Logged in well after hours today after seeing a single sleeper kill on the sensor net, retriever mining arkonor. Bugger had stabs fitted, which is just as well since as he was leaving my futile attempts to point him, 2 drakes showed up. I really don't think my proteus can take on 2 drakes at the same time, so it's just as well.
Bugger. Scanning quickly removes dead signatures and brings up....4 exits. Let's see where they lead. First up is our regular hisec, since I don't know who is in system I'll pass on seeing where we are. Second looks like an incoming C2 after consulting the databanks Penny provided. The third signature has seemingly expired or collapsed by the time I warp in to get a visual, which leaves the fourth as our static C4.
It seems we have neighbors in the C2 who want to mine - seeing that I'm the only one on, I'll just head back to the tower and settle in for some sleep.

The Procurer is a tough nugget
We've had a busy day today. Slade killed a navy megathron and a retriever shortly before I logged in. Strangely a procurer from the same corp as the mega started mining, we figured it was a trap. Frank checked the hisec side, the mega's corp had a badger mk2 sitting outside of the exit.
I waited till the procurer dropped a can, bookmarked it and ran willy nilly off to the tower for a cheap ship to commence battle. Now the procurer had left a sleeper in the site as it could permatank it with ease, so a bomber wouldn't work.....hmm refit here and there and grabbed my old standby myrmidon.
Warped in, got a point on the barge, popped his can and the sleeper wrecks he left (salvaged one of them) and started dropping rounds into his shields. Getting through armor and Frank piped up that a slepnier and drake from the pilots corp showed up on the hole. Slade saw them come inside, and they started warp to my location as the last sliver of hull vaporized from the barge.
Both hostiles landed just as I entered warp, maybe half a second too late to point me. That is quite the adrenalin rush, and my first actual kill in ages. 20k damage, that barge is a tough one.
Soon after, both hostiles left, and an unrelated anathema and hurricane came in to presumeably scout.
