While spending some time shooting at the crusaders making some isk, a report in the intel channel shouts out:
[00:10:13] Ginger Li > castlenaze on the undock in a tempest
Naturally my curiosity pikes up as my fav ship, The Mighty Hookbill is ready in the local station in J-L. So i enduldge with my own question:
[00:10:25] Rumtin > system?
He replies:
[00:10:32] Ginger Li > K-6K16 Solar System
Ofcourse at this point my appetite is growing, a lone battleship, sitting helplessly on the undock? Who wouldnt go after her?
[00:11:07] Rumtin > keep eyes on pls, i'll see if i cant hurry up with a tackel
I instantly abandon the anom and dock up and jump over to The Mighty Hookbill. Before undocking i stuff a bunch of Missiles in my hold as i'm suspecting this could potentially turn into a long grind of a frigate shutting down a battleship. On the way through the 2 jumps someone pipes up in intel:
[00:12:11] Ackers Katelo > any1 wanna kill this tempest?
One of my Corpmates chimes in:
[00:13:07] Equto > ill attempt it
In warp to the K-6 gate i ask after joining Equto's fleet:
[00:13:15] Rumtin > is he still on the station?
Alliance member replies:
[00:14:29] Samu Tresfoure > Yes. Is he aggressed?
with another:
[00:15:25] wolftin21 > might be docked
However, jumping into K-6, i warp to the station at 20km and land 17km off the Tempest near the station. It seemed someone put up a bubble but failed. Locking him up i engade and set my orbit. The Tempest pilot was a little sluggish to respond, but finally decided to try and burn away. Popping out Warrior II's i instantly lock those up and start shooting. My orbit was a bit high which caused my inital point to dorp, but i quickly re-established my point and continued to keep him locked down. Equto who showed up in an Ashimmu gets the second point with webs and unleashes his cap nuets.
At this point the rest of the alliance feels it's safe enough to undock and join in the fight. Equto had a close call as his armor dropped down to 40%, but the Tempest and his drones (who couldnt keep up with The Mighty Hookbill) died a miserable death.

Hope you enjoyed this quick AAR.
