Haven't read it yet, and it doesn't seem to be in the main chronicles section yet, but here it is, Enemies Closer.

For those who have read it.

[spoiler]Isn't Blaque a capsuleer? I'm pretty sure Louella has one of his clone corpses in her possession. Makes an assassination pretty pointless no?[/spoiler]


Otherwise, great read. Gal/Cal stuff is always fun to read.

The closed bracket is missing from the link for some odd reason. Try http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Enemies_Closer_(Chronicle)

And there was much grimdark.

I am hoping they go somewhere with some of the revelations in this chronicle, though, and not just leave them hanging as one of those "well, who can we finger as having mysterious connections to advance our plot today" things.

I liked this one.  8)

However, I'm not clear on why the hit was called off.

Well, I've been thinking about this one a bit actually.

Assuming that Blaque is a capsuleer (or has otherwise taken advantage of softscan technology), then yes, the shooting would not permanently end him, merely put him a few weeks out of the loop at best and annoy him at worst. Whichever it is, it's a sure bet it would send a serious and worrying message to the Federation - the State would be saying "We can deposit agents carrying significant weaponry into your capital cities and assassinate your to people." That's a scary concept, even if it might not actually even be that hard on Blaque himsel.

However, when the possibility that Blaque wields significant influence in CONCORD - enough to more or less singlehandedly lead the charge to push a major bill through - one must also consider that even if merely inconvenienced, Blaque is likely to be seriously pissed by any assassinations, and might use his not-insignificant influence at CONCORD to squeeze the State further. Hence, figuring out how to deal with that takes precedence over immediately killing Blaque.

Cael: Unless Blaque being a capsuleer is something that came up in Templar One, I think you're confusing him for Jacus Roden.

Lagging Behind

Morwen's Law:
1) The number of capsuleer women who are bisexual is greater than the number who are lesbian.
2) Most of the former group appear lesbian due to a lack of suitable male partners to go around.
3) The lack of suitable male partners can be summed up in most cases thusly: interested, worth the air they breathe, available; pick two.

The news never lies;)

That said, I've seen it mentioned many times that he was in fact a capsuleer. However, I do not have first hand confirmation of this. It does bring up some questions and answers many more if he is not.

Some nub who named his char 'Mentas Blaque' to prove how lax CCP are about blocking PF namespace, does not make Mentas Blaque a capsuleer.

Jeez people.
