After Action Report 061710

Mustering primary forces in earnest through the hours leading up to engagement, saw several opportunities for enemy movement, while most of the primary force was out of site, horrible operatives in stealth bombers trailed possible enemy targets in onga, elgoi and eram.

Finding a possible target in eram, the order to enter system and warp to planet VI customs office was given, enemy bestower was collecting his days PI, only Frankenstein was able to respond.

as he entered system, the bestower warped away, with eyes on, warp to IX customs office, the cyclone "Frankenstein" arrived on planet just as bestower began a quick align, and escaped to station.

Falnous >> Haha!

Having exposed their position, elements from Horrible Primary Force moved quickly to set on Order of the Shadow home station 6-2 Eiyfer and Co. where an enemy remained docked, as Falnous fled system and escaped. Shdop Forces were reinforced in station when a second member logged in, and they scouted the system with undock/redock tactics. Frankenstein was supported by Stingray VIII Mk II and Morbid Curiosity remained unseen. with Intel from Aaramon, two more war targets were located in Elgoi one jump over.

"Daywalker" moved into position and started advance recon in Elgoi attempting to asses threat levels from that system. locating one target in 5-6 Eiyfer and Co. "Daywalker" held position 50km off station to watch.

Alerted of the threat level, and prepared, horrible forces held position.

4:44 ST Elgoi station : Daywalker spots Raven undock, and alerts Horrible Forces, The raven begins aligning to Elgoi/Eram Gate.

DayWalker:>> Elgoi gate, Elgoi gate, Darkness, Aaramon and Diamond

Diamond arrived first, followed by aaramon, and Darkness, when 2 ravens uncloaked at the gate. Vicerall and Vindettar,Vicerall was called primary.
the three Battle-cruisers hammered at the Raven shield tanks as drones swarmed and a hellstorm of missiles was unloaded on Aaramon, taking the battle-cruiser down quickly as Vicerall was put into armor. Drones swarmed over Diamonds Morbid Curiosity, and plowed through his flimsy shield, but were held up in the thick layers of armor on the Battle-cruiser hull as Vicerall fell to the fire, Diamond warped to 9-2 Core Complex to effect repairs.
Diamond>> are you pinned?
Darkness >> no but hes melting my shields
Diamond >> warp away, Rendevous at alpha station.
Darkness>> are you sure? we can take this guy.
Diamond>> (exaspersated)..yeah... we will go right back , warp away
Darkness>> roger.

Alpha Station - 4:48
Diamond>> Warp to gate at 0, hopefully he was dumb enough to hang around.
Frankenstein and Morbid Curiosity arrive on 0 of gate, and engage the raven while it looted the corpse of its mate and Aaramon.
half way through shields it jumped through gate, not aggressing.

Having been aggressive, Morbid Curiosity and Frankenstein were forced to wait the minute cool down, Stingray VIII arrived on Elgoi Eiyfer & Co station in time to see the raven dock. Morbid and Frankenstein held a station vigil in Elgoi, while Aaramon reshipped and Daywalker put eyes in Eram.

The Raven pilot, assuming he was being camped in , presumably asked for eyes in Eram, as a scythe undocked, and remained slowly, lazily turning a tight orbit around the station.

"Stingray VIII scramble to Eram 6-2" was the order, and the little imicus, piloted by Hit NRun scrambled off to eram. "need a warp in" he said as he hit gate.

"Warp to daywalker at 10km" ... and Bam, Stingray lands 500 meters off the scythe, locks 'im up and tackles, "got im tackled, engaging"
Failfit scythe with his 1MN afterburner, and 2 650 siege cannons (1.5Mil each) Melted under the fire of the imicus, Stingray VIII called in support when his cap ran low, but with a little compensation Stingray would have taken the cruiser solo. it popped. "fast lock and spanked disruptor, put the pod firmly under Hit Nrun's gun and pop... capsule kill, Hit Nruns first 2 kill mails ever... Congrats.

Once the pod popped, the call went out for all ships to return to station to cover the raven. and eyes stayed in Eram.

Some "undock" games later, local bumped by two , as reinforcements arrived in the form of a scythe, and a cormorant. the scythe began working the warp ins, trying to draw fleet members off station. while the cormorant was spotted at the gate. Daywalker moved into system, and placed a warp in on the cormorant (same pilot as the scythe earlier) and Bam.. the imicus lands at 500m and spanks lock, and scram, the cormorant is pinned, but this time the little destroyer was fit to deal with the tackler. and the imicus shields disappear quickly, "I cant take this one" he calls out, and Armor tank aligns for warp in , and lands at 10km, after target acquisition, he unloads 20 assault missiles into the little ship, most of which pass harmlessly through the wreck, and Morbid lands on 0, locks and pops the pod. a second loss for Nomad Matt. (All ships return to station)

Again, a short while later, after a lot of smack talk and failed attempts to get the fleet off station, local spikes again, Nomad Matt has returned, but this time they dont give us a chance to take him off the edges. they warp in to our fleet, Cairo's scythe first, then a slasher with Nomad Matt. Instructions are given not to engage, we are holding primary for the ravens that are about to undock, and morbid alone locks up the scythe and the slasher, launching drones at the frigate and plowing into the slasher with lasers.

Ravens undock and primary is called, Vindettar, who escaped destruction earlier, needed to lose his raven and a fury of fire came down on him so hard, "he isn't tanked versus EM damage!" the cry went up and all ships unloaded EM hell into the sheild tank.

the slasher warped off, just as the scythe, and raven popped. fast lock and scrams, both pods were snagged. and the last raven collapsed shortly after the pods were popped. again, fast reaction time put the pod firmly in Diamonds hands as he slammed them shut.
