The Captains Log 4/8
Well I have all my assets out of Stain region now. The first lot, my mining alts in their pods and a badger full of modules, went out through a wormhole, which lead into Syndicate region. This was still null sec but was only 7 jumps and not 30. The trip was fairly easy, just had to make sure I scouted properly and to cloak at the appropriate times. Unfortunately, it died before I could bring more stuff through.
The Hardest Part
So next I decided to be a man and fly my ships through hostile space. The first trip in my onyx went smoothly. Nothing shot me or even attempted to stop me. So I flew back to Stain in a cheap frigate, picked up my Dominix and begin the trip back to empire. Three jumps in, just as I warp off a gate, a Hurricane appears. As I hit the next gate and jump the Hurricane reappears and jumps as well. As soon as my ships systems come back on line I initiate my cloak. The Hurricane though got a good look at me and managed to get close enough to me to offline my cloak. Damn. Time to fight, unfortunately I was fitted for ratting. After trading a few volleys I realise this is a fight I cannot win so I turn off my lasers and recall my drones and head back to the gate. The Hurricane tries to bump me off the gate but fails to do so. My armour is nearing the end of its life as get in range of the gate and began to initiate jump. The gate though has other plans – You can jump due to recent acts of aggression. Fuck. My armour fails, my structure starts taking a beating, and then finally the gate lets me jump. On the other side I fly to a planet and then cloak, just as down time begins.
After downtime I log my scout into the system and see that the Hurricane pilot is not in system so I bring the Dominix through and just as I do so the Hurricane logs on and warps to the gate. I warp to within 50 of a planet. I quickly warped off to a planet and cloaked, only for the hurricane to follow me. He then aligns to the gate and is getting closer to me. No matter what I do I cannot get away and he will uncloak me and finish of what he started. So I hit CTRL+Q. I watch in my buzzard as he shoots me only for me to get away.
After he leaves the system I continue on my way to the next Hurdle, HED-GP. Once there I see a blue gate camp so that is no problem, until a neutral Raptor appears at the gate. No one else is shooting him and the Raptor starts shooting me. No problem Dominix vs Raptor is easy. My drones take him down to ¾ structure before he wraps off and yells in local that there is a neural Dominix on the gate. Ah well you can’t it help when friends of friends are not friends. So I got my Dominix in to empire.
The last move
The next step involved getting the rest of my ships into empire, which was done through carrier jumps. During this period I was a cyno bitch, though I have got some nice pictures. My Kestrel is tiny (its next to the cyno)
Once that was over I brought my last two characters up to empire. Everything is now safe or for sale down Stain.
