So a few months ago Hattori invited Mail and myself to join him in wormhole space to "make a load of isk" -this caught my attention immediatley! Being a poor pirate and basically living off ransom and loot payouts, I jumped at the chance of making some real isk to buy some nice ships. So after a good few hours of probing our way through wormhole space, we stumbled across a Class 1 unknown space. Whilst we wanted a class 2 or 3, class 1 would do! So the POS was moved in and we started doing a few sites. Plan was to move some mining ships in and do some PI as well. After we had been there for about a week, we decided it was time to pack up and move on to a class 2 or 3 if we could find one. Unfortunatley RL caught up with Mail and Hattori so the plans were put on hold for a few weeks. Then Hattori came back and decided he didnt want to continue subbing 2 accounts after the whole "Incarna -gate" so handed the reins of the corp to me!
So first step was to find someone to join me and first thought was Sarah xCalibre. New to Fla5hy and very willing to learn and also after a bit of isk! He agreed to join me, and also subbed an old dormant account to help out as well. Next step was finding an empty wormhole. Fortunatley Sarah had been scanning the forums for any for sale, and by chance, stumbled across a former TBRA and Python member who was selling an empty class 2 with a low-sec static and a c2 static. PERFECT! Money was exchanged and we were directed to the wormhole.
We moved all our POS modules and ships in ASAP, before the wormhole closed, and went about setting up shop. Now we were set up and ready to run the sites. Have done a few with Sarah, and he's done a few solo and we've made a tasty profit so far! Also, Sarah has just invited a former Flashy, Fo'Urnier, to join us. He left Flashy to try his own hand at wormholing, but his friends left him after a few days so has offered to supply the POS fuel via PI as well as running sites.
So, all in all, its been quite a learning curve, but flying with some great guys in the wormhole has made it much easier! And watch out, I'll be flying (and loosing!) some tasty ships before you
know it!

First-Time FC'ing-DIAF Fleet!
So since my last blog, Pen Island has moved to Ami. Nice system with a few local pirate gangs for us to fight with. Have spent the last few days bringing ships in and setting up safe spots etc, general housekeeping. So decided the other day to organise a roam and offer to FC for the first time!
Chose T1 cruisers as our weapons of choice, fleet members were free to fit them as they wished. Picked cruisers as they are cheap to buy and fit, just in case we lost them! We departed at 8pm (on time!) from Ami.
Fleet comp below:
Ollie Khan - Rupture
8agpuss- Rupture
IRTEHAZN- Rupture
Sarah xClalibre- Bellicose
Masozi Uduak- Blackbird
FLORIAN HUTTER- Exequror (logi)
Trenny Jr- Exequror (logi)
Mail Lite showed up at the last minute without a cruiser so came along in his Dram, the only ship he had in Ami.
Destination was set for New Eden and we all formed around the Fensi gate and sent Mail off to scout the next system. Nothing in that system so we kept going for a few jumps until we got a message from Mail in Fleet Chat:
[20:32:16] Mail Lite > Having stomache issues, need to run at moments notice so not coming along
Epic lulz on comms, some bashing and a title change were had!
Then sent 8ags off to scout. Couple of jumps ahead, he found a Drake on a gate. We all jumped in and put some damage on it, aware that it was most likely a tarp, we were all aligned out to the sun, ready to warp when the tarp arrived.
Got the Drake into low armor, and lo and behold, his friends from Chain of Chaos show up in 4 BCs. I call everyone to overheat guns and prepare to warp out. Managed to kill off the Drake, but lost Florian and Sarah in the process. Killmail
Once the rest of us got out, we all made safes in the system and hung around to decide what to do next. IRTEHAZN decided he wanted to go to the pub, so offered his Ruppy to Sarah, who took it. Whilst all this was happening, I must have been a little lax on hitting the scan button, and they must have had a fast prober, because I was probed down and before I knew it, I had 2 Canes, a Harbinger and a Drake on top of me! Tried burning away but I went down in a ball of flames!
Managed to get my pod out and headed back to Ami, with 8agpuss taking charge of the fleet.
So all in all, the roam wasnt massively successful, but still had a good laugh.
Planning another next week, watch this space!
