Stealthy Salutation

 A statue will be created. It will be to recognise and honour the contributions of Rixx Javix to the greater New Eden demesne.

This is a statue with uncommon characteristics:

- The statue will spawn in a new low-sec system every time it is re-discovered

- It will show up on D-scan as an undefined anomaly

- When a pilot warps towards the anomaly within 150 kilometres they will be pointed and scrambled

- On closer inspection the anomaly reveals itself as a statue of Rixx Javix

- The statue can be interacted with, a pilot can donate 1 PLEX to the statue

- On offering one PLEX:

    - any neutralising effects on the ship are disabled

    - Rixx Javix will sing Gloria Gaynor’ “I will survive” in the fashion of Wombo.ai

    - When the song is completed the pilot will receive one Warp Core Stabiliser, as a token for how much importance they have for Rixx Javix

    - The sequence completed the statue will despawn after 10 minutes and appear in a different low-sec system as an undefined anomaly

- Proceeds of any PLEX donations will be sent to the children’s hospital in Reykjavik

- A simple counter will keep track of how many times pilots have contributed PLEX

- No pilot will be forced to spend PLEX. They will simply be able to cruise out of the field of influence of the statue until they are out of reach of the effects it has on the environment immediately surrounding it. They want to keep in mind that this can put them at a tactical disadvantage if other pilots have noticed their presence and choose to engage

This statue, like all others dedicated to pilots so recognised, serves to honour the respective pilots and to inspire others to contribute to New Eden’s rich quilt of lore and history in the same vein.
