Welcome to Providence!

Ah... so relaxing. Just a day ratting in Providence. Just arrived yesterday, giving up the old life of piracy. Jump through into next system, find a BS rat on the gate. Smiling knowingly, I begin to approach it at an angle that will minimize damage to my rupture's armor when there is a gate activation behind me.
A Sev3rance Jaguar decloaks. OK, not hostile...
...
Is he targetting me? Shit!
Scrammed, webbed, fuck fuck, not prepared for this. Recall drones, start a convo with the pilot. Only yesterday I had asked a sev3rance pilot whether or not I was red, and had been informed that I, in fact, was not red. Sev3rance is part of the Providence Holders, a NRDS coaliton. So, I shouldn't be getting shot at... right?
I tell him that I don't think that I should be getting shot at, so, he ceases fire for a moment. I'm already back at the jump gate and able to jump out at any time, but I figure that jumping out while he's confirming whether or not I am KOS is something only the guilty would do, so I stay. After a short pause, he resumes fire, stating that since I'm in a one man corp, and my previous corp, the Tuskers, is red, I am therefore red. Well shit. Activate jump gate and warp to the (-7- owned) outpost in system and find that I am still able to dock, so I do so. I go about asking how I can get set blue, and it appears my options are to join a blue alliance or corporation or remain red...
...
I wait and listen to an NPC corp pilot complain about similar treatment, until a portion of the -7- and friends pilots camping my station dock in it, then leave my rupture. Poor guy. In my pod, I make for freedom. Only two jumps to high sec and safety. A couple of ships outside the outpost, a SeBo'd bellicose and a stealth bomber of some design. I warp straight to the gate that will leave me one jump from my escape... No bubble! But mr stealth bomber has followed me. Jump into the next system, visual interface loads.... no bubble! YES! Warp for the high sec gate, and freedom... flip on directional scanner, aim it at the gate. Eris-type interdictor on scan... FUCK. I am so screwed, gonna lose my pod, nooooooo-. I land, already signing my last will and testa-... no bubble? But the eris is right-... suddenly, a freighter lands. It clicks, there's no bubble because the eris pilot didn't want to force the freighter pilot to land off the gate as well. Hah! Jump out to high sec where the police give me their standard greeting, and start warping around, thinking about my options. I just made this new corp, and I don't wanna muck up my employment history.
So: Fuck being blue, I'm not one of their slaves.
