'It's good to see you again, Penny Ibramovic.' My agent is always happy to see me, I'd better not tell him about the radioactive waste I just dumped in the station. For some reason there were no buyers on the market, so I had to ditch it somewhere ...

My new agent in EVE Online was happy to see me, as he had reports of a large object in a deadspace pocket causing some sort of problem for the navy. He doesn't have to ask me twice to take care of the situation before I am jumping in ...

It is time to deal with a pirate invasion. This is the kind of straightforward mission I like to get from my agent, and my agent seems keen to offer me this kind of work. Go out and blow up some rats, she says. It takes all ...

In a concentrated effort, I managed to run and complete my first level three mission, The Blockade, before it expired. It took buying and fitting a Drake battlecruiser, several retreats to recharge my shields and repair some scorch marks to my armour, and around 3,000 heavy missiles in total ...

It was quite exciting to find that my standings with the Caldari Navy had increased to the point where I could move on from my high quality level two agent to accept my first level three mission. The level three agent only enjoyed a quality level of -18, but ...
