Special Report by Edgegamers Action Reporter Zelda McCoy.
A simple trip out to the Eve Gate turned into quite an event... because this is Eve Online, and anything is possible.
The Eve Gate, in case you've been in cold storage for the last five thousand years, just so happens to be the collapsed wormhole that stranded all us Capsuleers in New Eden. It can still be seen, deep in the lawless stretches of our new home, and Edgegamers Corporation decided to go take a peek.
The trip was pretty uneventful, until Johnny Rah, a noob with a way too expensive ship (a Navy Megathron full of expensive loot) started talkin' smack in local. Our scout got caught in his guns, but was able to easily evade. Johnny thought he was the bees knees... until the other 14 frigates and cruisers in the fleet warped in on him. He dashed off and hid, constantly challenging GardengroveVW to a "one on one battle." We finally warped away to leave Garden alone... only for the noob to claim "wife aggro" and warp off to a safe. Details can be found in Gardengrovevw's profile ingame.
We went and saw the sights. The Eve Gate is quite pretty, and impressive looking. Here's a shot of a Rifter orbiting the Eve Gate Star, looking at the collapsed wormhole:

We also got a look at the Black Monolith in the Dead End system:
We decided to make our way home... and were ambushed by professional pirates. They bottled us up in station, and demanded a ransom of 2 million per member. They had many Battlecruisers and heavy ships, all waiting for us to undock. GardengroveVW called in some outside assets (who shall remain anonymous) to help scope out the enemy. Our very own FallenDream09 ducked in and out of the two exit systems, scanning out the bad guys and tracking their movements. In the process, he dodged a Harbinger, a Hurricane, deftly avoided 3 very aggressive anti-covert ops probe ships, barely escaped a Dominix deploying smartbombs, and even evaded a Taranis fit with Railguns, all in an effort to keep us updated on the enemy whereabouts. When a hole appeared in their offensive line, our entire fleet of 15 ships undocked and warped to high security space, with seconds to spare. Our in-system spy reported that they blundered about a bit, trying to find the "noobs" who outsmarted them at their own game.
It's safe to say, we wouldn't have made it back without the efforts of FallenDream and Garden's ingame contacts. Excellent work, people!
All in all a successful, exciting run. We got to see the sights, got to give a true noob a run for his money, got some choice quotes for our profile pages, and even outfoxed a gang of players with a criminal record as long as the Monolith is high (and even got 350~ items worth of market data uploaded to Eve Metrics along the way!).
Don't miss out on the next run! PM any Edgegamers Corporation member (Look for the EVE Forum tag) with your email address, and we'll send you a buddy invite worth 21 days, and you can be in a low sec roam in less than 24 hours! (Really!)
