Billionaire Buccaneer: Day 0

My preparations were fairly simple and boring. I had to do the following:

1. Find a place to set up shop.
2. Move all my assorted gear out to my new home.
3. Set a clone and move jump clones to my new HQ.
4. Leave Eve University for good. (Technically, for evil.)
5. Purchase bookmarks and the equipment necessary to engage in a life of piracy.


Day 0 went pretty slowly. Originally, moving to the Derelik region sounded good. I liked the idea of sticking it to those slaves down in Ammatar space, and my fiance (a Minmatar, whom I refer to as my lovely assistant) liked the idea of killing slavers and those who give them aid and comfort. But things seemed a bit too quiet there for my tastes, so I skipped over to the Placid region and checked things out there. Suffice it to say, I liked what I saw: Lots of systems 0.4 and below, in between noobspace and 0.0 ... Yes, this will do nicely.

After repeated attempts, I discovered that most freighter pilots come in two varieties: Greedy as a loan shark with a gambling problem, or as untrustworthy as a car salesman who owns the loan shark money. But hey, I thought. I'm rich. So I figured, if I'm going to pay a lot, I may as well pay a lot to someone I know won't take all of my ships, sell them, and spend the money on Mindflood, lapdances from my mother and protein delicacies. And that's what I did. No, not the lapdance thing.

Then, I just had to purchase and install bookmarks. I won't even go into this. Suffice it to say that when I had finally finished copying over a thousand bookmarks, leaving the station for the first time was as pleasurable as taking a dump while getting a massage from a puppy AND smoking the first cigarette of the day. I really wanted to go looking for trouble, but I was tired and I needed to take a dump. So on that note, I ended.
