The Orcas of Nakugard, Part 9

Previously, on MinerBumping... Agent Alt 00 rode into Nakugard on a chariot drawn by Taloses. At first the many Orca bots resisted, but eventually they had no choice but to retreat. Alt 00 didn't simply declare victory and go away. She targeted all of the remaining non-compliant miners for destruction.

In time, even the mining barges and exhumers left the system. Alt 00 had to dig deep to find targets. She spotted a blingy Garmur AFK on a stargate and wasted him.

The gank only cost our heroine two Catalysts, anyway. Not bad for a 440 million isk kill.

The Nakugard locals didn't share in Alt 00's joy. They had stood by when our Agent was killing Orcas and Procurers, but now she was killing everything without a permit. They accused her of overreach.

Alt 00 was the law in Nakugard. The locals knew it was pointless to try to out-PvP her. So they argued the law--that is, the Code.

Alt 00 felt sympathy for the locals. For some reason, they were so gloomy and depressed. She offered them an alternative.

More of the Nakugard residents spoke up. They peppered Alt 00 with questions. After all, she was the only one in the system with answers.

In fact, Alt 00 was basically the host of the show. If CCP's community team isn't exactly robust these days, who cares? The Agents of the New Order are the ones who really run things in highsec. And they always engage with the public.

Some of the carebears were getting restless. Luckily, Agent Lewak dropped by to help with crowd control.

For five long days, Nakugard was Orca-free. Word had gotten out about those Talos fleets, it seemed. Alt 00 began to wonder if she'd ever taste another Orca killmail.

Liten kiwi quietly slipped into one of Nakugard's asteroid belts and began mining. She was obviously aware of the possibility that gankers could be on the prowl, so she tanked up. Then Alt 00 dropped eleven Taloses on her head.

Elated, Alt 0 went to the Anti-Ganking channel and reported the good news. Our Agent wondered where Anti-Ganking had been all this time. They hadn't even tried to stop her from ganking, so maybe they needed an invitation. Better yet, they might join in on the fun of ganking. What if they gave up their silly anti-Code heresies and enjoyed EVE for once?

Alas, all they did was ban Alt 0 from the channel.

The anti-Code resistance--like Liten kiwi's Orca--had been broken.
