So earlier in the evening Dek had found a WH in Gidali and in the w-system a pos and in the pos a navy raven.
So a gang of recons + sleip quickly started running to the system while Dek kept eyes on the CNR. The gang held one out in palas and Knifeette jumped to the WH to poke about.
After a little while the it became obvious that although the guy was online he wasn't active so Dek and the rest of the gang went to look for another WH with people to shoot in, and Knifeette kept watch at the pos.
So some more time passes, another WH is found, Knifeette jumps out caus the CNR hasn't moved once and I go AFK.
About an hour later, I come back to hear that the gang has killed another CNR .
The gang is wondering what to do, so I decide to go have a look at the original CNR again. As I warp to the pos I find the CNRs pilot in a buzzard dropping probes just outside the pos. So he active and scanning down something. I hope its an exploration site that hes gonna use that CNR to complete.
So hes there for a while, but that's ok caus our gang is moving back to gidali. After a while the buzzard warps off, goes off scanner, I add the guy to my buddie list worried that hes logged. Then hes back, and swaps to the CNR. Things are looking good.
More time spent watching the CNR, his hardeners get turned on, but hes still not moving.
Then a Prorator warps to the pos, followed by a crane. Nothing much is going on, both indys have moved to the ship maintenance array, the CNR is still sat still, our gang is hanging at the top station 1jump out in Palas.
Then, one of the indy pilots jumps out of his ship, I figure hes gonna get in one of the others but he starts heading to the edge of the pos. I scroll out a bit to see where hes going and notice that there is an Onyx 125KM off me, and its way outside the POS bubble. I hit approach on knifeette and i hit dock on knifee, 30sec to get out of my pilgrim. Then I remember that I never did get around to training Heavy Dictors.
I shout on vent who can fly an Onyx. Nath can, Dek can. I say there is an onyx out of the pos and its a race to get it.
Dek is docking behind me now to get into his pod, Nath is warping to the WH but hes in his Falcon, i'm undocking in my pod and warping to the gate.
Knifeette is about 50km off the onyx, the pod coming to collect it from the pos is 50km off knifeette. Nath says hes jumping out of his Falcon, and jumping his pod in.
Knifee warps to the Falcon, Nath warps to the closest planet to the onyx. Then Knifeette is only 4km off the ship, 15km from its owner and Nath warps. Lands at 5km and jumps in. The pos starts shooting, but doesn't Scram in time to stop him warping out.
1 free Hictor, thx very much. Nath complains its not very setup.
Nath chats to them a little in local.

So Nath gets back to the WH and bubbles, knifeette watches the POS, Knifee cloaks in the falcon and the rest of the gang holds.
The CNR pilot is back in the buzzard, combat probes are out. Nath goes to a planet.
A few moments later and a vulture warps off the pos, it and the buzzard have warped to Nath at the planet and started agressing. Knifee jumps and warps to Nath, starts jamming the vulture as a nighthawk arrives on grid. Nath is jammed by ECM drones, but that doesn't help them much caus the bubble is up and the gang is dropping on grid.
Points and jams are called and soon the ships are going down, pods are allowed to warp in the hope that they will go back to the pos and collect another ship.
At the pos the buzzard pilot is back and in his CNR again but he doesn't move, they log a basilisk on but don't warp it, cant blame them really.
So in the end only 3ships and a pod, but 4 very satisfying kills. _________________

The moments trying to reach the onyx were dramatic. i dropped 7.3km off the Onyx. Wasnt within boarding range, the other guys' POD was like 10km away from me, on the other side of the onyx though, so he was cloooooooose.
i was spamming approach and board-ship like mad, screaming like a mad japanese girl over vent and IM IN !! WOOT!! Fast look, crappy fitting with an active tank, bleh and i start warping off while activating hardener and shield booster as the POS started shooting.
Was pure awesomeness ![Very Happy](images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif) _________________

Nice stuff . Seems that this adventure was quite costly for them, I see nighthawk had t2 rigs fitted. _________________ XaTraS9th / Theijuiel
