Some days are better than others PT 2

So after a short break, the crew was re-shipped into a 5 man gang as we lost hit nrun for the night. prophesy (fit for gate gun tank), cyclone,hurricane,drake,thrasher. and we jumped on our usual hang out gate while we debated our fleet status, roaming or camping after a few slow minutes on our minor pipe gate into low sec, we hopped over to the offikatlin through-way into tabbetzur and points 0.0 beyond.

Our scout reported a 5 man gang in tabbetzur headed our way , onyx, hurricane hurricane, sacrilege, Falcon.

The onyx came through, and jumped to our gate at 0, and held position....

Knowing the odds, I called a no go, and decided to hold position rather than jump.
of course the fleet was edgy and wanted to fight, so i acquiesced, thinking maybe we could take the onyx before the rest arrived, evening out the numbers a little bit.. 5 on 4 would have been ok ( by now i had forgotten that one of us was in a destroyer...)

gateguns? who was thinking about gate guns, as i dipped into deep armor, the gank squad was well on their way by now, and the onyx to our credit was already tank broken, but gate guns.. dammit! i forgot about gate guns, and ordered a withdrawal.. no point on the bait ship WTF ?? lucky day i called and we all warped off, of course we had a Global and couldn't leave system now ... so i ordered a web warp, all 5 of us, warping to 5 different locations in the system then 5 more different locations including safe spots... trying to get everyone organized till we could regroup, i ordered random warps, warp to me (while in warp) and keep moving, they will be scanning for us.

Aaramon... at a safe spot, managed to collect himself some wife aggro... I know right? so he went afk for a few minutes... just long enough, the pack of ships converged on the hurricane, and the cyclone who had just arrived at safe, the drake and prophecy were in warp, and the thrasher, not having a cooldown was long gone through a gate and in station. we decided to sacrifice the hurricane to a bad choice, and continue moving on, but thats not really how the group rolls.. cyclone opened fire with the hurricane, drake landed at optimal and opened fire on primary... all were lost... prophecy landed from warp as the cyclone went down, and decided to save the corp the money, and not warp in for a heroes defense...

The roam ... pretty much ended after that down six ships, no kills and a whole lot of bruised morale.
