Work Daze #30

 Dear Wai,

I hope the relocation plans are coming along. Some recent drama up here I wanted to relay:

Another mining corp nearby got taken in by a highsec ganker scam that I've seen played out in our local space. A "victim" in an Orca or Porpoise is being "attacked" by a "ganker" (usually in a sweet as faction cruiser or something), they usually set up the play out in your field where your corp is mining (moon or belt). A "good samaritan" will engage the "ganker" but also call out in local for assistance. Well-meaning suckers will step in the mare by engaging the "ganker", and get either carked by "ganker", now legally enabled to engage you, or by CONCORD.

Watch the flashing IFF on all the pilots. If none of them are flashing red, they're engaged in a duel, and are trying to bait you into the engagement. Then, both "ganker" and "good samaritan" (and maybe even the "victim") will smoke you once you're involved.

As for Kartsev and I, we're all doing good. He's busy at the corp mining, contracts, and PI yakka, and I've taken a page from your book, and have been working on access to Lai Dai labs. Who says an old F1 Monkey can't learn new tricks?

Yours,

Dad
