At every point in a mans
life, he wonders how the events of the past, an intangible weave
of lives, have crated the life he lives today. I have never considered
this in any great depth until this day. These things mean little
to mankind when the petty squabbles of old rivalries and the fast
paced life of a space pilot take priority from morning break to
nights end.
Then I suddenly find
the calm of the storm that is my life and many thoughts flood my
head as I ponder my destiny in life. In much pacing I realised that
many of my forebears must have had at least one moment in their
life when they did the same. What revelations had they come to in
this short time of life, surrounded by the timelessness of space
and planets? My thoughts drifted towards the fabled home of our
kin, Earth. The contempt for confinement that man possesses has
the power to create great havoc in life, and in some cases, create
new life from that chaos. The Eve Gate!
I had never laid eyes
upon it in my life though I had read many a book on Astrophysics
and Quantum Physics about it's formation and theories of it's collapse.
It was true that this was our genesis, our beginning and the root
of our lives.
With my free time, I
chose to invest wisely and before I knew it I was setting a course
of the beginning of our lives in Eve. Something was compelling me
to go there, I was drawn to it. Not as a mere scientific inquisition,
I had no desire to go there and take gravimetric readings for the
good of scientific discovery. I packed my ship, a Gallente Thorax
named "The Jaded Soul", with anything I thought I would
need and set a course from Pator.
I knew the voyage might
be difficult as I have to pass through the throne worlds of the
Amarr. Given all the recent tension with the recent passing of the
emperor and the challenge of succession, they might not take kindly
to a Minmatar making their way to the seat of our heritage. And
the galactic map was showing that some deaths had occurred in the
system just outside the access systems to the New Eden gate. It
was possible that this was a pirate blockade or just some corp wars
in the area. However I would find out when I got there.
