It's not often that I go out of character, but this occasion demands it.
I would like to take this opportunity to honor the passing of Sean "Vile Rat" Smith - Former GSF Head of the Corps Diplomatique, father, husband, and important internet spaceship pilot.
While I never had the chance to meet Vile Rat in person, I had on one occaision had to speak with him regarding a shoot blues incident, and found him to be one of the nicest people I'd ever met on Eve Online. That he perished a midst such circumstances proves to be a bitter irony. That he died well will be a cold comfort to his wife and two children.
To his family: Would that I were able to do something to ease your pain, but alas, I have only words.
May whatever God you believed in speed your soul to rest. You will be missed.
To the Corps Diplomatique: You've got big shoes to fill.
