Journal Entry No. 1

2/3/YC116

I am finally ready to begin my adventure into New Eden, after years of training and work. I began this journey with two goals in mind: fame and fortune being one, like all other capsuleers I've met. The second being in hopes of meeting another capsuleer, or even ship crew member, who has information about my ancestor. My ancestor, all the way back before New Eden was founded, back on Earth, had died quite the mysterious death. His body was never found, and there had been rumors that he had been cloned and revived later, here in New Eden.

My second goal in becoming a capsuleer is to find any and all information regarding my ancestor who saved humanity from a dystopian future through the use of a cell phone and a microwave. There are numerous rumors addressing my ancestor, but each and every one of them has their holes. One rumor even states that memories of him in other separate but parallel universes were too strong, causing his existence to entirely fade from this universe. If I find any entries or information about my ancestor, I will attempt to place it here, along with a date-stamp of when I think the event occurred.

I need to come in contact with other capsuleers who might know about my ancestor. Battling them will just piss them off and ruin any chance of me learning more. I will battle if the need arises, but I will avoid opening fire on others ships if at all possible. Besides, even if I were to engage in capsuleer warfare, I would likely not gain much profit; there is a high-risk high-reward involved in warfare. Losing could mean millions or tens of millions of Isk loss. Of course, this is a risk involved in most Isk-making schemes. Even in entrepreneurship, one can lose Isk by losing a ship during a courier contract, however this risk is especially high in warfare. And thus, I believe mining raw materials and manufacturing goods is the best plan of action. When people come to me wanting me to manufacture goods, I can try to find information about my ancestor by talking to them. I don't have to make complicated spreadsheets like an entrepreneur, and I don't have to  hunt down troublesome rogues with a bounty.

Either way, I have an advantage my ancestor did not have: I am immortal. Unfortunately, all the other capsuleers are immortal as well, so if someone has a grudge against me, then there is no stopping them until they get revenge. I just pray that revenge does not mean destruction of all information regarding my ancestor.
