Whoops! Looks like I missed a posting. What can I say... it's been busy around here lately.
In Episode 2, the group made their way out to the comet where the loot was stashed. There was a little trouble along the way with the sensors, which wasn't noticed until they reached the comet. This forced a bit of a delay while repairs were made. The young man who hired them to retrieve the goods revealed that they could broadcast a certain signal that would cause a transmitter to send out a response allowing them to pinpoint its location. Unfortunately, he couldn't quite remember the numbers needed to send the correct signal.

This is a book self published via Amazon written by a friend of Adviga. She was nice enough to give me one of the two copies she had, and I read it yesterday.
First of all, the book itself. It's a little hard to say exactly what the book is about. It has a strong component of telling about social changes in an alien society (although one that may as well be human). It is also talking about the spiritual journey of a small group of people. The book is really more about a journey than about any specific obstacle or goal.

So, time for an EVE Online update. I promise that this one will be shorter.
Before I get into what I've been up to, I thought I'd mention something in case I inspire anyone to try the game. First of all, they have both a Windows client and a Mac client (system requirements). Secondly, if you want to try it out, let me know. I can give you a 3 week free trial. It's better for you because you get an extra week over the normal trial, and better for me because if you end up buying the game, I get a free month added to my account!
