Zela Kahn a known miner born to a family of Jin-Mei of the Gallente Federation was always a Kahn. Her father had taught her everything he knew of his once proud blood line, everything he wanted her to know. In the end the old man died a stubborn fool leaving behind nothing but debt and a trail of red tape the last Kahn of her blood line would have to deal with or ignore all together.
718[15:53:22]- running out of time Kahn.
ZK[15:55:23]-Tell me about it…
718[15:55:30]-they made that clear boss, vacate the area or every ship under our control is a war target.
The Kahn had no notion of retreat until there was nowhere else to go that their reputation would no follow them, bringing the fights of old into a world of new. Zela Kahn was the first of her her name, perhaps even the first of her kind to negate the feats of her entire race and blood line, her voice was determined and her mind set. “ We go underground, even in space if we have to , I don’t care if it meets community standards or some idiot code of conduct, as I sure as hell don’t care if CCP and Concord get their PiG Bots on me. Cause you are gonna need a shit ton of trekkies and star wars fanatics to find me, not to mention a Yoda Vox Caster.”
Her fleet had been disbanded by the mission’s management earlier that day as the prepared to undock for another week of ice harvesting on the most important of ice weeks. “Shark Week” they named the event that came about every year or so during the summer, the best fleets went out and bought back trillions of cubes cut and ready to be reprocessed for PoS fuel.
That had all changed in the blink of an eye.
ZK-what you need!
Months of an interplanetary eclipse for the ages to come and the price of ice cubes rockets sparking a small gold rush and skirmishes amongst the local corps as they scrambled to deploy station after station in the orbits of the frozen over celestial bodies. Zela Kahn an aspiring CEO in charge of maintaining what was left of her fathers and forefather’s legacy has taken to harvesting the ice floating in space in order to avoid the majority , a sign that the gold of the old men were ever present even here. Zela didn’t care so much for myth and the philosophy that had been hammered into her head. Instead she listened to loud music, drank from her fathers aged wine rack and when the decks had been scrubbed she spray painted a childish shark fin on a smiling face. The fleet grew and shrank, outriders filled many of the gaps left by incursions and in the time of great AFK Kahn would resort to solo mining regardless. The day came when mining in high security space meant very little, the Dust campaigns had been declared and it was rumored even Concord could not prevent weapons form being smuggled into stations. The outrider was named Woody and he was as queer as any other of sellships and free lancing pilots with their Mohawk hair cut. He was a silent guy sober and loud a drunk, boasted a two year military run in god knows where bumbfuck and claimed to be an expert bomber. He walked in to the cabin of the newly established captains quarters after Kahn had been told of the Guristas offensive, how her outposts had been destroyed and abandoned. Time slowed if just for a few seconds as the man in the navy grey trench coat grabbed the modified Desert Slug .50, irradiated shells with anti-coagulating heads. The maker of the weapon and fit-probably unidentifiable, these sort of weapons are the mark of an artist, a writer, a poet with his hands and mind he was able to craft a weapon so deadly it ripped the flesh of any organic thing clean off. He knew the bullet was meant to kill a rare person. The shot rang and the echo was hollowed out by the security breach alarm on board the station. A corpse lay mangled on flour, stomach half in and half out and all over the walls, the blood that had sprayed of the corps was charred black and splattered at a great velocity from end to end. The killer had been a professional privateer; a shot to the stomach to the later identified the face of the victim as due to some chemical in the round the body had started to decay at an alarming rate. The body belonged to a certain Ralph “Sig’booty” of the Kahn’s trade network, pronounced dead on site
