My Loot, Your Tears

So I had logged in and was playing carebear with an alt of mine, while Khalia and Paul were bashing some POS left completely undefended, when Zarago piped up about a war target in a Machariel doing missions up near Ichoriya.

We all started burning over, some closer than others, I was around 20j out, and we waited until everyone was stationed a jump or so out of his mission system. It turned out a Golem showed up before we all got into position as well. While we waited for Zarago to give the call for a warpin, someone *cough*Paul*cough* told half of us to jump into system. Seconds later, Zarago told us he was still in mission, regardless of us botching the jump!

We all sped in, as our target went through the first mission gate, Jerks hot on his trail. When I warped into the second room, the Golem was in the process of GTFOing, and we couldn't point it. Redirecting to the Mach, I noticed I was getting an assload of damage, probably due to burning right at him.

I warped my Cane out at about half tank, going to assist Khalia who was trying to get the Golem to engage. I landed at the gate they were at, and the Golem warped. On Vent, Jerks were having a hard time keeping the Mach down, as it was burning away at max speed. After a while, it warped, and managed to evade our tackle on the outbound gate.

On Khalia's mention of logging to make them feel safe, Zarago moved us all into our target's first mission room, and we all logged. About 10 minutes later, he was back in a shuttle on the gate into his mission system. He jumped through, and burned back, clearly testing the waters. Not to spook, we waited. About a minute later, the Golem jumped through the gate. Yay! We got word that he was warping to his mission, and Vent went crazy while we all logged in and started a new fleet going.

I warped to his mission gate, as did everyone else, save for Paul, who apparently logged into neverland or somesuch. We called point on the Golem, which started falling, three of us hitting him with everything we had. Seconds later, Kido Shihan's Golem went up in a ball of flame, with Paul landing in his Raven as the cinders faded.

Jerks got screwed over on the drops, but not all was lost. Noticing he was dual-boxing, getting his other shuttle character out of harm's way, the Kido's pod landed on gate, which we proceded to kill. Zarago also ended up getting the other character's shuttle.

As an added bonus, we ran a locator on the pod we popped, and we noticed he was now around 40j out.

I think I speak the truth when I say that this will not work again. At least not on this guy.
