Journal Entry No. 5

8/10/YC116

I left my old corporation, Whitestar Agency, due to the directors suddenly disappearing as well as the foreclosure of the PvP division, the Whitestar Federation. Additionally, we were wardecced, so I lost over 100 million ISK from that unfair war. Since then I have joined Affirmative Action Industries, a mining and industry corporation with a wealthy CEO.

When I joined the corporation, we were a small and humble group, consisting of just a few members with our headquarters located in Jita. This location was just as a temporary means; we had every intention to move our HQ to a new system as soon as possible. I compiled a few systems and crunched a few numbers, and I found a suitable system for us to move to: Wuos. It was a small system, fairly isolated, only 8 jumps from Jita, had a few ice fields to mine for fuel for our upcoming POS. Finding this location and surveying the location got me promoted to Auditor, Diplomat, and Communications Officer of my corporation.

I had been hoping that our corporation would not get wardecced, but it was an unrealistic hope. A few days ago, on August 7th, YC114, Scandinavian Dirtbags declared war on our humble corporation. This was to be expected, of course. This time, however, my CEO had communications in high places, as well as a large sum of ISK to hire mercenaries if needed. The war began 24 hours after the declaration, on August 8th.

The war has gone on for about 3 days now. During that time, only one ship has been lost: Khirean's Retriever. The war costs them 50 million every week, so one would think that they would hunt us down and try to cause as much carnage as possible. Granted, we have been more careful with which systems we jump to and whatnot, but that shouldn't exclude us from almost all losses whatsoever. We're a corporation full of primarily newbies, someone's bound to jump to the wrong place and stumble upon a gate camp.

Upon doing some research, I discovered that the leader of the Scandinavian Dirtbags alliance, Azicus Masrama, was in the Cha0s Legion corporation from 2013.04.25 01:07 to 2013.06.15 00:46. Alone, this information is useless. However, upon further research I discovered something suspicious. The CEO of my corporation, Khirean Khiriani, was in the same corporation, Cha0s Legion, from 2013.04.29 23:07 to 2013.06.19 00:56. In other words, Khirean Khiriani, my CEO, and Azicus Masrama, the CEO of Scandinavian Dirtbags alliance, were in the same corporation during the same time frame: 2013.04.29 23:07 to 2013.06.15 00:46, a month and a half. This is plenty enough time for them to get to know each other. If this was the case, then Scandinavian Dirtbags should have stayed away from injuring the corporation of an old friend. But did they? No... perhaps it was something more... could it be for revenge?

Such a possibility is quite likely, a month and a half is easily enough time to spawn feelings of hatred for each other. But is that the case? Am I to believe such a simplistic story? No, what I sense is a conspiracy. What it entails, I do not yet know. I must do more research on this topic. Even if that means drawing unwanted aggression by talking to the enemy alliance's CEO, I must know more. Did something happen in their past? Some sort of espionage? Perhaps an assasination contract? ...I can't come to conclusions with such a small basis. Perhaps I'll throw myself in front of the enemy, see if they attack me, or if they spare me. If I did such, I'd have to be piloting a fairly useless non-PvP ship; using a specialized PvP ship could make them draw aggression in defense. On the other hand, using a non-PvP ship might cause them to take an easy kill. Whatever I do, I will write down in my Captain's Log here.

On an unrelated note, I have noticed that a quite experienced member of my corporation, Lara Khiriani, and my CEO, Khirean Khiriani, have the same last name. Often this is a trait shared with character's alts, which is no big deal, except that Lara and Khirean are two different people. Or so they claim. I know that Khirean invited Lara to Eve Online, which suggests that they know each other outside of Eve. Is that really a reason to have the same last name though? Perhaps it is just an alias used to act as an undercover boss. One would think they would try to hide their tracks more, though, if they were trying to be undercover. I do not know, and it is likely not that important. For now, I will leave this conspiracy closed, unless I find information proving otherwise, right or wrong.

El. Psy. Congroo.
