In the Gallente Federation, especially since the formation of the Black Eagles, rumors abound of secret agents dressed in plain clothes using ordinary cameras to record tourists and even common citizens. According to the rumors, these agents are ethnic Gallente, typically wear brightly colored shirts, short pants, sunglasses, and are recording seemingly random and uninteresting scenes for hours at a time. The rumors put these agents at space ports and popular locations across the Federation, even on lightly populated fringe areas. Their true purpose, if they actually exist, is unknown.

 :lol:

Made me laugh. So, if the Feds don't have the typical "men-in-black", what would the Gallente popular culture call these guys?

"Men-in-shirts"?

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.

Well, yeah. Think about all those courier missions when the agent asks a capsuleer to go get their "cigarettes" or move "tourists".

You don't really think that's the full story, do you?

At first  :lol:
Then  :eek:
Finally  :yar:

I honestly think that would be awesome, if the 'tourists' are all undercover agents spying for various entities, unwittingly transported by bored Capsuleers >_>

That idea made my day.

Go run a few courier missions now and think about what you're REALLY doing in those various cases.

"Ancient collector's weapons"? "Payroll records"? Yeah right.

Ah, finally, a rational explanation for all of those missions where one has to transport Kamieras for pre-deployment medical and psychological examinations at RSS and Quafe stations. :)

"Vacationers".

They are Sleeper/Jovian/Enheduanni vacationers. Sansha is also known to rock the occasional Hawaiian shirt. #truefacts
