Warp Drive Active

Daphne II dived down, passing between debris as several missiles impacted with the battlecruisers shields, a volley of artillery fired through the vacuum impacting with the Sleeper's hull and finishing off what was left of it. Kiruss aligned the battlecruiser out simultaneously reading over the last scan from his ship's sensors.

"No new signals. Good. Tower still quiet. Better. No ship signatures on scan. Excellent."


The ship warped off, coming out of warp a few thousand meters away from a large wormhole, the system's star could be seen through the large cosmic anomaly. Kiruss took advantage of the quiet locus to examine it. The various camera drones focusing on the magnificent anomaly. Capable of throwing him who knows how far across the reaches of space safely, but at any moment could become unstable and trap him here, possibly forever or until he was driven mad enough to self-destruct his pod. The man turned his Hurricane towards the wormhole, covering the distance quickly, and was pulled through by it's forces.

On the other side he did a quick scan, safe as usual, and turned the ship towards his corporation's tower. While in the warp he let his mind wander as he had told Kyber to do more often, he was probably off making sure his people at his own tower were doing fine. He registered enjoyment at the thought that the man had essentially stranded himself here in this wormhole system and set-up a several hundred million ISK tower and defense system for what he assumed was to allow him to spend more time around Kiruss, though the ISK he was making probably didn't hurt as well.

He brought his attention back to his ships, finally having his pod transferred to his ship fitted for taking care of sites filled with Fullerite gas. The activity was time consuming and solitary, it was perfect for him. The ISK he made selling the gas to Wormhole Engineers wasn't bad either, no idea what they did with it, but their tower had several reactors. He wasn't as much an industrialist as an opportunist. Getting certified for gas mining took no time at all and had already paid itself back quickly.

The Thorax aligned back to the wormhole, entering warp quickly, Kiruss turned his attention back to the task at hand. Would be a shame to find himself floating in his pod because he was spending more time daydreaming about what his evening would entail, than paying attention to his scanners; something that was something easy to do when connected to a pod and watching the harvesting modules cycle
