Morning in Gamis, Part 3

Previously, on MinerBumping... Agent Kalorned rolled up his sleeves and ventured into the wildlands of Gamis, which had mostly been untouched by civilization. He deployed weapons against the rebel carebears that they were unable to cope with: bumping and ganking.

Kalorned > Evening Project K2O Huricane Maulerant , are you AFK?

I don't need to tell you what happened three minutes later. I'll just show you.

Two hostile Retrievers, out like a light. Then the silent Huricane Maulerant found his tongue. Isn't it funny how, when a highsec miner dies, that's when he becomes most alive?

Huricane Maulerant > YOU FUCKERS
Huricane Maulerant > I WASS
Huricane Maulerant > Should have known
Huricane Maulerant > FUCK
Poppins Kautsuo > whatd ya loose?
Huricane Maulerant > 2x retrivers
Kalorned > Huricane Maulerant You didn't respond in local when called on

Huricane was furious at Kalorned, but he seemed to direct some of the anger at himself, as well. He "should have known", indeed.

Huricane Maulerant > YOU JUST FUCKERS
Kalorned > This is a violation of The New Halaima Code of Conduct http://www.minerbumping.com/p/the-code.html
Kalorned > Appropriate action was taken
Huricane Maulerant > MAN SUCKS BALLS
Kalorned > Krominal will contact you shortly with more details

The formerly ignorant carebear was filled in on his responsibilities under the Code. We may not be "fuckers", but Agents of the New Order are just.

Many moons ago, legendary miner The Wis expressed suicidal thoughts after losing a dozen Mackinaws in one attack. Huricane's loss of two Retrievers wasn't in the same ballpark, but it was enough to give him a case of the blues. Kalorned provided a sympathetic ear.

Huricane Maulerant > Aww well that happens i guess. I will go kill myself now
Kalorned > That's really not neccesarry
Kalorned > All you need to do for the future is obtain a mining permit
Huricane Maulerant > Nope. You crossed the Line
Poppins Kautsuo > Give me all of your stuff first
Huricane Maulerant > Im over life really, sick of humadity
Huricane Maulerant > God will take me to a better place. :(
Kalorned > Why, because some people enforce the law that you chose to break?

When miners get passive-aggressive and self-pitying, it's important to remind them that they're not helpless. They have the ability to follow the Code and avoid being ganked. Thus, their fate is in their own hands.

Ben Nickfen > there is no law just a group of guys trying to bully isk out of people
Huricane Maulerant > What law did i break?
Kalorned > The law of high SEc - The NEw Halaima Code of Conduct - http://www.minerbumping.com/p/the-code.html
Vaigo Banestrum > I'm actually wondering how big that group is
Kalorned > Vaigo Banestrum decently sized
Huricane Maulerant > You just fucking thugs. Come to nullsec, you wont go there will ya
Ben Nickfen > funny thing is they have a -rating so how can they be enforcing a law
Kalorned > Null Sec doesn't need our help
Kalorned > High Sec does

Despite having been told about the Code just a few minutes earlier, Huricane expressed surprise at being told that he'd broken a law. He was distracted or something, I guess.

If you hang out with a crowd of bot-aspirants, it will have a deleterious, desultory effect on you. If you spend time with an Agent of the New Order, everything about your life will improve. Our goodness has a way of rubbing off on people. Now it was Huricane's turn to benefit.

Huricane Maulerant > Look im not going to lie, i mad.. Not because of the isk loss, Because thugs like you are changing the game
Kalorned > For the better
Kalorned > I agree
Huricane Maulerant > give me some positives of what you are doing?

The miner made a rare confession: He was frightened by the extent of the New Order's impact on the game. Many carebears are disturbed by how much influence we've had. But Kalorned was a trained Agent, and ready to defend the changes we've caused.

Kalorned > We are enforcing a system of honor and integrity amongst high sec miners
Ben Nickfen > making isk for them self lol
Kalorned > Creating a fair rule set for all to play by
Ben Nickfen > bullshit
Jurok Uhmar > dam kalorned still on that shit
Huricane Maulerant > Fuck off
Huricane Maulerant > so full of shit
Kalorned > Its 10m for a permit friend
Kalorned > Keep in mind that it's never too late to become compliant
Kalorned > I eagerly await your conversion to sanity

Faced with the truth, Huricane was still a little skeptical. No problem. Agents of the New Order are never afraid to prove by their actions exactly what kind of people they are.

Kalorned spied a Covetor piloted by Grtiger. Kalorned's spidey-sense went wild. He knew, instinctively, that Grtiger's crimes were a sensitive matter. Only after the punishment was delivered should it be publicized to the rest of Gamis.

Jurok Uhmar > krominal playing with you taylor
Ross Taylor > heads up miners!!!
Ross Taylor > krominal undocked!
MetalWorker Minayin > catalyst undocked

The local hooligans hooted their primitive warning cries. Alas, the warning, falling upon AFK ears, went unheeded.

KABOOM. Grtiger's Covetor revealed a juicy pod, valued by ZKillboard.com at 3.6 billion isk.

Grtiger's covetousness had gotten the better of him. He thought he could take shortcuts by plugging in some expensive implants. He was wrong. In highsec, the New Order has jurisdiction over your brain and every piece of equipment plugged into it. But how would the locals react? Would they call Kalorned a war criminal?

Krominal > Kill: Grtiger (Covetor) Going AFK while mining never pays
Krominal > Kill: Grtiger (Capsule)
MetalWorker Minayin > wow
MetalWorker Minayin > thats a hell of a pod
Poppins Kautsuo > damn, that pod
Action Bronson > nasty
Ross Taylor > +6's on that pod... holy hell
MetalWorker Minayin > yea thats a hell of a kill

Actually, the local miners were impressed. And they softened to the Order, a bit. For many of the brutes, power is the only language they understand. It's a good thing the New Order has plenty of that to spare.

Satisfied by a job well done, Kalorned prepared to retire for the evening. He'd earned a rest.

Of course, when it comes to saving highsec, an Agent's work is never done.
