 +====== Second Solo Kill - TURN SAFETY OFF! ======
 +----
 +//July 13, 2021//
 +
 +I haven't had a kill in nearly seven months, and I've only had one solo kill...until today.  This was just going to be too easy to pass up.
 +
 +In 0.4 space, dscan showed core probes out.  I went about my business and scanned down the three signatures in the system.  Two relic sites, and a wormhole.  I retrieved my probes, cloaked up in my Astero, and took a perch in one of those sites.  Sure enough, a Heron showed up.  I got close, decloaked, deployed drones...and they refused to engage.  What?
 +
 +I cloaked and warped off to collect my thoughts.  Damn it.  My safety was set to green, which prevents me from initiating such attacks.  Ugh.
 +
 +Fixed that, and with little trouble I tracked down the Heron again.  This time, he went down fast to five T2 Hobgoblins.  It was clear he was a newbro.  In my first failed attack, he just sat there, making no attempt to get away.  So...I gave him 2 million isk towards his losses.  Turns out this was the first time he got ganked.

 It seems that nearly all of my kills have been targets of opportunity.  They were just there. It seems that nearly all of my kills have been targets of opportunity.  They were just there.

 +====== Interesting Vexor Kill in a Wormhole ======
 +----
 +
 +//March 27, 2022//
 +
 +I had just entered a wormhole, and after scanning a few anomalies, I noticed a Vexor on dscan.  I recalled my probes.  I didn't want to put out combat probes, so tried to locate him with dscan.  It took a few minutes, but BOOM.  He was attacking cruise missile batteries, so all I had to do was warp within 10km of his target.  How did I know which was his target?  Just by looking at his ship and watching.  He was using blasters and drones.  I approached, and when under 10K, I decloaked, then webbed and scrammed him.  It was easy from there...overheat Scourge Rage HAMs and take him down, lock up his pod and nail it, loot and destroy his ship.  I'll take these targets of opportunity any day!  I wasn't even looking for a kill.
 +
 +After leaving the wormhole, I realized he surely had drones left behind, so I went back and scooped one Ogre II, and of course, his corpse!
