Our current war is vs the United Society of Xziles who apparently also run around Teonusude doing missions and who knows what. The command came down from the supreme leader of Dead Bears that they were our next target. Luckily we had ourselves planted in Teo from the last dec. so there was no moving involved. A couple of days went by with no contact and then suddenly without warning local chat lit up with the propaganda from Protector X filling the local chat channels with his begging for people to join his corp.
"To Action!" I called ... I undocked my cane again and shortly after Protector undocked in his tristan. I started to lock and though for sure he would get away even if by sheer stupidity ... WRONG ... lock and pop. Then some local banter ensued and a couple more members of their organization appeared. Tallon in his mighty abaddon undocks, locks a rupture and begins the assault ... easily in dock range the rupture hesitates a second too long and vanishes in a fiery explosion. The pilot, clearly high on the fumes of his smoking pod, switches to a rifter and decides sitting at zero speed 15k from the abaddon will stave off any further attacks ... WRONG. Trying to save face he yells out in local "Thanks! I need the insurance!." Further proving that sniffing burning pod fumes and flying internet spaceships don't mix.
Now Protector X reveals his true strength ... he brings out the mighty Astarte. "Oh no ... that thing owns ... were doomed." I cry over chat channels as Tallon and I play docking games with the Protector X and his pal and best buddy Protector Xzotika in a Tempest. Realizing that we are no match for the dynamic duo we end the night in a stalemate of docking games.
The next night ... both Protector X and his best bud are docked and while snooping around neighboring systems Fizgig Beldrulf is spotted one jump over doing a mission in a cyclone. I quickly grab the prober and find Fizgig ... land a point and proceed to lay the torps into his face. Unfortunately, as later FRAPS showed, at a meer 20k from my overheated point the coward made alignment and was able to warp off due to his obvious WCS! So back to Teon I went to see if the dynamic duo had more plans to play. Some time passed and finally Protector X undocked his Astarte and warped to a ping 200k away from station. Tallon undocked the abaddon and waited ..... as expected Protector warps in to 30k and proceeds to approach and shoot, drones out, Tallon's mighty abaddon. Tallon obliges back replaying the scene from the night before and watching for the appearance of Protectors better half. As protector dipped to 25% armor I decide this has to end ... I undock my even mightier abaddon and proceed to lay waste to the Astarte. The Tempest undocks in a futile attempt to save the day but the power of the even more dynamic duo leave Protector X with a bad taste his mouth. A short time later he and his girly man friend log off, obviously to go contemplate their wrong doings in the world.
Who knows what the days to come will bring.
