Probably the same as what I would do when I retire, living in solitude on some remote location in Intaki, studying the Ida faith and hopefully become an Idama. Or if my previous career was any indication, I'd probably continue being a hitman for the Intaki Syndicate until I got a bullet to my head.

My father always wanted a simple life for me. He never wanted me to get into the "family business" of being a mercenary. When he died he was actually working on getting my family a place in a colony in Intaki Syndicate lands. He liked to tell me about all the things I could accomplish with the fresh start he was going to provide us all.

Truth be told, I never wanted that though. I grew up outside of the State so naturally I was drawn to the happenings in more populated regions like The Forge. I fell in love with the entertainment and never really got over it. I always wanted to be a Splinterz operator, though these days I feel like I would make a pretty good Mind Clash player. If I can recreate half the things I see in my dreams then my opponents wouldn't stand a chance.

Mind Clash is probably one of my favorite things to watch. What is Splinterz about?

I think a lot of us younger mercs...I'm assuming you're around my age of 21...have gone against our parents wishes.

What would you be doing right now? What kind of job would you have? What would you spend your free time doing?

Hmm.... what would I be doing?

I would've gone deep into the unknown parts of our galaxy and find a remote, out of the way planet and live there in solitude to... think about everything and observe nature.

What would you be doing right now? What kind of job would you have? What would you spend your free time doing?

I'm not sure what I would be doing to be honest, I don't really call myself a mercenary but I get your point, I would perhaps be somewhere on Mehkios, or in the Sarum Prime system working perhaps some industrial job, perhaps security, visiting the great chapels of Sarum Prime, perhaps I would have had time to go on a pilgrimage, or met a woman and raised a family.

Such things are beyond me now and I do not dwell on them.

You were a hitman?! That's kinda cool and kinda scary. Remind me not to get on your bad side. :P

I think a lot of us younger mercs...I'm assuming you're around my age of 21...have gone against our parents wishes.

A religious pilgrimage? Like a mecca? You seem like a father figure type. I might not agree with your views or religion, but I can sense a strong father like quality to you. You never know though! A kid can be in your future.

It was not a profession I chose, it was something I had drifted towards when I ran away from home as a teenager and started living on my own. It's a rather lengthy story.


I was 16 when I ran away from home, and at the time I was really impulsive, impatient and inconsiderate. I believe that I had become what I am right now after I had started taking hitman contracts, it took some, practice to keep yourself unattached and impassionate towards your targets. Right now I'm 32, and judging by my career I'm going to be retiring before I turn 35.

Do tell! I love a good story.

I understand those impulsive, impatient and inconsiderate ways. I think all teens are like that. I only recently became a merc three years ago when I was twenty one, but even then my decision was a quick one. I didn't even think about it. Just signed up.I think I got tired of living with my friend and working at the local club.

Why retire though?

I have a daughter in a sense.

Satja, the Vherokior servant who attends me, I have been a Templar for going on six years now, she isn't all that much younger that I was when I became an immortal, talks about fighting as a Kamieras a little too much.

.... if my previous career was any indication, I'd probably continue being a hitman for the Intaki Syndicate until I got a bullet to my head.

@Denak: Everything happens for a reason I guess. Dying over and over again is extremely tiring and some are...gruesome to say the least.

It appears we may have a few things in common, Mr. Kalamari.

That did seem likely to begin with, of course.

@True Adamance: Well at least you're watching over someone.

Yes. She is the reason I am so adamant about the treatment of Matari slaves within the Empire. More than once have I had to deal with those more divergent and brutal slavers, each time they have been relieved of their charges and chave had them passed onto someone more worthy.

I would probably be dead.

I was the first born in a Ni-kuni family with a 2nd brother who wanted control of the family workshop. He tried to kill me before. After that i decided to become a merc. If I wasn't accepted i would probably be dead

Mainly the workshop but of course you know our parents favored me more. He was sometimes yelled at for something i did even if i told my parents other wise. Eventually his hate grew and he put a hit on me. Its funny I am always fighting for isk but when i think about it he probably would of been a savage merc if he was strong enough. Wanting to kill his older brother over the profits from the workshop. I wonder if i would get in trouble if i ever attacked him. To see his face coward from the plasma smashing through the wall next to his head.

Brothers! And random sisters floating around. Recently on board an ancient Jovian space station, I found a video from long lost Earth!

Behold! What I would do if I were not a merc. (I'm Interior desiger) Video via the merc datalinks.

You know that there are probably no surviving Jovian space stations in known New Eden space right? Even if there were it would be impossible for us to find them...

If the Amarr Empire succeeds in subduing its adversaries then soon enough they will march towards the Jovian's territory to conquer it.

The speculation about our origins is just that, speculation. I don't know what you're babbling about with this "Earth" you speak of, and all the theories that claim all races have a single point of origin are declared questionable at best in the lack of concrete evidence. Not to mention that all Jove stations are gone from the known space, and all access to Jove space is restricted from us. I don't know where you got that holoreel from, but I doubt it's from the place you claim it to be.

Wait you've been in a wormhole since becoming a clone soldier? Were did you get the ship? Or was this while you were a bounty hunter?

((not bad effort. We NEED more Minmatar here.))

Yeah ive been in a wormhole as a clone soldier i was onboard a egger ship that i know the pilot of, I was lucky the pilot was prepared i did not have to add rapid decompression and frozen to my list of this has killed me, it was a short stay but would definatly go back some day i hope to board one of those constructs see what is in them, Iam guessing more questions than answers.

That's sad. Glad all I have to worry about it not timing my jumps to get away from an enemy or getting stuck and not being able to evade them.

Ha we definitely have it easier than capsuleers. I cab admit that.

Yeah they have to wait months and months just to train into certain skills. At least we get it depending on how well we do in a battle.

Wow, I didn't even think about that... I know the pay is apparently huge for joining a capsuleer's crew, but with stuff like this to consider, why the heck would you do it? Also who gives them life insurance? The rates must e a b****.

I like to think that every person who has ended up lost in wormhole space found themselves in some kind of cosmic lost and found and are all having a tea party or something surrounded by lost races, talking cats, and giant birds with the faces of men.

You smoking the Minmatar herbs again?

Naw I'm just messing.

Makes me want some now. :/

Not that I wouldn't enjoy seeing that.

And that, right there, is how they've been undermining State society.

What would you be doing right now? What kind of job would you have? What would you spend your free time doing?

Be making video games for people in New Eden or Amarrian royalty, A scholar, A traveling nomad, EVE pilot maybe, poltitician, a friend to the Jove (why not), politician, peace negotiater, in Concord, A Black Eagle member. Many good decisions to pick from

No The Jove are still alive last I checked they're dieing but not dead if they all were, all the 4 Empires would've ransacked & warred over what was left behind & be FFAARR more advanced then they are currently

I meant the race isn't extinct.... also The Jove united with The 4 Empires to fight The Nation as well, The Jove would probably if in they're last moments before extinction (if that happens) would simply force The Nation out because the Jove are OP enough & I'm sure The Jove would prefer The 4 Empires to ransack they're extinct race then The Nation anyway....

That was some time ago. I don't believe the Jove are strong enough... what do you know of the Nation? They have nearly the same level of technology as the Jove militarily, they have nearly unlimited number of True Slaves, either the Jove are allowing the Nation to hold some of their systems...which I find highly unlikely as you said they united the empires against Sansha, or they have been bested and the Nation now holding Jove space.

Do we know for a fact that they are in Jove space and not wormhole space? Could that have merely been a remote outpost for the Jove that they didn't consider worth defending, or maybe been abandoned? Not that it would be any better if those were sleeper stations.

((I don't know where to look for the report and have only gotten a hold on bits and pieces of the story))

Read the reports issued by CONCORD, we know that there was a Sansha's Nation Fleet in space around a Jovian out post. If the Jove were so mighty they would wipe out the Nation themselves....they have not.... something is amiss in that region of space.

The Jove aren't OP, the Reapers are OP.

Wonder what would happen in EVE if everyone had to fight The Reapers? battle of epic proportion
