After jumping from Hykkota to Ahbazon, I hold my cloak to examine the large fleet before me. The pirates have fielded everything under the sun, from frigates to battleships, more trigger fingers at the ready than I could reasonably count. An Arazu watches intently with all the hate Duvolle Labs could muster burned into its Gallentean architecture. The pirate fleet have no doubt been told to clear comms, waiting with baited breath for an update on their overview, and an order from their fleet commander.

I begin warping to the next stargate.

My cloak breaks, revealing a Sunesis-class destroyer. My engines begin to whir, propelling my ship to align with the Shera gate, despite my knowledge that warping to a celestial first would lessen my chances of being hit by smartbombs. After an instant that feels like a year, my warp drive activates as every targeting attempt on my ship fails. I begin my journey to the Shera gate at a blistering 4.5 AU/s, before swiftly activating my shield hardener. I'm not out of the woods yet.

Just as I suspected, a secondary fleet awaits my arrival. Multiple smartbombs blast my tiny little starship, shaking the hull from the outside in. The pirates are sure they have me this time. The smoke clears, my shields barely dented, and my paint unscratched. My more than respectable tank has once again ensured my survival. The fleet of cutthroats and savages stare in utter disbelief as I jump through the stargate and return to civilised space.

My cargohold is empty, and I have no reason to be in Amarr.

I fly through Ahbazon just to feel.
