A Skiff Is Not a Permit, Part 3

Previously, on MinerBumping... Hek resident Neuromancer X carefully concealed his mining permit and violated the Code. After Agent Alt 00 ganked his Covetor as punishment, Neuromancer removed the permit from his bio and took shelter in a heavily tanked Skiff. He challenged our Agent to gank him again.


Alt 00 returned to Hek with a fleet and began eliminating Skiffs one after another.


The miners were shocked and humbled by the unexpected demonstration of New Order firepower.


...And no one was more upset than Neuromancer himself.


Neuromancer rejected the timeless wisdom of the Code in favor of a tanked Skiff's EHP buffer. Only now did the enormity of that mistake dawn on him.


When he'd first undocked in his precious Skiff, Neuromancer was defiant. He invited Alt 00 to try ganking him, and he even even told Alt 00 which asteroid belt he was mining in at the time. Never tempt an Agent. Neuromancer's attitude underwent a dramatic transformation after the gank.


Alt 00 had shown incredible generosity toward the miner. She'd offered to restore Neuromancer's mining permit, free of charge. Neuromancer chose to spend a bunch of money on a Skiff instead.


Neuromancer's world came crashing down around him. He treated the Hek trade hub to a public temper tantrum.


New Order Agents say that miners should obey the Code. Rebels and skeptics say that miners should fly a tanked Skiff instead. Neuromancer followed the advice of our enemies. The results were put on display for all to see.


Plenty of highsec dwellers enjoy seeing people oppose the New Order. But it's hard for anti-Code sentiment to gain traction when it's coupled with an embarrassing killmail. Results matter.


It was only natural that public opinion began to shift in favor of the New Order and the Code.


If Anti-Gankers and tanked Skiffs can't protect a miner, why not give the Code a chance?


Alt 00 still cared about the miner. She's always willing to go the extra mile for anyone who buys a permit, even if they fall short of perfection later. Neuromancer knew he'd been lied to by the pro-Skiff crowd, but he was too humiliated to go back to the Code. Could our Agent manage a last-minute rescue, or would Neuromancer descend more deeply into the abyss?

To be continued...

  7. Randy's features were highlighted in the darkness by the glow from the screen as he concentrated on kicking my ass at Mortal Kombat. His blonde hair framed his face, just a little long and unruly. His face was beautiful and becoming more masculine by the day. I thought they complemented my more delicate and feminine features, but would never admit that. My heart fluttered as it always does when I look at him this way, one of my many secrets. I flipped my shoulder length dark hair out of my big blue eyes and turned back to the screen hitting combinations as fast as I could to fend him off.

    Randy was my best friend and he was spending the night at my place. We both just turned 18, adults now, but it still felt like we were kids. We were on the couch pull out bed in my living room, my Mom upstairs either sleeping or reading. Randy finished me off as he always does with a devastating combination resulting in huge block letters "FATALITY".

    Randy almost always picked Scorpion or Raiden as his character. He also almost always won. I always played Jade, a female character. She's just so beautiful, I like being her for just a bit. Randy gave up teasing me about my picking female characters in video games years ago. I think he liked looking at them too.

    "I'm done." He said matter of factly and setting down his controller.

    "Me too." I replied with a sigh of defeat.

    "Is it time yet?" he asked.

    "Yeah, should be." I said looking at the clock on the wall. It was past 11:30, when the soft core porn came on the premium channels.

    I went and checked the stairs to make sure my Mom's door was closed. It was. I ran over and switched to TV and made sure to turn the volume down. There was a softcore skin flick on already and two impossibly beautiful people were going at it on the screen.

    Randy and I were shirtless in our PJ bottoms and sitting cross legged on the bed. Our mouths hung open and I could immediately feel my cock growing. It wasn't as good as when I got hard in panties, but the fact that Randy was there with me and probably getting hard too made it really exciting.

    You see I was Randy's best friend, but I was also completely in love with him. I wanted to be his girl fried so badly. OK, so that is weird, I am a boy right? I still couldn't help thinking of it that way.

    I should also clarify the panties thing. I like to dress like a girl when I can. My Mom actually knows and she bought be some stuff so I would stop going through hers. We're a pretty liberal family that way, just me and my Mom.

    Randy's family wasn't the same. His parents were religious and very conservative. They instilled in him such a fear of everything he swore he didn't even masturbate because he was afraid of going to hell. I didn't have any such compunction. I pleasured myself all the time, mostly thinking about Randy.

    It was because of this conservatism that I had a hard time getting him to agree to watch porn with me. He tended to avoid things that made him horny because he'd get frustrated. I was really hoping tonight I could give him some relief. Both of us talked about girls all the time, but neither of us really had any prospects of actually dating anyone.
