| 3 | In good ol' New Eden 'twas another fine day. | |
| 4 | The Macks were undocking and warping away. | |
| 5 | Orcas were boosting while freighters did haul. | |
| 6 | The ice belts had spawned, offering riches for all. | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | But one lonely soul brought a Procurer to mine. | |
| 9 | The others all laughed, "You're just wasting time." | |
| 10 | "We're fit for yield, we'll out-mine you quick!" | |
| 11 | But the Procurer wasn't bothered, his skin was too thick. | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | The ice chunks depleted, the Procurer was filled. | |
| 14 | "Look, he's going to the station while we're mining still." | |
| 15 | But the Procurer was fine with the slow mining pace. | |
| 16 | He turned on his hardeners, this wasn't a race. | |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | But a silence had fallen all through the belt. | |
| 19 | The miners were frozen, such a presence they felt. | |
| 20 | Tensions were rising as seconds ticked past. | |
| 21 | When a message in local caused them to gasp. | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | "To the miners of New Eden I'm sorry to say," | |
| 24 | "The mistress of fortune is not smiling this day." | |
| 25 | "I have seen you grow lazy, mining just like a bot." | |
| 26 | "Now the day of reckoning comes, to clear out the rot." | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | Not a moments delay before the wraiths did appear. | |
| 29 | Hellfire rained down, all were stricken with fear. | |
| 30 | "Why is this happening, we're still in highsec!" | |
| 31 | But as Concord arrived there was nothing but wrecks. | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | One ship alone was left on the field. | |
| 34 | The single Procurer was at thirty percent shield. | |
| 35 | The mail icon blinked, what could this mean? | |
| 36 | A message had come, it was from James 315. | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | "Judgement has come, you have passed our harsh test." | |
| 39 | "Your ship is still standing unlike the rest." | |
| 40 | "You sacrificed yield to ensure you survive," | |
| 41 | "Yours is the fit to which others should strive." | |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | "Carry this message as you go on your way." | |
| 44 | "To all of the miners not present this day." | |
| 45 | "The New Order is here, and now you must choose." | |
| 46 | - | "Fit your ship proper, or pay us your dues!" |
| 46 | + | "Fit your ship proper, or pay us your dues!" |
