 structures reclaimed. ----- 4/21/2020 4:24am Man what a day 4/20 was, I'm in shock honestly at just how many structures came out today. Five Athanors spread over five different systems. Then one of those Athanors was a double pop with a Raitaru. Today came to a little under 5bil, we will have an actual number when all the structures sell, which might take some time now. Man if I hadn't been scouting like I had we would have only gotten one maybe two today. Should I start keeping track of how many systems/stations I actually check during my scouting. That would give me some more data to work with, but I don’t think it would provide much of an boost to the operation. Its more than just how many structures you check, Its also where you look, and there is a bit of luck attached to this For example; I've checked whole clusters of 0.5 Security space and came across none that were unanchoring. While checking another cluster and found 12+ structures unanchoring. What I could do though is study the map a bit more. I need to find the 0.5 security clusters that have a decent amount of moons and systems. A cluster of 3 isn't as good as one of 6 or so. Manatirid - Play EVE and Be Happy. (EVE FOR FUN) Found: 4/17 1:45pm Unanchored 4/21 1:06pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 798,187,500 isk Scooped: Zaphire ----- K0T BEGEM0TT, the CEO, showed up in system at 12:00 noon in an Iteron Mk V, He docked up for a bit before undocking and just stopping his ship around 12:45pm. Que hover mode for ship controls. Same sequence as Gendrath, Uncloak, initiate warp, prepare scooping controls, exit warp and initiate scooping, select warp to target and off we go. With Zaphire's 4 second align Badger, she really does make short work on these scoops. I don't even think he really had time to react. I had her log once she got into station, This one was in the local area for us, so better to be cautious anyways, though I don't think we will be setting up anything like we used to have. With this one popping our scouting list is now empty. 3 of the Athanors i had found have stopped unanchoring as of this morning, so today will be a big day of scouting ----- 4/21/2020 8:00pm After 7 hours of jumping systems and scanning structures we built up the scouted list to 15 structures. Zaphire found a system with 6 structures, mostly Athanors, unanchoring, and then 2 structures next door. I found a system with 3 Athanors and a Astrahus unanchoring in it, and then two Athanors next door. Gendrath found 1 in his cluster of systems so he is going to camp that one and then move over to Zaphire's system. Would be amazing to scoop 15 structures! 4/21/2020 9:28pm So, everyone has finished scanning their clusters, and has now set up in their positions. I've settled into some reading and thought I would do some research on the subject we find ourselves diving into. It turns out that there is very few people covering the subject matter and even less making public records/knowledge available. I believe I will fill this niche and give everyone a good thrill with the stories and after action reports. I had originally planned on releasing the journal but now, it’s a for sure thing. I think the reason its so easy is because people are just unaware of the procedures around Unanchoring a structure. There also doesn't appear to be many ship loadouts based around the subject and that could be another reason for the ease of theft. There just aren't many people optimizing fits for a ship that they will use once or twice during their cycle. I say this because, looking at the Eve University page, the Upwell Structure guides that are made public on New Edens website, the large forum communities, there isn't any mention of a 4 second Hauler or a Battleship used for structures. There are only a handful of articles about Stealing structures and even less about the procedures on safely Unanchoring. For this cycle I believe this is what I am going to set out to do. If at any time I get pulled away into a long nap I will program the computers to Auto Upload the corresponding documents. I'm hoping that nothing will get in the way and I will be able to complete my goal. Though I might cut back the time line, 6months total instead of 12, first 3 months of just recording before releasing the notes in a weekly updated series. I don’t know, it will be something ill think on. 6 months = 26 or so weekly releases, a year would be 52. Now here is another question; with this big of a scouting list do we wake up some of the remaining crew members and put them to work, or do we save the isk on the wake up fee's and what we miss is what we miss, because either way we will miss some, and in the last day we brought in enough to wake up 2 of them and keep Gendrath and Zaphire in their upgraded clones. Stinking rent for those things is almost equal to two Athanors, and it’s a monthly cost! Gah too rich for my blood, hahaha, coming from the guy who has scooped 8 of the 15 structures so far. Well I could always just upgrade my clone while I'm thinking about it. That way I could start using that speedy badger and cloak that Zaphire has, that thing is super slippery. Gendrath is already started training towards it, and he is thinking about injecting into it as well. I shook my head at him when he said that.

'Rogue" Evasive Maneuvering EM-705 implant With Max Minmatar Industrial, Ship Operation, and Evasive Maneuvering, this setup is able to reach 2.98s Align time and 8,132m3 Cargo capacity. With an EHP of 24.7k and a total estimated cost of 272mil, with the command lag, this rounds up to a 3 second align time, making the Wreathe the fastest of the bunch, none of the others really have the play room (Without the Eifyr implant and the Shadow Serpentis inertial stabilizers this will do 3.2s align time and cost around 34.5mil. It’s the fact that you have to break the barrier. There is no different between 3.2 and 3.99 align time because of the server commands. You need to round up the number) If we want to talk about META I think the Wreathe would be the one to go with so far, aye it’s a bit blingy in cost, but sub 3s align time for a hauler with enough space for a small structure is just insane It is an Omega clone only though because us Alpha clones can only train lvl 1 of any given races industrial skill Looking at the T2 Haulers now, I found that the Covert-Ops Blockade Runners can align at sub 4s and since they can warp while cloaked that would be super surprising to see suddenly appear right next to your compressed structure and then disappear with it So after some thinking I believe we will wake up another crew member and get him flying again. I just don’t know who it should be, I will have to look over their skills again and refresh my memory. We need someone who will be able to hop straight into the cloaky t2 hauler fit that I just put together 4/22/2020 2:00am After some talking and experimenting I have decided to go with the Crane as the Omega ship of choice. I came to this conclusion after looking up a skill simulation program and having the knowledge of how it is going to fly when skilled into played a big part in this. Of the 4 different races t2 ships there really isn't much leeway in terms of our needs so it came down to what we could get into quickly. The main reason I am choosing this one for everyone to upgrade into is the fact that its able to warp cloaked. Meaning they can scan whole systems without being seen on grid with any structure, their only tell will be dropping off the alarm device, jumping into system, and in system chat. With this upgrade the scooping procedure will change slightly. Instead of decloaking before warping they will decloak as they are exiting warp and landing next to the compressed structure. They will need to deactivate it via hot key so that they can have the scooping mechanism ready to deploy. Now currently this is all theory as we are just upgrading but I see them only being uncloak for the 5 seconds the cloaking hardware needs to reset. This is how it plays out in my mind. Activity on grid > Increase speed > Structure Unanchors > Initiate warp > Prep Scoop > Eye out on warp drive status > Decloak as exiting warp > Fully exit Warp and simulatiuslly Deploy Scoop > Upon Successful Confirmation Recloak > Initiate warp to nearest dockable structure. The actual scooping part should take less than 5 seconds, and upon scooping hopefully there isn't anything within 2,500m of them so they can recloak and be warping before the target has any semblence of reaction If you decloak as the warp drive is spooling down it should allow the necessary time needed for the cloak to reset after scooping.

We also talked and decided to wake up Vladimar, he had a built up store of Information Upload Points or otherwise known as Skill Points. This allowed him to quick train into the above ship, which should have been a 2 month or more training process for him. Glad he had saved them up for a rainy day. Gendrath also decided to quickly finish off his training instead of waiting a month. Cost him an Athanors worth of ISK, but he sees it as a needed investment because this feeding frenzy isn't going to last forever so he might as well get in and make some money and save up some more SP before it is over. I gave Vladimar a run down of what happened to our empire and where we were going from here, he was a little peeved about our own alliance being the ones to destroy the empire but he quickly overcame that when I told him what we have been up to now. He grew quite excited actually and quickly asked for the ship details that we are using, which I happily and immediately sent him. After a quick browse I could see him injecting the necessary information directly into his neural interface by the means of his hand held Pilot Interface Tool or Pit. I could see it in his eyes as the information poured into him and then suddenly stopped. "Alrighty, I'm ready. We are lucky I had all those Skill Points saved up, I used almost 1.5mil of the 2.3 I had. Now, where is my ship and where am I going?" he asked excitedly I told him about the two different pods of unanchoring structures and then explained that I'm not in an omega clone at this time and it might be best if he follows me to the cluster of systems I found. There was some CEO activity tonight already I also sent over a packet of procedure details that outline the operation at the moment and told him to give it a read and get back to me with any questions or ideas. I also sent him his location, after a few moments he said he was in position and that there was someone named Caldari Researcher that had just undocked from the target Athanor in a Covetor Mining Barge. Glad he warped in cloaked up and didn’t give away the fact we are watching his structure With Vladimar awake and now trained in transport ships I need to get a Bustard incase a defense fleet forms, though with the new cloaked warp capable ships I wonder if it will be a problem at all. Will still be for me in the basic clone, disconnected from some of my better skills. Oh well, I'm cheap at the moment and want to see how many a basic clone can scoop up. Because looking over my alpha fit Praxis, is really doesn’t take many skill points to fly it. I just don’t think many people have thought of this niche use for it. But I do guess it is an expensive ship for an alpha pilot to get and I just happened to have a few from back in the day gathering dust. As it stands now our expenses are: 2,864,695,100 ISK, around the price of 3.5 Athanors. The expenses include waking up Vladimar, Skilling Gendrath, and Upgrading ships for, Zaphire, Gendrath and Vladimar. I am going to stick with my battleship for the moment, I am enjoying the ability to go explore the system and kill pirates where I find them while I wait on the structures. 4/22/2020 2:51am - Caldari Research undocks in a Caldari Shuttle. 2:52am - Someone else just connected in the structure 2:54am - Vlad checked other structures in system and no other activity is noted on the other grids 3:10am - Dr Kalkyl undocked in an orca 3:10am - 2 target corp OBOLH members in system 3:23am - Dr Kalkyl docks back into U10M14 Nothing ended up happening and I retired to bed . 10:08am - Woke up to the last of the structures sold on market and no structures were missed. 10:54am - Gendrath has 3 target corp members in Ebo with him One of them is the CEO of the corp; 3dgcmod, there isn't anyone on grid with the station though I also have a target corp member in system with me but he is from the corporations in the system that Vladimar is watching right next door. 11:06am - LightWave Newtek joined the other Ebo members online. Still no one on grid. 12:30pm - Still 4 members of 3DCGM in system with Gendrath, None have showed up on grid with the targeted structure 12:41pm - 3dgcmod talks in system 1:08 pm - 3dgcmod starts being more active In system chat 1:29pm - Caldari Research connects to system chat. Not on grid with U10M14. Running a quick check of the other stations 1:31pm - Negative on him being inside any of the other unanchoring stations. 2:04pm - Everyone is still in their systems from before, and still no one on grid with the structures. 2:10pm - 3DCGM members in Ebo disconnect from system chat. 3:24pm - I am just warping around to any pirate bases that gets detected and so far today I've found two Dread Guristas pirates hiding. 10:37pm - Activity on grid with Vladimar, Navid Motsu in a shuttle. He also just saw an orca warp off grid, I believe they are moving their stuff out in anticipation for its unanchor 4/23/2020 1:10am - Continuing to clear out pirate bases and just ran across a Dread Gurista Cruiser hiding. His Dread Guristas Adaptive Invulnerability Shield Hardener dropped, which has an estimated value of 230mil which will make a nice bonus 1:18am - 3 members of OBOL are online and in system with Vladimar, one of them is currently docked in one of the target structures and then one is also the CEO of the holding corp. Amarr Tiger undocked in a Sigil and warped off 1:23am - Amarr Tiger came back in a pod then left with a stabber 1:26am - Saw a Prowler on D-Scan [T2 Blockade Runner] 1:28am - Navi Koraka connected to system chat and showed up in U10M14 and undocked in a Miasmos before warping off. More asset evacuation as the structure compresses 1:35am - Navi came back in a pod and left in a badger, looked like he had a pretty slow align time so probably filled up with his gear 1:38am - Navi back again to grab a Kestrel . 1:39am - Navi back again for his Heron. All this activity on U10M14 leads me to think it was their main structure. Will it pop first? Or last? Ikami - One Warehouse (Huntard Hunter) Found: 4/21 6:31pm Unanchored: 4/23 4:49pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 754,650,000 ISK Scooped: Zaphire ---- I was out smoking when i got the notification that it had unanchored and Zaphire was in the neighboring system. Talk about running to her remote control station. I am surprised that i was able to scoop this one. I had to warp to perch and then warp to structure, The new scooping procedure went off with out a hitch I am happy to report. There wasn't anyone on grid when I warped her ship to the stations perch. My heart was still racing as I was spamming D-Scan to see if the structure was still there or not. It leapt when I saw it still there on grid. 1 down 14 to go on the current list. ---- 4/23/2020 8:15am - Sadly I slept through one, I heard the notification go off in my sleep as I had just snoozed my actual alarm. So I sat there a moment and wondered what it was before it clicked and I got up in a flurry, WARP WARP WARP!! I screamed as I mashed the controls towards the Athanor on D-scan. As the grid came in to view I see an Orca and a Machariel on grid, as the ship was slowing down to exit warp with my hand over the scooping switch the structure disappears off of the overview….I had missed it, for multiple reasons….If only I hadn't snoozed the alarm and had gotten up on time, I would have scooped a structure before leaving for work. 4/24/2020 3:00am - Not really any action today, there are a few target corp members in system, but after warping around I couldn’t find them, could be in one of the many Empire supported stations. While waiting on structures to compress I've still be cleaning up pirates and today I ran across a Drone Assembly and while cleaning it out I spooked a Sentient Alvium. It graciously gave me a Rogue Drone 46-X Nexus Chip. I've heard about these from Gendrath. Apparently the Sisters of EVE will trade a single run blueprint copy of their specialized frigate; The Astero, for one. Might have to go turn it in after this scouted list is done. 5:30pm - Got back from work after leaving at 8:20am and found that a pod of 6 structures popped at 10:28am, Grrrrr!! Man that is disappointing, I know I was earning cold hard cash but man, 6 structures!!! From the looks of the notification log. He unanchored all of the structures at the same time! He didn’t give himself any prep time between structures and the system chat log shows someone named Lord Frifri saying "What's the chances you giving these back and not being a nasty mofo? That’s real low man." "but whatevs gf" which I can only assume is connected to the structures, he is part of that pods owning corporation. Other than that Gendrath has 4 Tcms in system with him but nothing on grid or in station. Zaphire has been reset onto a new target. Vladimar still has the same guy in system with him but also no grid activity or anyone in station. He has been docked in the Uchoshi X - Moon 11 - Science and Trade Institute School station. He has been there since this morning. No change in my system. Still no sightings of any Target Corp Members (Tcms). Hopefully the rest of the day goes well, I have tomorrow and the next day off. 6:55pm - Just read about a new upcoming update to structures and how they function. HA! Right when I get into structures. Turns out that they are putting a new power state on them, Abandoned. During this state; Asset Safety is turned off! (Time to bash!) The structures can be taken down in one go with no automated reinforcement. This means I will need a structure. Or we can all turn into ninjas and go around collecting loot that other people work for. I'm also pretty sure that there is going to be a huge influx of unanchoring structures here in the next 7+ days up until the update. Do I wake up the rest of the crew and get them into ships quickly and prep for it? How many people are going to log in, hit unanchor, and then when it comes time forgets about it 8:13pm - Gendrath found his 3 of his Tcms out mining, no sight of the other one though. 4/25/2020 6:00am - Missed an Astrahus by seconds, I accidently deactivated my cloak early before warp then I activated the scoop while exiting warp a little early and had to redeploy it again, sadly he was right there on top of the compressed structure anyways. 10:00am - I have awoken 3 more crew members and have upgraded my own clone to Omega for this next month, the feeding frenzy is going to be too great to pass up. Cost of 4 Omega clones: 5,648,000,000 ISK Cost of 4 Blockade Runners + Fits: 818,041,600 ISK Total Crew: 7 Everyone had enough floating SP to quick train into the needed fit. I'm glad they all had them saved up. Took over 1.5mil sp to get where they needed to be, but for the most part everyone got there, I'm lagging a bit behind on the Evasive maneuvering skill, I'll have to slow train the rest of the way. It'll take me around 7 days to finish training the skill but it doesn’t effect the blockade runner too much being under a skill level on that. I still align at 3.96s so still at the 4s mark. 6:20pm - Have finished scanning for the day, found 5 new targets with one of them being an Astrahus, hopefully we will be able to swipe it. Three days left on the first batch of scouting. Half of them have popped already and I have only been able to scoop one due to work in virtual. Hopefully with so many sets of eyes out there we will be able to recoup our expenses and make a healthy profit on top of it. Current scout list is 11, hoping for a good 75% due to 7 sets of eyes and the notification system. Ikami - Far Oasis (Phantom Frontiers) Found: 4/21 6:32pm Unanchored: 4/25 9:32pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 753,650,000 ISK Scooped: Zaphire ---- Woke up from an early nap to this one popping, There wasn’t anyone on grid and when I woke up it had already been 45 minutes from the looks of the logs, could have easily missed this one, in two different ways, 1st being just sleeping through it like I did and 2nd was when it came time to scoop I had my default warp to command set at 10km from when I was scouting with her ship earlier. Need to remember to change that setting after scouting. Glad they forgot about it though and we were able to add it to the reclaimed list ---- 4/25/2020 11:45pm - Scouted another system after Zaphire was able to scoop her target, found a system with 4 structures unanchoring, 2 Athanors, 1 Azbel, and 1 Sotiyo. Single system with ~25bil worth of structures unanchoring. 12:00am - Man what a week it has been. Lets see the stats for it 4/19/2020 - 4/25/2020 Athanor: [9] Raitaru: [1] Gendrath: [3] Shamus: [3] Zaphire: [4] Previous Week: 5,393,763,750 ISK Week Income: 7,642,610,000 ISK Week Expenses: 9,330,736,700 ISK Total Income: 13,036,373,750 ISK Total Expenses: 9,330,736,700 ISK Total Profit: 3,706,637,050 ISK Man what a week, started off with a truly abandoned structure and ended with one as well. Along with the discovery of an unanchoring Sotiyo which is a Large structure and can only fit in Zaphire's Charon Freighter. We are set up for the most part, Dexter has been assigned to assist Zaphire as a webbing alt so that her Freighter can enter warp faster than a minute like usual. I've assigned Drak'ma to the Azbel there in a cloaky Orca Industrial Command ship. We rigged it for cargo capacity and are about to just barely squeeze the compressed structure into the cargo bay. It'll be a tight fit and our most expensive target so far. That'll be in the next week, here's to a good upcoming week. Week 3 - The Flood Week 3 4/26 - 5/2/2020 4/26/2020 4:16am - Alright, after over a 100 jumps in total everyone is set up except for the bumping ships that I would like for us to have on grid but we will have to make do without if need be and pray for the best. As it stands currently our watch list is worth 33,143,727,272 Isk which is just insane. I really hope we are able to reclaim the Sotiyo and the Azbel as that’s 25bil out of that 33.1 Usi - MOM (Keroska Industries Limited) Found: 4/25 10:35pm Unanchored 4/26 10:09am Structure: Athanor Sold: 740,137,500 ISK Scooped: Dexter ---- Came back after smoking a cig to the notification that this one had popped, quickly reshipped Dexter from his webbing setup into the Praxis and off to the perch, I arrived about 4 minutes after it unanchored to an empty grid other than the compressed structure and an empty hanger container. No one from the owning corp is even in system chat. Gonna say that this one was abandoned. Hopefully their second one comes out today too. I am really surprised I was able to warp to perch (which I hadn't checked before so I was 64k km away and couldn’t see the grid of the structure) and see it on D-scan before returning to dock and grabbing the Praxis to scoop it up with, I then had to warp to the perch again as the structure wasn’t within D-Scan range. So many chance for it to go wrong on this one. The CEO ended up connecting to system chat about an hour after it unanchored, after a moment he disconnected again. I had Dexter run over to his other unanchoring structure and check on it. There was someone inside, so he could have a crew member that isn't part of the structure owning corporation connected to system chat and we wouldn’t know. I had him stay in the Praxis and make ready on the off grid perch to their next structure, maybe it'll pop today. Hopefully before the Sotiyo so that he can be ready to web Zaphire into position and away again ---- Ebo - 3D PRINTING DELTA (3DCGMODELR) Found: 4/21 4:18pm Unanchored: 4/26 5:38pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 740,137,500 ISK Scooped: Gendrath ---- Man I've been waiting for this one to pop, The CEO and his alts have been online and sitting in his other station for the last 3 days and has had me tense. This scoop was flawless though. Camera returned to the ship indicating it had popped, decloaked while coming out of warp, instantly scooped the structure upon exiting warp, was aligning by the time the cloak was ready to reactivate. Just a smooth scoop I must say, still got the shakes from it though. ---- 4/26/2020 6:38pm - Just got word from an old alliance member about another Azbel that is unanchoring, this will put my watch list up to 34.9bil after scooping 2 Athanors off of it already. Man if these all come out this week it will be amazing. 4/27/2020 9:28am - Missed one while I slept and was auto disconnected so I didn’t have the chance to hear the alarm for it. Its coming up on day 6 and 7 for a pod of 3 Athanors though, hopefully it will be today 6:43pm - We are within the final 24 hours for the structures in Uchoshi which happens to be a pod of 6. The member of the non holding corp that has been online the last few days pretty much all day is offline at the moment, but there isn't any activity on grid. I had Tiamat move over to help Vladimar out, leaving only one structure un watched but all three are alarmed. So at any point either Vlad or Tiamat could run over and scoop the one that is unwatched if it happens to unanchor first. Sadly everyone else is too far away to move for the final 24 hours and are watching systems with more than one structure unanchoring 11:24pm - Lots of activity on the Limp Vulture Azbel in Diaderi that Gendrath is situated on. Hopefully there isn't going to be a huge amount of competition on it 4/28/2020 12:08am - Decided to scout the systems everyone is already stationed in, we found 3 new Athanors unanchoring. My feeling was correct, there is going to be a mass unanchoring in 3 days that I expect will last until the upwell structure update in the next month. Glad they are finally taking measures to cut back on the space trash. Still wish we could occupy abandoned structures, but I guess we could always message people in the coming days about the update and tell them that they are on our list unless they clean up their structures by unanchoring or fueling. I wonder if that would work 5:46am - Thought that they might pop around the Universal reconnection time but nope, 13 hours left until its been 7 days since we found it.. I really dislike finding them right after they start unanchoring. Makes for a long week of camping and not many structures scooped. 8:00am - 10 Hours left on the Uchoshi pod of 3 if we found it right when it started unanchoring. So I'm going to say its <10 left to go 8:32am - OldTentSkin is connected to the Diaderi System chat and he looks like to be a copy clone of the CEO. Is there going to be action with an Azbel today? Yesterday turned out to be fruitless sadly but you can't be too careful when coming this close to the scouts 7 day timer 9:15am - OldTentSkin disconnected from system chat, Gendrath never saw him on grid, so no idea where he went or what he did just that he disconnected. Also 9 hours left in Uchoshi, still no activity by the target corp. 10:00am - 8 Hours to go. No activity yet 10:45am - OldTentSkin was in system chat for a moment 11:00am - 7 Hours left on the clock, man I really hope we didn’t find it minute after they started them. Bah, bad luck if we did. I hope they pop here in lets say 3 hours, or even better, 15 minutes. Hahaha. 12:00pm - 6 Hours remaining, man we really did find it right after didn’t we…I am going to laugh If this guy made them all unanchor at the same time. That would be just perfect. Also I'm not detecting any other campers in our current systems. 1:00pm - 5 Hours left, man I could have slept! Bah! 1:30pm - just talked with a guy by the name of Kilian mintjens that looked like he was scouting out the Usi system, and the Azbel there, kindly told him the area was already being watched and he would have better luck elsewhere. He told me to send him a mail if I was successful in my operation 2:00pm - 4 Hours…God damn it man…. 3:00pm - 3 Hours… Still nothin 3:04pm - Activity, Leha Makentash connects to Uchoshi local member of Mining Production, owner of 11.15 USSR Athanor…Damn 4:00pm - Still nothing in Uchoshi where the Obol Athanors are concerned…. 2 hours left… 4:30pm - 1hr 30 minutes left. I really did find it right after he hit that stinkin button. I dislike these ones as its such a long time on one structure, if I had an idea of when it started I wouldn’t have to camp it the whole time. Usi - Moon 3 (Keroska Industries Limited) Found: 4/25 10:55pm Unanchored 4/28 4:33pm Structure: Athanor Sold:735,300,000 ISK Scooped: Drak'ma ---- Was watching Vladimars screen intently as its so close to popping. This one surprised me so I scooped it with Drak'ma and his Orca, instead of having Dexter reship to scoop it. 5 minutes later the CEO Kovandar Keroska arrived in system chat. I'm sure that he warped to where the station was and is looking around wondering wtf happened, maybe he things that unanchoring is broken and it keeps breaking his structures. This is the 2nd one I've gotten from him. Well that one for today, so its looking like a 4 Athanor day, which wont be too bad. ---- 5:13pm - Still nothing, we have about an hour left until the 7 days are up since we found it unanchoring. I really found it right after, like right f**kin after. Or, or they reset it. 5:30pm - Double checked when I found them. Time code starts at 6:10pm, we have 40 minutes left. 6:05pm - Still here, no sign of the owning corp, but the structures are still here, 5 minutes to go on our clock, they must have reset them… 6:10pm - Uchoshi - Obol Extraction U1-M8 is now past its scouting time and there is still no sign of the owning corp in system chat….They had to have reset them. Gah 4/29/2020 3:34pm - Back from work and nothing finished unanchoring, hopefully though something will pop tonight. I could really use it after the night last night. Wasted so much time to find out he had reset it. 9:14pm - Had everyone check their current systems again and systems one jump out, found 5 new unanchoring structures, 3 Athanors and a Raitaru. Perfect starting package for a beginner industrial organization. Maybe I should look into getting rid of my supply in other ways besides the market, though now that I think about it they will want a discount on it….probably not, never mind bad idea. 7 Omega clones to upkeep isn't light work, aye all they have to do is scoop 2 structures each (3 if one is the Raitaru; suckers are cheap) before they pay for themselves and start turning a profit. Yesterday I went out and got Drak'ma and Gendrath and Zaphire sets of Implants that will boost their align time and warp speed hopefully allowing them to land on grid before another orca or freighter in Zaphire's case. This whole operation can be seen as a race where milliseconds matter. Those implants cost us 789,900,000 ISK, the amount of an Athanor. Hopefully they will themselves off in the coming days. 10:56pm - Activity in Uchoshi, Ferris Echerie in connected to the system chat, He is the sole member of the corporation that owns the 3 Athanors that are overdue for popping. Tonight? Soon? 11:08pm - Uzhara connects to system chat. He is in the non-holding corporation of the Athanors. I wonder if he is going to follow Ferris around while in an orca to toss the stations into 11:11pm - Dizzhar Joins the others in system chat. Still no activity on grid with any of the structures 12:00am - Nothing yet on the Uchoshi pod, I swear if he is resetting them again…. Uchoshi - Obol Extraction U10M13 (Obol Holdings) Found: 4/21 6:14pm Unanchored 4/30 1:20am Structure: Athanor Sold: 685,200,000 ISK Scooped: Tiamat ---- Missed the first one U10M08 Due to a misclick…. They had a Harbinger and a Phantasm on grid with both of them, and I was too quick for anything, they even tried pre-ramming the structure right when it popped but I was still able to scoop it. Landed cloaked and ~2,300m from the compressed structure, I decloaked as I exited warp and scooped it, started warp and cloaked after it finished resetting so my only I should have gotten the first one… Gah! I'm fairly certain that they reset the unanchoring again as the 3 characters are sitting in U10M14. The structure info tab hasn’t flashed at all to indicate they stopped the unanchoring and then started it again. Whooo though, this scoop was decently intense, they set up correctly, they had defenders on grid, I was just too quick for them. Man I wonder what would be needed to prevent me from doing it besides misclicks and sleeping through the alarms. Good job to these guys for trying to defend it at least. This one makes for Tiamat's 2nd structure an concludes his Awaken and Upgrade cost. Anything else from his is profit on his part ---- 4/30/2020 1:43am - I feel like Ferris and the gang have reset the timer for U10M14 again, if they have though. Jokes on them! There is more stations unanchoring in the system now so Vlad or Tiamat are staying until they pop too. 9:06am - Just had Tiamat recheck the system he moved into for the next structure on the watch list. He found 7 new Athanors unanchoring all owned by the same corporation, EVE-Mogul, 7 Athanors have been alarmed and since they are all in the same system, man this is going to be an awesome weekend with the mass unanchoring!! Met another station reclaimer last night at the U10M14 Athanor that claimed to have one guy with an item in every structure in High-Security space. I doubt he really does or I wouldn’t have gotten some of the structures I have. 8:56pm - Nothing yet for today, no activity on any of the structures or systems. 5/1/2020 6:30am - Missed the Sotiyo, he had started it the same day as the structure changes but he started it before they went out… balls. 8:48am - EVE-Mogul activity in Inari 8:50am - Kilian Mintjens reached out to Gendrath and told him that they were planning on attacking the Azbel in Usi today. Nothing Gendrath said was able to convince them to not attack it and instead help out in scooping it. So that’s 2 big ticket items lost today… Hopefully it improves from there. Kulelen - KY Jelly (C - Holdings) Found: 4/25 10:53am Unanchored 4/25 11:45am Structure: Athanor Sold: 685,200,000 ISK Scooped: Shane ---- Came back from smoking to find that this one had popped. There was an unaffiliated Mammoth hauler slow boating towards it when Shane landed, Decloaked, Scooped, Cloaked and warped off. After he had docked up there was a mass disconnect man perfect timing. would hate to have been stuck outside of station in a suspect flagged ship that's carrying precious cargo ---- 11:54am - Bumblebee II of the Kulelen - The Second Coming (Raitaru) has connected to system chat, Shane got himself into position to find that the Unanchoring had stopped. 12:37pm - Drak'ma is jumping around looking for floaters while everyone else is camping pods. While in Audaerne he ran across an empty Dramiel that used to be owned by "God Emperor Kane" He was able to get his hauler into station and back out to grab the ship by taking the controls over. What a nice little surprise 1:01pm - OldTentSkin Hendar (Main CEO of Diaderi Azbel) connects to system chat, no activity on grid though. 1:10pm - Master Kush from the Amarr Border Patrol has just made his first scoop, right out from under someone too!! He got an Astrahus for his first scoop 2:45pm - Missed one that was a system over from a larger pod. 3:00pm - OldTentSkin disconnects from system chat Uchoshi - 11.15 USSR (Mining Production) Found: 4/27 10:27pm Unanchored: 5/1 3:06pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 685,200,000 ISK Scooped: Vladimar --- The owner Leha Makentosh connected to system chat a few minutes before it unanchored. Vladimar saw him dock up in a Tayra and undock then stop his ship so he would have to slow boat into it. Was able to get in and out before anyone, Slav305 later said in local " Vladimar Valkson o/ got there before me, dang. Jim says hi" Ha guess there is a group of people that do this already. ---- 5:56pm - Lord Nathan Hawkins from Oshaima - FOR SALE MSG SANSA HAWKINS showed up in local and I went to go check out the station, They are docked up in it, hopefully its coming out soon 6:30pm - Master Kush got his second one and it dropped its Mining Drill and a lot of Fuel he says 6:50pm - And then he came back from dinner to find another one had popped and no one was on grid! 10:38pm - I bet the closer to Connection Refresh time there will be more popping, I found 2 different clusters of 7 Unanchoring structures, 2 clusters of 4 Unanchoring structures. 2 Azbels, and then a pod of 2 and a single next to one I know for a fact is going to be a week from this morning at the least 11:17pm - CEO Anatoly Pasechnuy connected to local in Kulelen with Shane, had him check the target structure out and someone is docked, the CEO also just showed up in a capsule and docked 11:20pm - He grabbed a Heron with Core probes and stopped on undock. 11:23pm - Ana-ly Pasehnaya Undocks in a Worm Frigate 11:26pm - Both Warped off grid Faurent - North-northwest (Black and Rain) Found: 5/1 9:11pm Unanchored: 5/2 12:17am Structure: Athanor Sold: 685,200,000 ISK Scooped: Vladimar ------ No one on grid with this one, No indication about it. Was able to get to it and get all the mods that dropped with it Standup Reprocessing Facility I EST 31,100,066.49 ISK Standup Moon Drill I EST 132,742,023.08 ISK Standup Cloning Center I EST 238,445,090.34 ISK Which will be a very nice addition to the Athanor itself. This is Vladimars 2nd one and it had a bunch of extra loot to it. His Awaken and Upgrade cost is now recovered and anything more from him is profit on his part. Standup Reprocessing Facility I x1; 28,730,000 ISK Standup Cloning Center I x1: 232,300,000 ISK Standup moon Drill I x1; 110,900,000 ISK ----- Oshaima - The Clone Hole (Rebel Cloning Services) Found: 4/25 12:17pm Unanchored: 5/2 6:26am Structure: Astrahus Sold: 855,000,000 ISK Scooped: Shamus ---- Ha I actually woke up to the alarm this time!!! I missed a few because I cant hear the alarm when I sleep I guess, bad part about being a heavy sleeper I guess. Oh well I was able to get this into station and back out to the next perch with out any problems. There was no one on grid with this one and an Astrahus is the most expensive of the small structures, bonus. Though no matter how you break it down you still need 2 structures to break even with the clone upgrade fees. An Astrahus makes it so I only need a Raitaru to break even or if I get an Athanor I'll be in the profit with some left over after repaying the upgrade cost. ---- Balle - The Omega Way (Nascent Omega) Found: 5/1 10:59am Unanchored: 5/2 2:12pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 685,200,000 ISK Scooped: Zaphire ---- This guy was flying the same ship as we do, but flying it all wrong… He was hugging the structure instead of sitting out perched and cloaked up. I don't think he knew what he was doing. Grouse Tominaka is the pilot in question. He contacted Zaphire asking if she was the one that just stole his Athanor, she gave him her spiel on completing a work order and tried to get him to pay a reprocessing fee of 650mil, we bargained for a bit but could come to no conclusion as he didn’t have the necessary funds to pay the fee. He was humble about it though, and turned out to be the CEO in an alt, so I gave him and his corporation a couple of tips on what they could do better next time to prevent it from happening and bid them farewell. Hopefully their week will improve. ---- 4:17pm - Rownan Evingod arrives at Inari - Angry Dragon in a Tayra at the Perimeter of the Athanor Inari - Angry Dragon (Amish Technical Support) Found: 4/25 5:30am Unanchored: 5/2 4:24pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 685,300,000 ISK Scooped: Tiamat --- 4:17pm - Rownan Evingod and proceeds to camp at the ring of the structure, not knowing that it is going to unanchor 50km away from him. Tiamat was able to get the Athanor and the Standup Modules that he and left inside the thing! Standup Focused Warp Disruptor I EST 23,422,020.80 ISK Standup Multirole Missile Launcher I EST 34,263,871.88 ISK It's really sad seeing how many people don’t know the mechanics to the structures and how they unanchor. It'll be a big deal when I release the journal and they can finally understand what they are doing wrong and can improve themselves. Rownan Evingod > wow have to love nija loot a**holes Was all that was said before he disconnected from system chat. Side note: I didn't even realize that this was so close to the 7 day mark. Standup Focused Warp Disruptor I x 2; 45,800,000 ISK Standup Multirole Missile Launcher I x1; 39,540,000 ISK --- Week 3 4/26 - 5/2/2020 Athanor: [9] Astrahus: [1] Dexter: [1] Gendrath: [1] Drak'ma: [1] Tiamat: [2] Shane: [1] Vladimar: [2] Zaphire: [1] Shamus: [1] Man what a week it has been, sadly I missed the Sotiyo and the Azbel was attacked so my two big ticket items that I spotted at the end of last week were both duds. This flood is going just as I expected it. I am seeing massive amounts of unanchoring structures and am trying to scoop as many as I can. Master Kush has joined me and is patrolling the other side of the universe and is pulling in some decent numbers. These were structures I would have missed anyways so I am glad he is able to snag them. We had a few interesting run ins this week. A humble mark that had fallen on some rough times in the weird world we find ourselves in, I hope everything improves for him. Haven't taken any of the new ones from the flood to market so I have no numbers at the moment besides estimates Previous Week: 7,642,610,000 ISK Week Total: 7,639,145,000 ISK Week Expenses: 789,900,000 ISK Total Income: 20,675,518,750 ISK Total Expenses: 10,120,636,700 ISK Total Profit: 10,554,882,050 ISK Week 4 - Feeding Frenzy 5/3 - 5/10/2020 Oshaima - Black Site Alpha (Apocalypse Holdings Incorporated) Found: 4/29 7:51pm Unanchored: 5/3 3:25pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 685,300,000 ISK Scooped: Shamus ---- Sadly I missed their Raitaru, I was sleeping and they were set up right, glad I woke up to the alarm and was able to scoop this one though. The CEO was on grid in a badger but he was at exactly 150km and didn’t have any play room to get speed up. Made it into station without a fuss and the CEO just disconnected from system chat without saying anything. This one finishes off my Clone Upgrade costs and anything else will continue my profits. ---- 5/3/2020 10:41am - Anatoly Pasechnuy shows up on grid in a Crane on the perimeter of the Athanor, Skinnyminer showed up in an Orca, he isn't part of the Corp but was a member back in 2017 10:48am - ShieldAndSword shows up in a Raven Kulelen - AELP Bur (Academy ELP) Found: 4/29 7:02pm Unanchored: 5/3 10:55am Structure: Athanor Sold: 685,200,000 ISK Scooped: Shane ----- With Anatoly Pasechnuy showing up on grid in a Crane and then shortly followed by ShieldAndSword who released their drones to prep, I was hovering over the controls ready to engage warp and prep the scoop. It was kind of sad that they were just sitting there waiting for it to unanchor and not knowing the mechanics behind it. It popped out a Hanger Container that I risked the biscuit for and was able to land on grid at the same time as Anatoly who warped to station and back to it. I snagged 1,551 Standup Cruise Missiles, Est value is only 15mil extra but hey extra is extra. ShieldAndSword messaged in System Chat that he wishes the worst for Shane and hopes he burns in hell. Shane told him it'd be an improvement and would be warmer than where he was, like really, space is cold and ya can't run the heaters all the time when cloaking. This one finishes Shane's Upgrade Cost and anything else will be profit or future upgrades. ----- Kulelen - Jin'taan (Farscape Deepspace Initiative) Found: 4/29 7:06pm Unanchored 5/3 1:45pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 650,000,000 ISK Scooped: Shane ---- There was an unaffiliated Tayra on field piloted by Artie Katelo, from the looks of it he was part of the Alliance that the owning corporation was with. He was slow boating from the perimeter when it popped and Shane landed on grid. He said it popped out a Hanger container as well and he was able to drop the Athanor in a neighboring freeport that was a quick 2s warp and he was able to return and get the Standup Moon Drill which goes for around 110mil. This one is pure profit on Shanes account. Artie got in touch with Shane asking if there was any way they could get the Athanor and Drill back, he told them 700,000,000 for Cleaning and Impound fees. Apparently the owner went afk and asked an alliance member to scoop it up for him. Well it seems the owner might be asleep, I gave Artie some tips and told him I would be keeping the structure. Standup Moon Drill I x 1; 110,900,000 ISK ---- 1:45pm - Martens Rin from Oisio - Wieliczka connects to System chat, no activity on grid with the structure, I also remember seeing the founder a few systems away earlier in the day. Didn’t make a note of it though. 2:54pm - OldTentSkin Hendar connects to Diaderi System Chat, the Azbel there is within 4 hours of 7 days since discovery. Hopefully he didn’t reset it… 3:28pm - Both TCMs are still in systems and there is still no activity on their respective grids 3:30pm - OldTentSkin Hendar disconnects from system chat, 3 hours to go. Did he just restart it? 3:57pm - Mogul Holdings activity. Took all the stations away from the public, no longer public docking access. Hopefully this means that it will be later today and not that he reset them… 7:56pm - the Lives group connected to Ambeke System chat and were active for a bit. I saw that they have a battleship flown by Knives Lives who is actually not a member of the Corp but I'm going to assume he is the main clone of the Lives group (Fork lives, Plate Lives, Spatula Lives) he seems to be the oldest out of the bunch. Waira - EVE-Mogul Trade Post (Yeti Excavation Services) Found: 5/1 4:30pm Unanchored: 5/3 8:03pm Structure: Azbel Sold: 4,100,000,000 ISK Scooped: Drak'ma ---- Man this was the first medium structure we were actually in front of the screens for. I was actually paying attention to the other screens when this one went off and I got the asset safety notification. Frenzy mode ensued, as I decloaked and started the maneuver. Out of the corner of my eye I see a freighter on grid, I'm just praying I land before it does and am able to warp away before anything can happen. While I'm in warp I get the notification of the Athanor in system popping so instead of jumping the Orca to a station I warp directly to the perch of the Athanor, freshly as a suspect. ---- Waira - VIII-02 PENDING SALE (Yeti Excavation Services) Found: 5/1 4:32pm Unanchored: 5/3 8:04pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 600,000,000 ISK Scooped: Drak'ma ---- So here I am in an Orca already suspect status and landing on the perch for the Athanor, Grid is clear. If I'm going I'm going now, I don’t even let the ship finish spooling down from its previous warp before I'm engaging it again towards the compressed Athanor. Success! Now time to dock, yet another Warp engaged before the ship could spool all the way down. Glad these Industrial command ships can take the heat, because man if this was a normal ship I'm sure I would have burnt out the drive and stranded myself. The Freighter Pilot: Gallente Citizen 93684819 reached out in the System chat to congratulate Drak'ma on a job well done, he wasn’t worried if he could get it or not, he just didn’t want it to burn in the coming months. Drak'ma told him that she will be well taken care of. ---- Irjunen - II-2 (Mogul Holdings) Found: 4/30 9:30am Unanchored: 5/3 8:10pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 600,000,000 ISK Scooped: Tiamat ----- Not five minutes after Drak'ma had completed his scoops, Tiamat got hit with a frenzy, First Irjunen popped which was a system over from where he was stationed. He made it through the gate and onto the structure in time and was able to nab it. While dropping it off and returning to his staging system, alarms started to go off left and right. The pod had popped. ---- Inari - IX-08 EVE-Mogul (Mogul Holdings) Found: 4/30 8:39pm Unanchored: 5/3 8:16pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 600,000,000 ISK Scooped: Tiamat ---- This was the first one that I warped to and scooped, there was a hauler on grid with it and the pilot was Sir kumquat, he was on top of it but unable to scoop it he said after I scooped it from under him and headed to drop off, there were more to be had. 1/7 ---- Inari - X-02 EVE-Mogul (Mogul Holdings) Found: 4/30 8:40pm Unanchored: 5/3 8:16pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 683,700,000 ISK Scooped: Tiamat ---- Feeding frenzy time!!! The dude scheduled them all for the same exact time!!! 2/7 ---- Inari - VII-13 EVE-Mogul (Mogul Holdings) Found: 4/30 8:41pm Unanchored: 5/3 8:16pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 610,000,000 ISK Scooped: Tiamat ---- Not even Docking at this point, warping back and forth from another structure to the unanchored Athanors, gotta be quick! Go, Go, Go, Go, Go! 3/7 ---- Inari - VII-24 EVE-Mogul (Mogul Holdings) Found: 4/30 8:42pm Unanchored: 5/3 8:16pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 600,000,000 ISK Scooped: Tiamat ---- COME ON, LETS GOOOO!!!!!! 4/7 ---- Inari - VII-02 EVE-Mogul (Mogul Holdings) Found: 4/30 8:42pm Unanchored: 5/3 8:16pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 600,000,000 ISK Scooped: Tiamat ---- Met up with Sir Kumquat again at this one and was able to scoop it from under him again, he waved in System chat and warped off. Saying that upwell is bugging out and he was getting "Item is invulnerable" when he tried to scoop it. Said he was going to talk with the Upwell guys about it and see if they will replace any of the Athanors he just lost. 5/7 ----- Inari - VIII-01 EVE-Mogul (Mogul Holdings) Found: 4/30 8:42pm Unanchored: 5/3 8:16pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 600,000,000 ISK Scooped: Tiamat ---- Ran into another hauler at this one, Katharine Fletcher, they landed on grid a little bit after I was already landed and scooping. Again they called out in System chat and said nice job. Still one left to go! As Katharine says "All but the one I got, nice job though" and it was like oooh damn, so close to a perfect pod. Man what a rush, I skipped over the shakes part and went straight to shock, I really couldn’t believe that I had just scooped 9 structures in the last 20 minutes. In total the appraisal value is 9.6 billion on this pod alone, that’s not including what has already been scooped so far for this week, or for the weekend in total. Man what a Sunday, and way to start the new week off. Man this one is a record breaker for me 6/7 ---- 5/3/2020 8:30pm - Jim Halescott invites Tiamat to a convo about the Thieves guild. He had witnessed what just happened and he was multi-cloned as Katharine so he witnessed it too. Looks like the Valkson clan just got an ****** into it. We will see what they are really about and if its something. I've read a few articles here and there that mention the Thieves guild. 11:36pm - Lillianth Stellarum Connects to Colelie System chat. CEO and owner of the Colelie - Solace Athanor. He is flying a Mastadon with Symbols as its name, Hopefully he isn't here to strip the Athanor down to its bones, extra goodies are always nice. 11:58pm - As we crest midnight I just wanted to write down and say; Man what a amazing day, new personal record for me with scoops in a day: 12, and most scoops in an hour: 9. If this is just the start of the week, I can't wait to see where this flood is going Uttindar - Drill 1 (Celestial Holdings) Found: 5/2 6:47pm Unanchored 5/4 2:36pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 600,000,000 ISK Scooped: Zaphire ---- Came in from doing some yard work and this one popped while resting for a bit. Took a moment for the system to click but luckily there wasn’t anyone on grid or with the corp in system so this one was an easy snag. Does this mean that Drill 2 will be popping shortly? ---- 5/4/2020 2:30 - 3:57pm - Lives group is active in Ambeke, Knives Lives has flown a Harbinger around and Zuric Bane just landed in a Maelstrom and he is part of Knives Lives corp Lightning Squad. 4:00pm - Lillianth Stellarum connects to Colelie System chat 4:30pm - Lillianth just disconnected in her station in Colelie, I didn’t see her leave unless I missed it. The Lives group are all sitting in their T2 Reproc station that isnt unanchoring sadly 5:11pm - Knives Lives undocks in a Badger named Badger MWD+Cloak Car and jumps to Olettiers 5:31pm - Lives group Disconnects while in Lighting T2 Reprocessing Athanor 7:54pm - Knives Lives connects to system chat Diaderi - Limp Vulture (Kulhavy sup) Found: 4/25 6:30pm Unanchored: 5/5 1:58pm Structure: Azbel Sold: 4,250,000,000 ISK Scooped: Gendrath ---- Man I had just returned from doing a delivery drive and found that this one had popped, instant rush and shakes. OldTentSkin Hendar had a Freighter on grid but wasn’t on top of the structure yet. I was able to land and scoop it and then I foolishly spent a lot more time then needed to grab the extra loot that dropped from it, which was a lot so I would need to go drop off and return for the leftovers.

Gendrath told him to get in touch if he is ever in need of our services. Standup Variable Spectrum ECM I x1; 22,970,000 ISK ---- Faurent - Ishval (The Suicide Queens) Found: 5/1 8:45pm Unanchored: 5/5 2:11pm Structure: Raitaru Sold: 506,000,000 ISK Scooped: Vladimar ---- This one when off while Gendrath was talking with OldTentSkin. Vladimar was able to scoop it drop it then return for the hanger container that popped out next to it. Surprisingly Vladimar was able to nab the extra loot which happened to be a Standup Clone Bay and some Fuel. Not cheap things to leave in a structure that is unanchoring.

I wonder what the plan/thinking was on this, and the fact they forgot about them. Oh well, that’s another abandoned structure saved from the abyss of space ---- 5/6/2020 11:44pm - With Zaphire scooping the 2nd one out of that pod and finishing it off I had her start to bring in stations to market, man I feel for her. So many stations and to be safe she can only take one at a time. Man that’s so many jumps back and forth, like Tiamats pod of 7. Ambeke - VII - 16 (Fork Lives Ltd.) Found: 5/2 4:20pm Unanchored 5/7 11:22am Structure: Athanor Sold: 600,000,000 ISK Scooped: Shane ---- Was able to scoop this one right before the owner was, getting a little hectic with so many different systems being watched I lost time looking for the right camper. And also told him to dock instead of just drop and warp to the next one. ---- Ambeke - Kniveslives Ltd. IX - 2 (Fork Lives Ltd.) Found: 5/2 4:22pm Unanchored: 5/7 11:23am Structure: Athanor Sold: 600,000,000 ISK Scooped: Vladimar ---- Was only able to get the 2 structures out of this pod sadly, the dock and wasted time accounted for it sadly. Watched him scoop up the last one right as I landed at the perch for it. Sad day, 2/4 still isnt bad though. ----- Eifer - 5-13 (The Ivana Trading Federation) Found: 5/6 12:33pm Unanchored: 5/8 6:07pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 600,000,000 ISK Scooped: Vladimar ----- Some unaffiliated Mastadon jumped to the structure a few minutes before it popped and showed up after I had scooped it and was warping away. This one was actually in a ls system so I was a little more nervous about scooping it. Still nervous about getting it out of system now. ----- 5/8/2020 7:00pm - Messed around with the clone simulator today and found out about the Nomad implants that increase the controlled ships align time. We were able to get the Crane down to 2.95s align time so we cut a second off of it. Cost: 6,941,140,000 ISK to kit everyone out 5/9/2020 9:37pm - Had a random one pop in a system I was watching, I think I'm getting a little slack on my scouting in a system. Kinda mad at myself. End of Week Athanor: [16] Azbel: [2] Raitaru: [1] Astrahus: [1] Shamus: [2] Shane: [3] Drak'ma: [2] Tiamat: [7] Zaphire: [2] Gendrath: [1] Vladimar: [3] Man oh man, what a week this was. 20 structures is just insane! Trouble will be selling them now. The market for Athanors is dropping steadily and prices right now are almost 200mil lower than where I started at…Kind of peeved at that. Met some cool pilots this week and had some interesting conversations. I've ran across 4 or so other reclaimers this week. Pretty sure its not as niche as I thought it was originally. With the implant upgrades this week I believe we wont have to have any more expenses / upgrades in the future. I can see some ship losses but we shouldn’t ever lose our pods. Previous Week: 7,639,145,000 ISK Week Total: 20,254,201,393 ISK Week Expenses: 7,147,140,000 ISK Total Income: 40,929,720,143 ISK Total Expenses: 17,267,776,700 ISK Total Profit: 23,661,943,443 ISK Week 5 - Slow Start 5/10/2020 8:31pm - Totallity from Atgur - Thrillin to be drillin 1 has been online for the last 8+ hours and has been periodically aligning to the structure in a wreathe from 65-67,000km out and off of grid. Was able to pin his location down to a 15 degree angle and within that range. Warping back and forth once I found that area I was able to land on grid with the Wreathe. Turned out to be Fence Aldeland; another thief, We chatted for a bit and it turns out that I beat him to a structure a few days ago, couldn’t remember where exactly. This week I've seen more scoopers than I had previously. This gameplay might not last much longer and I think I might move up the time table of the journal. Going to think on this the next week and see if there is anything else that reinforces the idea. 5/11/2020 Sadly I missed one in the morning around 7am by seconds, I was sleeping and woke up the alarm for it but I read the notification instead of just looking at the screens and going from there. Lost it to another scooper in a t1 industrial, it was only a Raitaru though so not that big of a loss, but still a loss. 5/12/2020 3:08am - Seems to be slowing down a little bit but I have an Azbel, Fortizar, 9 Athanors and 3 Raitaus on the list at the moment, I'm hoping a few of the Athanors pop today, there are a few that are on the 7th day from when I found them so it should be… 5:20am - Missed an Athanor due to reading, wasn’t looking at the screens and I forgot to alarm that one it would seem… Thiarer - RC 2 (Rogue Clones) Found: 5/8 9:30pm Unanchored 5/12 10:44am Structure: Athanor Sold: 600,000,000 ISK Scooped: Vladimar ---- Man its about time I got one, I have been missing them the last few days and honestly it was starting to get on my nerves. The owner Madame Zoey Hummblaster was on grid in a mastadon about 15km away from the container when it popped. Was about to scoop the structure, drop it off and come back for the hangar container that popped. Was able to snag the moon mining drill out of it so woot extra loot at least. Madame Zoey asked to buy it back in local for 200 mil, HA, told her 700 for the structure and drill ---- 11:30am - OldTentSkin sets up perches for his Azbel and Fortizar in Cheslette 11:34am - OldTentSkin leaves system. At least he learned from the last Azbel I took from him. Wonder if ill be able to snag these ones as well. Will feel kinda bad though. Like 1/9999 bad. 2:10pm - OldTentSkin cloaks perched in an orca should be soon :) fortizar fist Chesiette - Market and Clone (Kulhavy sup) Found: 5/10 1:55am Unanchored: 5/12 2:38pm Structure: Frotizar Sold: 8,412,365,000 ISK Scooped: Zaphire ---- With seeing OldTentSkin and his multiclone set up their Orcas I was hovering at the controls, never knew I could sweat so much from sitting still not moving. Bam it popped and im already decloaked and cycling that microwarp drive. There was an obelisk that just undocked from it and is 12 km away from it, no worries from that dude, gotta be quicker than ol'tent skin bahaha! Bing, the Azbel on grid goes off as well. Confirmation of scoop! Cycle MWD and WARP! Send in the docking request while we are warping!!!! Switch Controls!! ----- Chesiette - ALL 0,1% Tax (Kulhavy sup) Found: 5/10 1:55am Unanchored: 5/12 2:38pm Structure: Azbel Sold: 3,900,000,000 ISK Scooped: Shamus ---- DECLOAK, CYCLE MWD, WARP!!!! OldTentSkin's multiclone had already decloaked so I could only assume he was already spooling up his warp drive to warp to the structure…..Disengaging Warp!, SCOOP!!!! Confirmation of scoop; the ships blares as the suspect tag lights up the Orca. CYCLE MWD AND WARP!!!! Send the docking request! Man what a rush! Super shakes from this pair dear god, 12+bil out of two structures is awesome! Both Zaphire and Shamus were able to scoop and make it into dock safely with their oh so valuable eggs. Man this makes up for all those that we have missed the last few days. --Sold the Fortizar and Azbel to Sam Harris. Sent the history along with them. ---- Salashayama - Spies United (Cosmic Logistics Ltd.) Found: 5/11 8:30pm Unanchored: 5/12 3:04pm Structure: Raitaru Sold: 506,000,000 ISK Scooped: Dexter ---- Man I had stepped out for a quick smoke after scooping the two medium structures and I come back to find that this one had popped. Dexter was a system over in between two Raitarus in different systems, wasn’t too sure I'd get this one but I warped into an empty grid and was able to scoop it. There was a member in system Aura Marus, but they werent on grid, they are in the station that Dexter docked at afterwards. No remarks in local and they disconnected shortly after. ---- Emolgranlan - 1318 (ammar Corporation) Found: 5/5 7:16pm Unanchored: 5/12 3:38pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 683,600,000 ISK Scooped: Drak'ma --- No one on grid or in System chat that belongs to the corp. No comments in local about it or anything. There is a current Triglavian invasion going on in the system so I was worried they were going to reset it to avoid the trigs. Glad I was wrong, this one was just a quick one. ---- Emolgranlan - kaluga (ammar Corporation) Found: 5/5 7:26pm Unanchored: 5/12 3:41pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 683,700,000 ISK Scooped: Tiamat ---- Again, no one on grid or in system that belongs to the owning corp. I am going to consider these ones fully abandoned. I was able to drop the station and return for the measly 357 Nitrogen Fuel Blocks that dropped out of this structure. No Incidents to report. ---- 4:16pm - Wow, today has been phenomenal so far 5/13/2020 5:00am - Just completed daily disconnection, and I had just found an Azbel too. Man after such a great Tuesday too. Uchoshi - Obol Extraction U10M14 (Obol Holdings) Found: 4/13 10:25pm Unanchored: 5/13 5:58pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 665,000,000 ISK Scooped: Tiamat --- Man what luck with this one, I had all but written it off and just been putting eyes on it when I don’t have others on the list to watch. Glad that Tiamat was on it. This is #3 from this corp, and they are the ones that suicided me and failed. Hahaha ---- 5/13/2020 10:30pm - Nothing really exciting has happened so far. I did find a steal of a contract earlier, they wanted 75mil for a fitted myrmidon with 2 Gecko drones. Total price of the ship is 516mil, If I cut it up and sell it ill get 427,862,966 ISK because of the rig loss. Started posting the structures and extra loot on the market. Been using a couple trading chat networks and was able to get one of the Azbels sold through it. 5/14 5:20am - 1:51 pm Armour Gedon Dustman Dian Dusty Andrard Dusty Aurgnet Edit Saw Jydeinden Augrnet Lifbehv Hezserc MAACH Re-Dial XenonL Zero--Cool All belong to the Lari pod and have been mining the moon belt on "The Rent is Too Damn High" Janus - Freedom Factory (M19 Inc) Found: 5/10 12:37am Unanchored 5/15 2:10am Structure: Raitaru Sold: 400,000,000 ISK Scooped: Shane ---- Woke up to the alarm going off on this one. There was 2 other people on grid with Shane when it popped, the Ceo and an unaffiliated Tayra, I was able to land and scoop before the others were, it did pop out a hangar container but when I opened it, it was empty so off I went with the Raitaru. Kinda glad I camped the Raitaru as I had a contact tell me he is looking for one. Hopefully ill be able to quick sell this one ----- 5/15/2020 11:37am - I have managed to liquidate most of the reclaimed structures over the last few days, was able to get in touch with a gent I will call "The Fence" as he bought a large amount of them off of me. Looking forward to working with him some more. Lari - Conglomerate Assembly (Conglomeration Nation) Found: 5/13 4:59pm Unanchored 5/16 6:35am Structure: Azbel Sold: 3,600,000,000 ISK Scooped: Tiamat ---- There were 2 corp members on grid with this one when it popped.

Was able to snag this one but there was a Hecate on grid that tried to lock me up, was able to warp off safely with it and dock up. ---- Thiarer - Ossi No.1 (Ossi Mining Corporation) - Caught & Ship Destroyed. First Found: 5/9 9:52pm Unanchored: 5/16 6:50am Structure: Athanor Sold: NULL Scooped: Vladimar - Lost ---- Saw the Hecate and the CEO warp in on this one and dock up then undock and stop. Once it popped I started the maneuver but was caught by the Hecate. Being the greedy little goblin that I am I decided to have gendrath come in and scoop the jetcanned athanor. Sadly forgot that Vladimar was going full speed away instead of standing still so when Gendrath warped to him he landed 6,000m away and missed it. The Hecate destroyed Vladimars Crane and while I was getting the pod out, caught gendrath because he was still suspect…. 2 losses for 2 athanors. And for the first time, I've been caught. Good job Kyomi Tarog, you’re the first. 202mil for ship replacement 404mil total So for next time, if caught, don’t move xD and if no back up is available, just let the loot fairy decide. Or align out and then scoop when there is defense on grid ---- Vahunomi - Floater Notification: 5/17 12:40am Structure: Athanor Sold: 630,000,000 ISK Scooped: Tiamat ---- Got a notification from Jim that this one might be floating.

I was also able to sell of all of my stock of structures except for the last 2 I scooped last night.

One of them had been warping around the system trying to pin down where Dexter was. He was able to eventually land on grid with him. She asked what I was doing; told her I was waiting for pirate sites to be discovered so I could clear them. I asked what she was doing and she replied with: recon. After the scoop she said in local: Darn yer quick Hahaha difference between a pro and someone just starting out ----- Lari - It's a damn shame (Rent Too Damn High LLC) Found: 5/13 5:40am Unanchored: 5/17 9:22pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 630,000,000 ISK Scooped: Zaphire ---- Sadly missed the first one by seconds, landed on grid with the ceo in an iteron.

Panicked a bit and didn’t decloak when I was landing so my ship started to approach the can to decloak itself, wasted a few seconds on that but was still able to scoop it and drop it in a station. Didn’t waste time docking this time. 1/3 ----- Otela - Access 3.19 Private DBV (All Access) Found: 5/17 12:26 Unanchored: 5/22 6:43pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 630,000,000 ISK Scooped: Drak'ma ---- Saw that there were people docked at this one so I camped it instead of the other structure that they had unanchoring. They sat inside it until it popped and it kicked them out 7,000m away from the container. Was able to get on grid and scoop it before they were able to maneuver their ships. I think they were still in the loading screen from being kicked out of the structure. Scooped and dropped and set up on the next structure. 2/3 ---- Otela - V - 22 (Blades of Aiur) Found: 5/17 12:05am Unanchored: 5/22 6:58pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 630,000,000 ISK Scooped: Drak'ma ---- Again they were all docked up at this one when it popped. This time there were catalysts that popped out too, thought they were going to lock me up and warp scramble me. They didn’t even have time to lock me up before I was already warping off of grid. Man these guys must not have known what they were doing. 3/3 that I was present for ---- 5/21/2020 11:00pm - Start to see Joy Jaynara of Oishami pod warp around in a charon from station to station that is unanchoring. 3 stations so far, don’t know if they are stipping or not. The azbel is now in low power mode so maybe. Hopefully, it comes out tonight. 11:16pm - Made it through the list and she warped back and docked at Oishami - Delta, Wonder if that’s the one that’s going to pop first Nonni - Notification Notified: 5/22 11:22pm Structure: Astrahus Sold: 805,000,000 ISK Scooped: Drak'ma ---- Arrived in system within D-Scan range of the athanor so it was a straight warp to. Landed on grid with Nys'ves Chedyn Kuaughgar on grid in a shuttle. Scooped it right in front of them and warped away. This one makes 17 today so far. Whoo what a day. ---- 5/23/2020 Woke up after dt and discovered that I missed 5 structures including an azbel and vladimar had been popped. Don’t know how he decloaked, but lost the orca and his pod. 2.2bil loss along with 9bil flying away. Man little salty with myself. I didn’t turn the volume up on the alarm system. Damn it man. Literally nothing else all day though, we got 2 notifications but they were gone by the time we raced to them. Slow a** day, I wonder if people are changing to week day unanchorings, Friday was insane though, so I don’t know. End of week Astrahus: [3] Athanor: [7] Azbel: [1] Raitaru: [19] Wasn’t able to keep track of everyones scores during the rush so this week was null for that Man, I know I've been saying it every week but man what a week! A 30 structure total week! That’s a record breaker so far! Surprisingly it didn’t beat last weeks ISK value. All those large structure last week made a huge difference. But out of the guilds I got the most out of everyone when it came to the Perch Pod. Man what a rush, having everyone close enough rush on the structures. Previous Week Total: 22,085,665,000 ISK Week Total: 18,655,000,000‬ ISK Week Expenses: 2,200,000,000 ISK Total Income: 81,670,385,143‬ ISK Total Expenses: 20,073,776,700 ISK Total Profit: 61,596,608,443‬ ISK Week 7 - The Masses go critical Khanid Prime - Notification Notified: 5/24 12:58am Jumps: 13 Structure: Raitaru Sold: 430,000,000 ISK Scooped: Shamus ---- Man, didn’t think id get this one, being 13 jumps out. Landed in system and it wasn’t on my Directional Scanner, looked over the systems overlay sensor and didn’t see it either. Thought I missed it until I opened the system map browser and started hovering over structures outside my d-scan range. Got lucky and it was the first one I hovered over. Warp straight to it please, scoop and dock. Sweet. ---- Pulin - Notification Notified: 5/24 1:52am [10 min old ping] Scooped: 5/24 2:08am Jumps: 14 Structure: Athanor Sold: 630,000,000 ISK Scooped: Drak'ma ---- Got 2 pings at once for two different systems, they happened to be 4 jumps from each other, checked Aurcel and didn’t find anything. Arrived in Pulin and was surprised to see that there was still an unanchored structure on the System Overlay. Warped straight to it and landed on grid with a Hangar Container, grabbed the compressed Athanor and checked the container; it held a drill. Quickly picked the first public structure to drop the Athanor into and return for the drill. Was able to get the corporation from the can and then went and scouted the other structures in system owned by them. Not unanchoring it looks like. ---- 5/24/2020 8:27am - Woke up to mulitiple alarms going off; The Kabbalah wave had just hit. The rush was on and there wasn’t much time. First batch happened to be Niarja Niarja - CosaNostra Madimilire - Astrahus - Shamus Niarja - CosaNostra Kaaputenen - Astrahus - Shamus Niarja - Madir-2 - Astrahus - Shamus Ikao - CosaNostra - Astrahus - Shamus Uedama - CosaNostra - Astrahus - Shamus Sivala - CosaNostra - Astrahus - Shamus Urlen - CosaNostra - Astrahus - Shamus Urlen - Astrahus - Shamus Litiura - CosaNostra - Astrahus Uemisaisen - CosaNostra - Astrahus Ebidan - Astrahus - Zaphire Joramok - Raitaru - Shamus Uadelah - Astrahus - Gendrath Esecama - Astrahus - Zaphire Choonka - Astrahus - Gendrath Grinacanne - Astrahus - Drak'ma Mormoen - Raitaru - Drak'ma Astrahus sold @ 805,000,000 ISK Raitaru sold @ 430,000,000 ISK ---- Man what a rush this was! Apparently in total there was 27 of these unanchoring according to the different Thieves Guilds. I got the most out of the Thieves with 15, the two Riatarus arent part of the bunch but I randomly ran across one on my way to snag one of the Astrahus' Oishami - Radium (Xaxo Heavy Industries) Found: 5/18 11:32pm Unanchored 5/24 9:07am Structure: Athanor Sold: 630,000,000 ISK Scooped: Shane ---- Was able to scoop this one out from under the owners apparently. They were in an unaffiliated corporation. I ended up dropping it off in their local public Sotiyo, off to the next one I go. ---- Oishami - Uranium (Xaxo Heavy Industries) Found: 5/18 11:38pm Unanchored: 5/24 9:14am Structure: Athanor Sold: 630,000,000 ISK Scooped: Shane --- Beat them again and then dropped it off in their Sotiyo again. ---- Oishami - Ytterbium (Xaxo Heavy Industries) Found: 5/18 11:42pm Unanchored: 5/24 9:24am Structure: Athanor Sold: 630,000,000 ISK Scooped: Shane ---- They tried to get a tackler on grid with me on this one. They docked up and got spit out by the unanchoring, I don’t even think their screens had loaded yet when I scooped it and warped off grid to drop it off at the Neutral Public Corporation station. Had to move the structures out of their sotiyo as fast as I can before they revoke public access. Hahaha these guys had no idea what they were doing. I was asked a few times if I could just "give them back" but these guys wouldn’t pay the impound fee. ---- I got another Ritaru after this pod, still in shock from the previous rush, I couldn’t sit still and ended up putting off the write ups until the next day, man 5/24 was such a profitable and amazing day! 22 Structures in one day! MAN! WHAT A RUSH IT WAS! Personal Record Update: 22 Structures in one day! 5/25/2020 3:44pm - Time to start moving all the structures to market, man this is going to take a while. Jarshitsan - Notification Notified: 5/25 9:33pm Scooped: 5/25 9:45pm Structure: Astrahus Jumps: 13 Sold: 805,000,000 ISK Scooped: Shane ---- Surprised I made it to this one, dropped it off and went back to the can to see if I could get intel on if he had any other structures unanchoring, and wouldn’t ya know it the owner was there in his Occator. ---- Nakugard - ROGERS INDUSTRY FORTRESS (Deutsche Vulkan) Found: Unanchored: 5/26 6:31am Structure: Azbel Sold: 3,660,000,000 ISK Scooped: Gendrath ---- Woke up to this ping and shot out of bed, I had seen a corp member online after reconnecting everyone. The dude was in a freighter and was still spooling up his warp drive as I landed and scooped the structure, it popped out a hangar container with a Standup Manufacturing Plant I and some fuel blocks EST extra is 174mil ---- 5/26/2020 9:49am - So the last few days I have been watching streams of other pilots and being generally more engaged in the immortal community. I have sparked others interests in what I do and am prepping them for this journal. Master Kush being the combat focused pirate that he is has come up with a few different fits that we can use to catch others and pop them if they don’t surrender their scoop. Hahaha he is a mad man with a brilliant mind. I have also been working with the different Thieves guilds, apparently there are two, one ran by a gent name Onzo and another by Jim. Jim's was the first I was invited to and Onzo is one I found through Jim's apparently it was one he started and then left but they wouldn’t accept him back in the same capacity or something so he started a new one. I have been chatting with them more than working with them but I have been giving them a few tips and ideas to see what they do with it. The last few floods have mostly been sold off but when they first hit market I showed everyone my pull count, which had the effect I desired. They got serious. They are using teamwork and scouting whole regions of High Security space and HS islands found in Low Sec. I can imagine the true potential of a organized thieves guild. If done right there wont ever be a successful unanchoring by an owner. If they want to successfully get their structure back they are going to have to be increasingly thrifty and creative, or get in touch with the guild to arrange for a reclamation work order. 5/27/2020 Tsuruma - Apple Pie (Wreckers Of Pie) Found: 5/26 8:14pm Unanchored: 5/27 4:34pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 630,000,000 ISK Scooped: Tiamat --- I scouted the neighboring systems yesterday and found a couple, this was one of them and it was next door to were I have been camping lately, was able to get there and scoop it really quick and get back on my camping, still one of the best ways to do it I think, allows for a larger watch area, sadly those are still "chase" pings and are more susceptible to loss. Still though, good rush from getting them. I had been napping when this one went off, had me up and out of sleep in seconds. ---- Palas - Engineering ******** (Linkou Corporation) Found: 5/28 2:09am Unanchored: 5/28 6:28am Structure: Athanor Sold: 630,000,000 ISK Scooped: Dexter ---- Warped to the perch on this one to find the owner on grid slow boating to it. Scooped and dropped then warped to the perch to the next one, big mistake there, should have used the map or overview to warp straight to it, I would have gotten the second one as well ---- 5/28/2020 11:35pm - Man its been an intersting day. Watched a lot of activity on grid with one of the Azbels. Got called in on a recovery mission for a forgotten hangar container, found it right as the owner showed up to start grabbing them. He left after I grab a bit then came back in Ser who called in the work order. Made EST 172mil out of it and showed off the skills a bit. Man it was fun though. For some reason his D-Scan said he was within 10k of it but It still wasn’t showing up on his overview 5/29/2020 9:56pm - Man we got teased all night last night to the point of exhaustion and complacency. I miss one that had a hugger on it which I shouldn’t have missed, he showed up hours early so I started to read up on news articles and then Ping! It goes off, I warp to it and by the time I land its already scooped. I sat there 3,000m from the owner cloaked and just watched him warp away. He must have had a MWD or AB going when it popped so he was going faster than other huggers / slow boaters. Little salty I didn’t see this one pop out of the corner of my eye Next came the Azbel; Agast and I had watched these guys set up a whole bunch of different perches and then cloak up on grid. We though it would be soon during their usual activity time. We waited through the ConCord stasis period and came back fully expecting it to pop. It was 5 hours later that it finally popped…. I had long succumbed to slumber at that point. Man again with the limits of the human body. I woke up to the notification and wasn’t ready at all, I warped to it but before I fully entered warp they had scooped it. I landed next to the hangar container that popped out and viewed the contents then accidently hit warp instead of align and off I went with no loot or anything. Man what a bummer today has been. Kulelen - HAWK (Xaxo Heavy Industries) Found: (Forgot to note) Unanchored: 5/30 12:10am Structure: Azbel Sold: 3,650,000,000 ISK Scooped: Vladimar & Agast Paid: Agast; 1,095,000,000 ISK --- Man this one was f**king intense. They brought a defense fleet to guard the structure. Saw them bring in an obelisk when I woke up this morning, next thing I know there is a bunch of people on grid. I looked at what was there and decided, yeah, I'm going to need some backup on this one. Sent out a request in the Thieves guild and Agast was 8j away with an orca from when we missed Tar. He made haste towards my location. During this time Lord FreezeOn contacted Shane, this is after all the same group I stole 3 athanors from the other day in a HS island. He had warned his group and was challenging me to a race. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/712305137921818815/716361605390008350/unknown.png Luckily Agast was already enroute and would make it into the system in time. I told him to warp to the closest asteroid belt and get ready, it popped right when he was landing. By the time he landed I was already landing on my warp to, I beat them there! But they were landing on grid with me and there was no time to pre align and make speed before scooping, I had to scoop now or miss it entirely. Scoop and stop, I knew I was caught so I tried not to move so when Agast landed with me he would be close enough to loot the structure. They were hammering through my ship and I wasn’t going to make it, or so I thought. Agast showed up on grid and started to exit warp right as my ship combusted from all of the firepower being directed towards it. Thank the loot fairy! The structure survived the destruction of the ship! https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/714935773547462717/716380704929480774/unknown.png https://zkillboard.com/kill/84594960/ MAN! What a f**king rush!!! Totally worth the Orca! Even if the loot fairy would have said no that was some insane shit and totally worth it! https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/712305137921818815/716356335138242660/unknown.png Man that was intense! I don’t know if I can say it enough! Holy hell! Talked with Lord Freeze0n some more afterwards and have been officially challenged to scoop the last of his Athanors, he just HAS to beat me he says. We will see, he is being an awesome sport and these are the kind of pilots we need in eve. Someone who can take a loss but enjoy the thrill of every second. Win some and Lose some. Complete the cycle of life in eve. --- Waira - AGDC Regional HQ (Amarr General Drilling and Construction) Found: 5/24 11:24am Unanchored: 5/30 10:05pm Structure: Raitaru Sold: 430,000,000 ISK Scooped: Drak'ma ---- No ceo or member on grid or in system with this one, surprise pop. It ejected about 500mil of modules and ammo, man love it when theres extra loot. ---- Waira - AGDC Alpha Refinery Found: 5/24 11:26am Unanchored: 5/30 10:10pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 630,000,000 ISK Scooped: Drak'ma --- This one popped not too long after their HQ popped, was able to get it and all its cargo back into station safely --- Waira - AGDC Beta Refinery Found: 5/24 11:26am Unanchored: 5/30 10:10pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 630,000,000 ISK Scooped: Drak'ma --- This one gave me a reminder that I need to make sure I've scanned a whole system down and not forgotten any. I got this one by the notification through the thieves guild --- Waira - AGDC Gamma Refinery Found: 5/24 11:26am Unanchored: 5/30 10:10pm Structure: Athanor Sold: 630,000,000 ISK Scooped: Drak'ma --- I had just set up the perch for this one and it popped. Man pod of 4 and I had only been watching 2? Getting lazy man. Getting lazy… ----- Serren - moon b (Zippy production clones) Notification Sturcture: Athanor Jumps: 4 Sold: 630,000,000 ISK Scooped: Dexter --- Arrived in system with it in D-Scan range and warped straight to it. Landed on grid with another crane that was slow boating to it. Scooped. Cloaked and warped away. Started to look for other structures of theirs. Found one next door that wasn’t unanchoring. ---- End of Week Atrahus: [16] Athanor: [10] Raitaru: [4] Azbel: [2] Man 32 structures in a week! What a steal! And now that the new invasion is present there are more extra large pods unanchoring! We found a pod of 12, a pod of 40, we stole one from another pod of 15 after he unanchored 2 and then he cancelled the rest of them. Pods of 3's and 5's as well are scattered about. So many eggs about to be laid! MMMM I'm hungry for more! After crunching numbers, I broke 100bil gross in stolen structures!!! Hell Yeah!!! Previous Week Total: 18,655,000,000‬ ISK Week Total: 28,200,000,000 ISK [without mods] Week Expenses: 1,901,000,000 ISK Atrahus: [16] Athanor: [10] Raitaru: [4] Azbel: [2] Total Income: 109,870,385,143‬ ISK [without mods] Total Expenses: 21,974,776,700‬ ISK Total Profit: 87,895,608,443‬‬ ISK [without mods] Week 8 - Bashing Time! 5/31/2020 Woke up to missing a bunch of pings. Man not a pleasant start to the day. Was salty at myself because I woke up to the DT pings but decided to go back to sleep instead of wait and relog everyone. Ended getting a few Athanors and an Astrahus though so in total today wasn’t too bad Athanor x 5 Astrahus x 1 6/1/2020 - 6/6/2020 Man what a week it was, I didn’t really keep track of things like I should have, was too caught up in trying to bash a few structures before anyone else got to them and before war dec's against me went into effect. I ended up recruiting a few people from the Azbel group to be my looters and in total we pulled about 18bil in the structures we bashed together and I pulled another 3-4bil from the ones I solo bashed. I also oopsed and didn't have the hauler drop corp before I started to move stuff and ended up losing a freighter we found and about 6bil of loot. The loot fairy said no for the most part and only dropped 2bil for the pillage rat group. Lesson learned and tis but a fraction of the wealth this last month has provided me. Sadly though I didn’t really steal any structures this week besides those before abandoned ones started showing up. It was fun though, everyone is now trained into Oracle's that are fit for bashing and it can take down a abandoned structure in about 35 minutes, and with the seed blanket I have started to set up I will have some live info on when stuff becomes available to poke Week 9 - Back to Scoops Athanor: [29], Raitaru: [1] 6/7/2020 Started to get the notifications for the pod of 40 that we had found before the bashings really kicked off. Was super far away and outside of a scooper ship Drak'ma was the only one with a jump clone close enough to the destination to make it, He has to buy a whole new ship when he landed and burn as fast as he could towards it. By the time he got there some 16 structures had popped. After getting there he was able to scoop one before that system was done, while going to the next system he ran across a forgotten one and was able to snag that one. Next in the main system he got 4 before scooping it out from under the owner and causing him to cancel the rest. He was able to sell them back to him for 620mil each Athanor x6 @ 620mil Was out scouting and seeding structures looking for bashing or camping targets and started to get pings on the guilds channel for structures going off. The naming scheme tinged me to a pod and I started booking it towards the target system. I had burn to jita and get into a Blockade Runner that was fitted out and be on my way, lacking my implants I felt every extra second that was required to get into warp. Man it was excruciating to say the least, but I made it into the system before the rest popped and was able to grab 3 of them. There was another thief in the system when I arrived and later on we talked, he got 2, and in total the guilds intel shows that 10 unanchored so we got half of them and the owner got the rest. Athanor x3 6/8/2020 Started to get everyone back into their Cranes and back into their implanted clones. I did some scouting around the pod and found another 12 in that system unanchoring. There was a member of the Azbel group online and who was wanting to learn so I had him come over before I thought the rest of them would start to pop. He was able to snag the first one out from under me but after that I changed how I did things with knowing the time they will unanchor. The new method allowed me to get 8 of them out of the 11 that unanchored, I gave him one and we set up on different ones on the third he got. Racing him was fun and got my heart pumping. Was also a great learning experience for him. Athanor x8 Chased a ping and also got a Raitaru. Raitaru x1 6/9/2020 Went scouting neighboring systems of the pod and found another 22 structures unanchoring owned by the same corporation. Spent the next bit prepping for them to unanchor and then set up before I thought they would pop if the guy followed his same pattern. After all, the names in the second system where the same exact names as in the first system 2:23am Pod started to pop a little earlier than I thought, the trainee showed up to the new system as well and raced me to the first one, he wasn’t able to get to it fast enough though and I warped off with it. After racing him all last night for the other structures and giving him a few to get him started with, I wasn’t really up for racing anyone except the owner. Unfortunately I wont be as active in the coming weeks so its great that these last few days have been stellar. I got each one from this unanchoring cycle. Which spanned about an hour and had an unanchor every about 5 minutes Athanors x12 6/10/2020 2:15am Pod started to pop earlier again, had a rando come and make perch spots right before the last one of the night popped. Athanors x 8 6/12/2020 Today was a decent day, was able to chase a few pings and get to them first. Woke up to an Astrahus being unanchored and floating in space for about 5 hours the timer said. Hahaha I am really surprised that no one else grabbed it Astrahus x1 + Fittings Athanor x3 6/13/2020 Been having connection problems all day, have still been able to snag a few unanchorings from notifications Athanor x7 Raitaru x3 7/18/2020 It's been a little over a month since I have written in my journal and been actively camping. I have had my son for the summer season and it's been wonderful. We recently went camping for a week and upon our return, there was a floating Raitaru from one of the one I had been camping. The next day I found an azbel that unanchored that very same day. I was returning home from an Uber eats drive when the sucker popped and finished it's decommission process. It was floating for a good 15 minutes before I was able to get home to the controls. Man, the thing was stocked full of fighters and modules still. Honestly surprised that I got it. After the giant pod last month I started a goal of getting 100 structures in my inventory, well today I reached that goal and then snagged 4 other Athanors today off of pings. I missed the only camped unanchoring of the day because it happened to go off during a chase and pod of 4 which I got 3 out of and during that pod another ping came in and I had someone only 3 jumps away from it so I chased that one, and missed one from the pod. There was another thief at the pod of 4 today and he was rather impressed with how quick I am at scooping. The owners had a fleet of 5 catalysts but no one with a warp disruptor equipped. They were able to get a single shot off on me at each station, man it had my heart pumping thinking I was about to lose another crane, glad I survived. I think I need to drop a character to improve performance. As it has been a month since my last entry and I haven't really sold any structures in that time it should be easy to get some numbers. The coming months will be better and I think I'm going to start branching off into low sec a bit. Still unsure about that. Gendrath is looking to get some combat experience and might head out to null, if he needs us out there we might find ourselves in another chapter. Athanors: [47] Astrahus: [1] Raitaru: [4] Week 10 - On and Off 8/4/2020 Man started today off by scooping an Astrahus that Gendrath found when moving to a new corporations home solar system. We joked that it was destiny saying welcome to the group for Gendrath. He decided to give it to the new corporation he is in. Got a Tatara ping and decided to check it out, it was still there! Closest orca was 7 jumps out and started burning right away. As Drak'ma burned gates to get into system I sat and watched the unanchored Tatara. There was a freighter on grid and a few other random ships. The tackle ships were focused on the freighter as Drak'ma landed on grid with us. He aligned out and made speed before scooping it and warping off. First Tatara checking off our goal of one of each large structure. right after the Tatara was scooped a pod of 2 Raitarus popped and I was able to scoop one and then messed up on the drop off. Ended up warping to a far way structure instead of one that was really close. Caused me to miss the second Raitaru sadly. A few moments later there was a ping for an Azbel a few systems over and with Drak'ma being suspect I ran over there to check it out. And instead of finding a Azbel unanchored I found a floating Fortizar and the rush was on again. With Drak'ma being suspect he hauled a** over to the fortizar. The random people were there again and this time they bumped Drak'ma right as he scooped the structure and was warping off. They caught him and blew him up. Blowing up the Fortizar he just scooped as well. They must have had an instant locking ship as they caught his pod as well. Man 11.4bil loss but man what a rush. These last few times getting caught had made me think that I need to be able to anchor the structure really quick if need be in order to prevent the loss. It seems like we are able to get the structure 90% of the time and on the 3% that we get caught we need to have a method of not loosing it. I realize I have been slacking with the journal a bit. Time to get back to it. 8/6 3:15am - Agal group of 6 Athanors started to unanchor. Vladimar was camping a station nextdoor in Heorah because we all thought it would pop first, guess we were all wrong, shoulda taken that bet. Vlad was able to get through the gate and scoop up the first station before anyone else, the next station popped about 8 minutes later and while he was dropping that one off the other 4 dropped at once. Vlad had to kick it into high gear if he was going to scoop them all. "#3 scooped" he calls out a moment later. At about a minute apart he was calling out the rest of them, "#4...#5...#6, that's the last one, one spat a can going to check now...nothing, must have been rigged, bugger got my hopes up for extra loot" 2:30pm - talked with the owner of JagsCorp the owner of the six Athanors and a bunch of other that are unanchoring. 2 of them turned abandoned and were blown up, I tried to get him to refuel them but he could care less. He said he hit the button and didn't plan on returning for them, if they blow up they blow up, if they unanchor; good luck. Guess he is done being a station owner, if he wasn't at war he woulda just transferred them over for me to deal with but alas he can not so it's up to the randomness of the upwells built-in abandoned state. He has an Azbel that is unanchoring and wouldn't even fuel it for another day for 250 million isk. Balls... Gendrath has been watching the owner of a Sotiyo and Azbel he found unanchoring. Zaphire and Drak'ma are there for the scooping and Gendrath is going to web Zaphire when the Sotiyo drops. So Gendrath has been following the owner around watching and waiting for him to board a freighter giving us our que that it's going to pop He disconnected from local around 4pm 8/7 - 8/8 Well today has been extremely aggravating. The active wars against the JagsCorp structures came active before they unanchored. From the 13 left after the Agal pod popped only 2 remain after the abandoned structure bashers came through. They even reinforced the Azbel that was unanchoring. The 2 Athanors that were left, unanchored 7 hours after when he said they would unanchor... Surprisingly 1 of the 2 were floating there after I woke up which was an hour and a half after they popped. Bah!! So much lost and the worst part is they had nothing but seed cans in them. Decided to check up on the list of unanchored structures and found an Athanor and about 100mil worth of fuel that had been floating for some 6 hours. Man I don't understand how people can just forget their stations. These 2 Athanors pushed me over 100 Athanors in stock alone, with 101. 121 structures in inventory at the moment. 8/9 1:34am Zaphire posted a ad in the trade channels thinking we might sell one or two structures. Well she talked with one guy who bought all we had at market at the moment. Some 87x Athanors, 10x Raitarus, 6x Astrahus' and all the mods and fuel we had. Totaling out to 62.45bil. 57.5b for the structures, 4.5b for the mods and 450mil for the fuel. 2:43am Sotiyo owner becomes active and is out mining with a multiclone. Gendrath is stalking them. Good god though his active hours are right around when we go to bed, so we are super tired but man it's a f**king Sotiyo, it's been months since the last one unanchored in high sec. We are all pushing ourselves to the limit watching these guys and I'm really confident that we will get it if it pops while we are awake. 4:00am Man what a rush! Responded to a ping from the thieves guild and found a large defense fleet. Watched them, they were using an Occator and slow boating to it. https://prnt.sc/twt5dc Man I was sitting there watching them on Bika - X03 and was toying with the idea of going for it and decided to just troll with them instead. Right as I typed "Well Well Well what do we have here" into the system wide chat room it popped so I warped to and scooped it. There was anything or anyone within 2,000m of me after the computer had confirmed the compressed structure was in my cargo hold, so I cloaked up and warped off while screaming and laughing my a** off, there shouldn’t have been any way for me to get that but guess they froze for a second, I didn’t try for the X04 or X05 that unanchored. I had woken them up and wasn’t going to get a second scoop, but man it was fun. 4:09pm So far we have gotten a Athanor, 3 Astrahus and a Raitaru One of the Astrahus' we actually found today and I hadn't even transferred the seed over to Dexter. No owner or anyone else on grid with it when it popped. Gendrath has seen the owner of the Sotiyo warping in and out of the system in a Charon class Freighter. We are all still thinking this is just a guys and his solo operation. He may be under an alliance, but so far that alliance doesn’t seem to active. We have seen all 5 of the guys in the owning corporation 8/10 4:45am Getting close to the Capsuleer daily connection upload and I have a feeling the Sotiyo will pop soon. Probably right after connection reset. My big hope is that it is the Sotiyo that unanchors first and not the Azbel. I'd hate to snag the Azbel for them to cancel the Sotiyo, and I'd hate to just let them take the Azbel to ensure the Sotiyo unanchors Renyn - Forrest Advanced Manufacturing (Nieuwoudt Logistics) Found: 8/3 3:42pm Unanchored: 8/10 7:33am Structure: Sotiyo Scooped: Zaphire & Gendrath ----- Man oh man what a rush. Gendrath had been watching 2 of the members all morning warp back and forth and in and out of system in a Nestor and a Vindicator, was thinking this might actually be a little rough. Once they went down and Drak'ma screamed into the voice coms "GO!!!!!" Gendrath had him and I warping to the Sotiyo, Gendrath landed first and decloaked waiting for me (Zaphire) to exit warp, my charon is slow as balls exiting warp but she managed, I instantly had her align out to out exit point and then scooped the structure. The moment my suspect tag went on Gendrath activated his Stasis Webbifiers on me and my Freighter entered warp not a second after. I was already leaving the grid with the prize in hand. Totally worth camping this thing for a week. Seeing as we found it the same day it started. ----- Renyn - Nieuwoudt Logistics R&D Facility (Nieuwoudt Logistics) Found: 8/3 3:42pm Unanchored: 8/10 7:34am Structure: Azbel Scooped: Drak'ma ---- Once Zaphire had entered warp I decloaked my Orca and was warping to the unanchored Azbel which popped like 30s after the Sotiyo unanchored. After landing next to the can I aligned and cycled my micro warp drive and then scooped the structure and initiated the auto docking sequence so it would be in the command que. 3s left on the MWD's cycle and their Vindicator just exited warp on where the Sotiyo used to be. Coast is clear. Entering warp. Man what a rush and what a steal this was!!! ---- https://prnt.sc/txcxvg 8:10am Responded to an Athanor ping and was able to make to to the system first. Found it and about 900mil worth of modules and fuel in a container next to it. Guess the dude forgot to strip it, and set a timer hahahah. 11:51pm Dude im still giddy and cant get over the fact that I was able to nab the Sotiyo AND the Azbel. I also cant believe a dude that owned a Sotiyo didn’t know how to unanchor a structure. I really he doesn’t go put himself into the biomass machine which is the only way a capsuleer wont get cloned back to life. That’s really the true reason I try to teach the people I steal from, I don’t want them to disconnect from system chat to never return. We capsuleers may be immortal but there really isnt that many of us compared to the mortals in the verse. I'm going to end the week here and this next week I will be going back to my old logging methods and style. Week 11 - Hunting? 8/11/2020 12:06am So I have thought of a new goal to reach. Having 1 of every structure class in my inventory. Yeah I'm already mostly there but I figured the hardest ones are the ones yet to come. ---------------------------- Astrahus [x] Athanor [x] Raitaru [x] --- Azbel [x] Tatara [x] Fortizar[ ] --- Sotiyo [x] Keepstar [ ] --- Faction Fortizar [ ] ---------------------------- Since I have slacked on my numbers im going to do an update print out of my current wallet and inventory and we will go from there. Liquid Isk: 88,946,633,418 ISK Structures on hand: Astrahus: 4 Athanor: 15 Raitaru: 3 Azbel: 2 Tatara: 1 Sotiyo: 1 https://evepraisal.com/a/vqtty : Universal Estimate of 48,830,000,000 ISK @ Max value Combined Total: 137,776,633,418 ISK | 137.78bil Now that’s not including modules and fuel blocks that have dropped from people not stripping out their structures first. Its good to see some numbers though, and will give a good number to start up again with. This last week was rough, we lost a lot of implant sets and Cranes to the invading Triglavian forces. We all need to go raise our standing with them so we wont be bothered while checking their systems out in the future. (Well I just read that EDENCOM figured out people were running neutral and they arent too happy about that. So looks like things are going to change on that front.) Now about the last 3 structures on my list, the Fortizar and Faction Fortizar and then the Keepstar. Man these are going to be tough to find and get, except the regular Fortizar, I already have 2 being watched. One by myself and the other by Drak'ma, so that one wont be too hard I don’t think. It’s the Keepstar and Faction Fortizar I'm intimidated by. They are the most likely to have defense fleets on them. Then there is the sheer amount of logistics that would go into getting zaphire and her Freighter into the same Null Security System as the Keepstar and then out again once its mine. This weeks log will be a little short as I will be going back to Sunday - Sunday I guess ill have to work out exploring null. 8/11 Well today wasn't too great of a day. Zaphire got attacked while moving our structures to our market location and unfortunately lost her ship and 7 Athanors, they survived the explosion but with no one close by the pirates retrieved it all first and made off with it. Thank God we didn't have to replace her implants. Athanors drop like flies and those 7 will be replaced shortly. The Implants though are getting scarce and expensive. Everyone has been told to keep out of triglavian systems until we can Man f**kin hell! Just to add to the already bad the both of the Fortizars dropped while I was taking a nap and I woke up 10minutes after they popped and someone else had already snagged them. Man F**K! Guess ya win some and lose some but man why does my body insist on sleeping through any kind of f**king alarm… its really getting on my nerves. I mean the TV Volume was at 56 for f**k sakes ----- Well this week was rather disappointing, not much else dropped and I had to leave for a trade show and while I was there we had a huge pod unanchor.... Of course. Well here's to next week. Week 12 - Null Time? 8/16 Well today has been alright and a good start to the new week I got back from the trade show and connected to the chat channels and was instantly being screamed at by Vinduster, one of the members of MyLeftArm that has been interested in structure reclaiming. He screamed at me to get on voice coms really quick so I did and man o man I had no idea. "Shamus!!!" He said. "Are you anywhere near base 1? I'm 3j over and there are 2 unanchored Raitarus that I can't scoop for some reason, my computer system is malfunctioning! Hurry your a** up! I'll link it in corp chat!" "Wait, what was that? You have TWO Raitarus that are UNANCHORED?" I said a little shocked and with my heart rate increasing. "Yeah! That's what I said! Did the transmission get garbled?" He replied in a hurry. "Copy that! Let's see who is closest" I responded as I sent the system out to the fleet. Drak'ma responded with "1 jump!! Hitting the gate now!" Sure enough, when Drak'ma landed on the first Raitaru there was a freighter and a Crane right next to the unanchored structure. But apparently his systems were unaffected by whatever was happening to the owner and Vindusters ships. First one down, one more to go. At the second Raitaru there was only another Crane which was one of Vind's multiclones. He had been warping back and forth between them trying furiously to scoop them up but his retrieval arm was jammed and wouldn't respond. I'm thinking the decommissioning malfunctioned and some nanites where flung onto their ships and rendered the retrieval arm useless. Oh well, he paid me a scoopers fee of 100mil for the two structures and we both got a rush. Him more so than I, I expect. Two Athanors popped a little bit later in the day and I was the closest at 8 jumps out. It was still there when I arrived and the second one was right next door. Apparently owned by the same corporation and forgotten about. They had a full defense fit along with the moon drill. Nice, I love it when there are extra goodies. Right before the capsuleer connection refresh another Athanor unanchored and Vladimar was camping this one. There was a small defense fleet but they weren't quick enough and Tiamat slipped away with the Athanor while they were left with what modules they had in there. 8/17 Man what a day today was. Gendrath got invited into a Null security space corporation and started the process of moving out there. He flew in his first true fleet mining op as a hauler. After the op he was just wandering around null checking things out and found a floating Athanor while in a ship that couldn't fit it in the cargo hold. Luckily there was a small trade hub 3j from the Athanors location and he was able to burn there, fit out a badger, and make it back in time to scoop the Athanor. As he was warping out a Nerus warped onto it and the pilot started shouting in the system wide chat in a language none of us could understand. Hahahaha Gendrath was able to dock up and just chill in his ship until the dude left. A little earlier in the day while Gendrath was moving his stuff around Tiamat was able to scoop up an Athanor from under 2 haulers and 2 Drekavacs which are Battlecruiser class Triglavian ships. Nasty things that can deal a ton of damage if their lasers spool up all the way. Sadly for the owner, probably not the best thing to use for a defense fleet. Another Athanor popped in our old home pipe and Vladimar was able to switch into Strictly which is one of his multiclones and was able to make it there in time to scoop it up. So in total that makes 3 Athanors today. Great way to start the week off and a great welcome to null. 8/18 Well we had another good day today. Got one of the camped Athanors, got one from the Thieves Guild pings and while there we found another unanchoring Azbel which makes 2 currently on our watch list, and then Gendrath found a floating Raitaru and a Clone baywith it out in null. That makes Gendrath 2 for 2, I wonder if he will get another tomorrow, maybe an Astrahus to round off all the medium structures. In total we got three structures making for a nice day. Log Note: Gendrath Valkson Entry: 8/18 9:18pm ---- Been a long day jumping around null and looking around. Don't know where I've been or where I'm going, just jump, jump, jumping.... Another one down and plenty more to go. Jump, jump, jumping.... Jump, jump, jumping.... Oh gone too far, looks like I've wandered into low security space. But what's this? A Raitaru that's already unanchored? My, my, my, how many jump, jump, jumps is the nearest industrial ship that's gonna be able to scoop a diddity doop this poor little thing up. Left all alone, floating in this black abyss. Loading up the regional market my only option in a Tayra, two jumps out. Well better book it baby, let's go jump, jump, jumping!! Buy it now and let's go! Jump, jump, jumping.... One down three to go! Jump, jump, jumping! Let's get that ship! Doh! No fittings available, well better hurry! Something is better than nothing, at least she can fit the Raitaru without any modules. Jump, jump, jumping.... One down, two to go! Hahahaha!! It's still here baby! Score!! Poor thing, come here, let's get you somewhere safe and sound. Docking Request Accepted. There you go buddy, safe and sound. Now let's go back for your module, you wait right here. Undocking... Come on, let's go, warp to bookmark; lost item. Still here huh, good, let's get you back to where you belong. Warp to Station. Auto Dock Enabled. Docking Request Accepted. ---- Man what a rush it sounds like. It also sounds like it came at a good time as he was getting delirious from all the jumps. Dude needs to be a little more careful. 8/19 4:25pm Slow day so far. Not much activity at all. We ended up getting a floater and Gendrath went on a mining fleet down in null. Fleet size was about the same as what we ran up here in empire space. He did go pirate base hunting with them as well and they used a technique called the hand of God with a bunch of drones. It was surprisingly effective. 8/20 Chased a few pings today and also got caught at a camp. I had stolen from these guys before so they knew what was up and what I was going to do. My computer system lagged for a second after I had scooped the structure and they were able to lock me and keep me from warping off. Sadly they also owned another structure in that same system. It finished unanchoring before I was able to get back with a new ship. 8/22 Missed an Azbel unanchoring by 30 minutes because I was sleeping and didn't hear the alarm go off. Balls man, why can't I wake up to the alarm. Thank God it's not a hull breach or anything. Gotta start scouting for another large structure. I've missed the last 3 that I was camping and it's starting to get on my nerves. 8/23 F**k! Missed the last Azbel I had targeted currently by an hour after I went to bed! Man I couldn't keep my vision straight anymore! Getting really annoyed at the limits of the body. Sadly it was a poor end to a alright week. Null was kind to us where as empire space wasn't. But I'm feeling the deep sleep coming on again so it might be time to rest again. What an adventure this cycle has been. I wonder what world we will wake into next
