EVE: Backplot

One of the things I rather like about EVE Online is the very dark morality to it. Oh, and the fact that it has nice backplot.
The character you play, is one of the elite. The pod pilots who can control ships, almost unaided. The 'pod' allows unprecedented control of fleet ships, and the origins of which are described in the Jovian Wetgrave short story.

Which leads to a lovely short chronical, called The Hands of a Killer. The pod elite, are cyber-psychotic. Effectively immortal, and transcending 'normal' human boundaries, leads to quite a chronic degredation of morality.

And it makes for some beautiful roleplay :)

Beer

In a somewhat futile attempt to alter reality, I shall be occupying some space in the Beer Engine this evening.

This may or may not intersect with a cunning plan to get food at Habibi's.
