The screen recorder starts. Kentt is shown sitting in that of a cabin. Unlike the frigate cabin in his last video, this one is bigger, and has remains of Amarr designs on the walls mixed in with large Verokior rugs. Kentt frowns at the camera, as he folds his hands together and rests his head upon them before speaking.
"What am I doing wrong? ...The Rusted Horde is gone. ...Odinfar is MIA. I don't understand why pilots like to just disappear when they began to have a good thing going. Ideas happening, people following them. This is the second time it has happened. So here I am wasting away in this Minmatar corporation called Native Freshfood, and I am hauling groceries to keep the isk flowing. My other friends... Pappeto, Neka... they have basically have done the same in other corporations. The only good news is we have most of our gear packed away just incase a third chance presents itself.
...It has been 3 months since we left the Rusted Horde. There are no large groups of Minmatar resistances anymore, and what remains seems to be fairly unorganized."
Kentt spins slowly in his seat, looking around the room.
"So I have been without a lot to do. I am once again wandering. This time I am wandering in a ship that has stayed together for a good... 3 years I think? An Amarr battleship I decided to throw Minmatar weapons on and call Godless and Grand. Now that is a name that would make the Amarrians angry. Hasn't seen a lot of solo fights, and I want it to stay that way. The crew is happy. I once envisioned it fighting in a large battleship fleet out in enemy space. Not like that would ever happen I guess.
But here we are in Pator. I decided to have some of the crew take leave and set up a site down on Matar. Decided to make a random VR location in the desert and allow us to live like we were born to live. Time to time, I'll visit there. The ship here is acting like our portable station. The shuttles bring water and other commodities to the base. Other then that, we live off the land down there, nomad-style.
But yea... not a lot has happened. I feel dead from all this lack of excitement. I want to think that the desert campsite will help me in some way. I know the crew likes it. It allows us to make connections with the local nomads. Maybe even do a few trades. Maybe I was not meant for space. Maybe I was to just live like I should have, and space was a distraction. Or maybe a way for me to help those less fortunate then I by providing jobs and usefulness. I bet Pappy and Neka feel that way too."
Kentt reaches across the desk for his Hphone and starts browsing the net on it. His face goes though boredom and occasionally a smirk would appear when he found something entertaining. Ten minutes pass before he looks back up noticing the camera still on.
"Dammit", Kentt reaches over and turns off the feed.

Changing the Flow
A camera feed activates, showing Kentt in a foldup chair in what looks to be that of a frigates's living quarters. There are a few Minmatar tapestries hanging from the walls, with some incense on wall mounts. Kentt gives a smile before speaking.
"Well now, alot has changed. After leaving OUCH, I resumed work with the Clone Red Creations for about a month. But we had needed more. Us CCXX pilots required a better use then playing with test ships. That was when we met up with an alliance under the name Matari Raiders. I may have mentioned them in previous logs. They wanted to destroy the alliances who attack our brothers and sisters. The ideas were big, but us pilots under the Raider's alliance were few. So nothing much more happened, and the alliance disbanded.
A few more months passed, and my corp of Clone Red made a few more ship ideas. Then I took notice of a thread in the Intergalactic Summit. Called "The Rusted Horde Rises", it was by a pilot called Odenfar. He had plans for building a whole new empire over in the New Huvilma region. He wanted to kick a alliance called "The New Order" out of the systems there who liked to prey on miners and then double back with trying to sell them mining permits. I have never been big on mining rocks... but with Neka working on her Rorqual, maybe it is time for something new."
Kentt leans forward with his elbows on the desk before him before continuing.
"In the end... Pappy and Neka liked the idea. We then made the move, taking all of our engineers and gear, and ships with us to the Rusted Horde's home system. Clone Red Creations then became a part of the main corporation. Our engineers and thinkers are still a part of our origional team, but they help out with the rest of the Rusted Horde's alliance. Gives them pointers. I am surprised some never knew it to be possible to fit a 10mm afterburner in a frigate. I lirterally opened up the world to a few of them. Torn it open.
I had later showed Odenfar some of the ship designs. He loves them. He wants to someday have a fleet where their roles can be brought out in their fullest. I too, wish to see that. Anyways, this alliance has been a good change. There are a good number of pilots with the same goals, and we have been carefull on not making our list of foes long. We shale see how this goes... maybe we can tear down a good portion of that New Order that we've been seeing. End log."
The screen then goes black.

Still Kicking
Kentt here,
Dang... it's been awhile since I updated this. But I guess that is also because not alot of activaty has occured. Yes, I went back on my own after I left ungraduated from OUCH, but I learned alot from them. I guess it will help in a way. I won't have the medal, so no one out there who see me will have alot of expectations until they actually do some research.
I have been working more on my Claw, so now it is better. Has the 10AB hooked to it, and some long range guns. It kinda matches Neka's, but her setup is surprisenly just as good dispite the fact she is just using a Slasher.
I also worked some more on the Godless and Grand. I have been lucky to have been called her captain since I first bought her about a year ago. Not like she's been alot of fights, but it is always a good fealing when you actually have to think how long you owned something without loosing it.
About 2 weeks ago, Neka, Pappeto, and I had all ventured to where the Caldari Prime incident had occured to simply explore and help if needed. It had looked to be all under control. Most vessels there were doing cargo runs, not anything our ships were capible of acheiving.
Speaking of the others, Pappeto has been doing better in his Drake. His ship does not have anything too fancy, but it can hit hard. The ship is just old tub though. Nothing really new in it. Neka has been doing fine on her own as well. I think she has been looking into alot of that instawarp drive thing you can fit onto battleships and such. Would be interesting to see it in battle if the option to use it turned up.
Other then that.... it's been quiet on my end.

Whatever
This is Kentt...
Well... that's dissapointing. Now, I have a life outside the pod. That is good. But it also takes priority at times that would pull me from flying and being a "productive pilot". I connect to my pod's monitering systems via a external connection. Guess what? I am now a proud member of Native Freshfood because the University is not willing to wait anymore. I had the required kills for a graduation... but the instructors wanted to see more due to my mistake in the previous entries. I can understand.
I guess I can stand in their shoes and see what they see. The student Kentt appears and dissapears at random times just to update his training. It's all I can really do when I am pressed on things outside of the pod. Not like I can have my life fully revolve around it. Oh well, I have played the student long enough. It is time to move on and return to enjoying the flying in ships I love then to wait around for the University to gather their instructors for a bubble camp.
It has been great learning under you Bren, along with the other instructors I have learned under. Your survival course was a blast to preform in a Burst class frigate, and your survival course I would highly recommend for others. But only if they can move around their life outside their pod to fit with your schedule. I know you instuctors have to do the same so you can effectivly teach your classes and I applaud that.
It is now time for me to return to Clone Red at my earliest conveinence. Neka is waiting for me, along with Pappeto. It is time for me to pass on what I learned to help our little corporation grow a tad more. I have the ability to survive Null security space, and that it enough to get things rolling. On top of that, I can now fly the Wolf, and also beable to apply what I learned for my Claw frigates.
Matari Raiders is about as dead as a fish out of water for day can be. But I will continue to keep connections with what pilots are out there who are still a part of the push. That will allow my pilots to stay motivated for when they look at the VR rooms for the Matari Raiders that are empty, they will know that it is their duty to stand the watch. To fly the flag of freedom. Eventually I hope to connect with others who may be doing the same. When that time comes, will we stand down from out watch for the Matari Raiders.
But during then, let us shake up a few nests to keep things lively.

Updates, updates
Well, this is Kentt again. A bit has happened the past few days. Some I am happy about and others I am not too fond of.
First, the bad news. About... two or three weeks ago I was booted from the University for solo pvp. I'll be honest, that day it occured I was itching to graduate. So I decided to stalk a gate using my tactical bookmarks in my student fit Rifter. I failed to remember that solo pvp was not allowed and when I stated an encounter I had in the corporation comms channel, I was booted. Things were fixed later and I rejoined after appologising. Sometimes, it is really hard to wait and only fight in the bubble gate camps that they train their pvp at. It is hard to be away from the other frigates and ships I normally fly. The good thing is two days ago I hit the graduateable limit of 10 kills. But... I think I wish to get a few more marks on my killboard to lessen the red I have.
Second, the VR room called the Standing Place that I usually frequent has been rebuilt into a comms channel. ...I'll miss the Vherokior style room I always relaxed in. The firepit in the middle, the hanging charms, and the view of the snow outside whenever the door was left open by those who really lived there. Now it is just a comm channel where us Matar can bond and learn about ourselves. But of course... I have no ownership of the room and it was all on the owner's decision.
Some good news. Neka has gotten her certificate to fly the big ships. Like the Rorqual I think. It's a pretty big step. We'll see how things go from there. I also heard our other pilot Pappeto, has stepped up on his daily flying. He had helped a Caldari Navy pilot in the search for one of his pilots. That was nice of him. I guess he had also called on Neka for a ship with a probe launcher.
Other then that, it has been well. I am hoping to graduate this next weekend. Possible after another day of camping out on the bubble. Then they should be happy to let me go on my merry way.

Swimming with my Orca
So yesterday went well. I met an old friend who I used to know over in the universe of Star Wars Galaxies and she was playing the trial version. I decided to help out and fly 3 PLEXs over in my Orca to assist. Now I am over in Amarrland and enjoying redoing the tutorial missions there to get freebees and some isk on the side. I also have almost perfected Neka's slasher, as it can oneshot snipe frigates. Havn't attacked any pod pilot vessels yet with it, but unless they are snipers as well I think it would do well.
So out of boredom, I made a artillary projectile fitted Executioner. Kind of funny seeing the 3 guns on there. But for now it is a cheep way to do some of the missions and not worry about loosing things. Not like that is really needed for the noob missions. But sometimes it is good to get out of your normal ship and fly something way underpowered, then see if you can do the missions and survive. It keeps me more attentive to things that way.
The cool thing I noticed it that even if I am doing the noob missions with the annoying tutorial help menu activating, the missions take me in cool out-of-the-way deadspace locations. So that is a good way to make safespots. Not like I really need them in that system, but if I ever get cornered and the system is nearby, going there would always become an option to hide it out.

Little Bubble Warriors
Today was pretty good. It was a late start, but I was able to make it out to OUCH's null security gate camp and get some gate camper fealing while inside my student frigate. I also blew up my first capsule out there. At the start, the instructors who were out there gave me the quick rundown to prepare. Such as tactical bookmarks around the area and what to do during what situations when a quick order is needed. After that, I flew over to our warp bubble that was set up and we hung around there talking and enjoying ourselves until the ocational ship would get caught.
At one point we had a Black Frog pilot fly into our bubble. They help out alot of people... so they are good guys in many people's eyes. Sadly, this perticular pilot was only flying in his pod. Must have lost his ship awhile back... or was traveling the super cheep route. So we held our fire and politly asked where he was flying to. I forget the system he said, but it started with a "D". So we waved him goodby and turned off our warp and stasis distruptors. That is when he began to fly towards the gate which was about 110km away at a easy 300 speed... most refer that as "slowboating". A very easy target. Our fleet commander then recommended the pilot to fly at a certain celestial so he could quickly warp back and also avoid our bubble. So what did he do? He warped back right where he came from, and then back... right into our bubble. First chance was free, but second was a free trip to wherever he was cloned.
About an hour or so later, we began to recieve reports of activaty in the next system. A pirate gang had entered, and was being followed by a friendly corporation. They shot by our camp and warped off to the next gate. During the commotion one of the pirate ships, a Dramiel, began to accelarate towards us at attack speed. Our fleet commander quickly gave the order for us to warp at our tactical bookmarks and wait it all out, as we were outgunned by the Dramiel's friends if they decided to help out. One of our recon pilots stayed in the area cloaked to watch.
Now this is when things got interesting. Some time later the Dramiel pilot warped back... into our bubble. Then he dropped his own can in front of our bubble and hard burned off grid according to our scout. Curious, we watched and waited. A few minutes later he returned. With about 3 Hounds, a Manticor, and a Heretic. Then the Dramiel plopped himself in our bubble and the rest of the ships cloaked about 30km from him. They began to get a few kills. Unfortuently for us, we were loosing a good portion of our own pilots due to their sleep cycles coming up. In the end, it was 2 instructors and myself. So with nothing to loose, one of the instructors went back to his station and grabbed his own stealthbomber. While watching the ambushes, our scout had a fair idea where the pirates were.
Unfortuntly, when our instuctor returned, his systems were not completly configured. So when he told his vessel to cloak up, it fired a bomb. Oh well... that could have been thought of as our mighty sound of order. Eventually, he got aimed and he fired. He was too low from his potential targets. Next one after he reloaded was too high. That was when he decided to call it a night and return home. I continued to float peacefully out in my safespot and watched time go by as I started to listen to music I recently found on the Galnet. After 20 minutes, the pirates got bored with their lack of preys and left the system. That was when I called it a night and proceded to spend my time asleep in my pod out in space.
It was fun, and a different pace from that of the classes. I was able to rack up my kills to 5 vessels aside from my own fights against Neka. Now, during this I was talking to an old friend from another past. She called me a pirate because I was gatecamping. I would not think a pirate would have let that Black Frog pilot go and would have simply shot on sight just for the easy killmail. We were nice and gave him the opportunity to live. If anyone, it was the ones who decided to take advantage of our work and take over our own gatecamp.
I would rather think that our gatecamp is there to be a wakeup call for those who live in null security space... be them new or experianced pilots. We are there to catch them when they don't pay attention to their surroundings and what is on their directional scanner. The outcome is them loosing their ship, as if they don't pay attention, they must not be that responsible of a captain. The death of their crew is on their lack of attention or experiance. It is to help us be aware of other pilots too and pay attention to our own scanners. It's all traning that in the end, made us feal good about what we learned. Hopefully those caught wont make the same mistakes.
