This is something I thought would be a fun and interesting for me thing to write. It's actually based on a real event. I met my girlfriend over World of Warcraft, and the first time we met we spent a weekend in a hotel in Stockholm where she lives. This is the last minutes we had together at the train station before I left with the train to go home to Denmark, translated into the EVE Universe :)

"I love you. I'll come back for you. Next time I come here, it will be permanent, okay?", Mick said to her as they were standing at the outskirts of the docking area. A tear appeared in the corner of his eye. "I promise.".
Katja looked at him and wiped the tear from his chin. "I know baby. I know. I'll think about you every day.".
She smiled at him, he could see how she was trying to keep the tears in. He hugged her, holding her tight in his arms. "I wish I never had to let go.".
"You have to. But this is not a goodbye, you know? It's just a "see you later", she said as she winked and smiled at him. "I love you with every fiber of my body, and I'll be waiting here for the day you return.". She kissed him as she patted him on the back. "You have to get going. Think of me when you're out there. I'll miss you.".
"I'll miss you too. I'm coming back as soon as this is over, I promise!", He turned around and started walking towards the maintenance bay where his Wolf class assault frigate was being checked one last time before departure.
"Wait honey, wait!". He turned around to see the love of his life come running towards him. "I want you to have this, it'll keep you safe and remind you of me, and what you're fighting for.". She placed something in his hand and he looked at it. It was the necklace she had worn on the first picture he'd seen of her. He kissed her and smiled "I'll be back before you know it.".
He felt a presence behind him. "Sir, the ship is loaded and ready.". It was the mechanic he had hired to check and maintain his frigate in the week that he had spent at the station with Katja. He turned around. "Give me a moment.".
As he turned back to face Katja all she said was "Go. I'll be here.". She had that look in her eyes again, that look of certainity and respect. Respect for what he did, and certainity that nothing would go wrong.
He nodded and smiled, turned around and started walking towards his ship with the mechanic.
"Damn, buddy. I feel sorry for ya, having to leave a girl like that behind.", the mechanic muttered to him.
"She's worth it.", he replied. "Is the ship fully prepped?", he asked.
"Yes sir, we installed the Microwarpdrive in the ship yesterday and the special delivery you requested has been loaded into the cargohold along with ordinary ammo and nanite paste. I also took the liberty of replacing your ordinary issue 200mm cannons with something a little more hightech aswell as some special ammo. You'll see for yourself once you get in the ship.". The mechanics smile almost went up to his ears.
Mick chuckled: "Can't wait to see it. As long as I can pump Republic Issue Fusion shells into those amarrian bastards I don't care what guns they come out of." .
They both laughed. "You got that right, cowboy. Good luck out there! Give 'em hell!", the mechanic yelled as he turned away and started walking towards the nearby café, leaving Mick to his ship.
"Alright big girl, let's get out of here.", he said as he looked towards the spot where he and Katja had parted ways. She was standing there waving at him. She didn't look upset, she only looked proud.
"I'm coming back for her.", he thought as he boarded his vessel.
He got into the cockpit and made a brief pre-flight check for himself before he switched on his radio and broadcasted a message to the docking command. "Docking, this is Mick Pattons of the Brutor Tribe. Requesting permission to undock a Wolf Class Assault Frigate.".
"Roger that, docking lane 3 is clear. Have a good one.". said Katja's voice on the comms unit.
Micks face went into a broad smile as he proceeded to undock his ship. "I love that girl.".
He slipped his ship out of the station and turned the ship in the direction of the first gate on his route. It was a 24 jump route all the way to the Ossogur system, his personal staging system when he was participating in warfare operations with the Minmatar Republic fleet and his own corporation, the Brutor Tribe.
Back in the station Katja recieved a call from a man who identified himself as Wikumi Pol, CEO of Brutor Tribe.
"Hello miss, do you have Mick nearby?", said a voice in the comms unit.
Katja replied "No sir, he just left the station 15 minutes ago.".
"Ah, damn that kid! Can't reach him on his comms unit.", said the voice with a heavy sigh. "Probably turned it off in flight. Again.".
"That sounds like my Mick, sir. He was in good shape and left the station in his Wolf shortly ago.".
"That's good to know, miss. I know he won't let us down, we're gonna need every man capable in the upcoming period.".
"He won't let anyone down, sir. He's a good man.".
"Roger that. I'll be expecting him. Thank you miss. Wikumi Pol out.".
The call ended.
