Plus Ultra #29

 My Wahine,

I thought I did squiz you out in a Vexor Navy Issue, so looks like Dyadya is spoiling you mean as. Don't put the biggest-caliber turrets on there; you're still in highsec space, so the rats are smaller, and the big guns are munted for tracking the small wakas. Use the lighter dual-class railguns, as the tracking is better, especially since you're not an expert yet in turrets. Better to hit sweet as with a lighter-caliber, than miss often with a bigger gun. Target painting will help you help your drones in carking the small stuff, as will a tracking computer. You can either run the tracking computer unscripted, for a mix of range and tracking benefits, or you can script it for exclusive range OR tracking needs.

I want to get back to the faction warfare, but found out that in fighting for the Gallente, The Syndicate was packing a sad about my progress there. I spent some time on some yakka for The Syndicate to alleviate their ire, so we're sweet as again. Which bring up the next possibility, and a secret pet project of mine: Finding my old whanau in Angels Cartel.

Not sure if Koroua ever bored you with the tale of how he found me, but as a baby, with the help of a janitor (of all people, they somehow find ways of surviving carked structures), he rescued me from the wreckage of an Angels retirement home. Years later, your mum squizzed an Angels ratbag sniffing around the docks, and she said he looked a lot like me. Never did catch up with that kino or his Cynabal, but been on the lookout.

So, after marrying your mum, and doing bung yakka for The Syndicate, I might have just enough grace in Angels space to poke around, and see if I can find the old whanau. Nothing against Koroua, Dyadya, and our whanau we have now, it's cracker, but I can't help wondering about my tangata. I took your mum down there for a bit during our honeymoon, but we stayed in highsec space and I didn't get any sense that my tangata were there. Not that it keeps me up at night, but I could have brothers, sisters, cousins out there, could find out more about the tangata I came from.

You've been knuckle under, I've been beached as, and mum's been painting more. After we finished closing up the Intakistan commodities pipeline, I've just been pondering my next project. Big things are happening in the galaxy, and Angels Cartel are in the middle of it. The Guri Malakim, the Deathless, and Angels and Guristas, are all going to be making a mark on New Eden soon, as you've heard about the new gates that have been discovered. My path forward will start with returning to Turnur, and see where the course takes me.

Kia Pai,

Papa
