I'm scanning along in a new time slot for me, and it's like Dodixie is reborn and repopulated with idiots. I scan down a mission with two Navy Megas, piloted by usmcjeramy and AmonWarr. usmcjeramy locks and fires when I loot, but when I return with JerkTengu nobody is there but a salvaging alt.

usmcjeramy is apparently feeling a bit conciliatory.

usmcjeramy > hey just chcking to see if we are cool?
Paul Clavet > I was hoping to see what your navy mega could do
Paul Clavet > haven't fought one
Paul Clavet > wanna duel to structure?
usmcjeramy > you are in a tech 3 i cant do shit to ya
Paul Clavet > I could swap for something else
usmcjeramy > naw man im a missioner only
Paul Clavet > tell ya what
Paul Clavet > I just want to see the tank on that thing
Paul Clavet > I heard they're ungodly
Paul Clavet > I'll switch to some other ship that won't hurt you
Paul Clavet > like a cruiser?
usmcjeramy > naw man its all good im just running mission tonight thanks anyway
Paul Clavet > aw
Paul Clavet > do you like the navy mega?
usmcjeramy > sorry
usmcjeramy > but are we good?
usmcjeramy > as in nothing to worry about with eachother?
Paul Clavet > Of course we're good, I just wanted to see the capabilities of that ship because I want to get one
Paul Clavet > are you able to track small ships OK in it?
usmcjeramy > lol they are ok but you are old enough in the game you should be able to get one anyhow
Paul Clavet > Yeah, I can get one, but I've always flown caldari
Paul Clavet > have you tried shooting at a shuttle?
usmcjeramy > dont need to i dont do pvp
Paul Clavet > I have to kill lots of shuttles in merc contracts
Paul Clavet > people running away :)
Paul Clavet > so I need something that can hit them reliably
usmcjeramy > ok well nice talking to ya but i have to go, headed to masalle for sopme missions
Paul Clavet > wait up
Paul Clavet > will you try to see if you can kill my shuttle?
Paul Clavet > it has no guns :)
usmcjeramy > heading down to masalle for missions
usmcjeramy > no thanks have a nice night fly safe
Paul Clavet > ok man you too

He had to have known the deal, and he doesn't leave local, so I imagine that he's either taking a break or running another mission in Dodixie. I keep scanning.

Soon, I run across another hit: Two Navy Megas and a Fleet Typhoon. Turns out it's the same guys plus another pilot in the Typhoon. This time AmonWarr locks and fires. I run off, but expecting this to be a trap set to bag my Tengu, I grab JerkRaven instead and enlist Khalia for RR should all three faction battleships stand and fight.

When I return, usmcjeramy has bugged out, leaving only the Typhoon pilot and AmonWarr, who I have aggro on. As the Typhoon bugs out, I lock and point AmonWarr. Wow. His corpmate got to watch the exact same trap spring and live to tell about it, and five minutes later in another mission he lets his corpmate step right into it?

AmonWarr > what?
Paul Clavet > 300M or your ship dies
AmonWarr > stop firing
AmonWarr > and lets talk
Paul Clavet > done
Paul Clavet > you have 30 seconds
AmonWarr > stop fireing now
Paul Clavet > I'm not firing
Paul Clavet > just neuting so you can't rep
AmonWarr > NOW
Paul Clavet > 20 seconds
Paul Clavet > you are about to die
Paul Clavet > pay now
AmonWarr > moon 20 meet
AmonWarr > I can't now
AmonWarr > give me moon 20
Paul Clavet > then you die unless you can get it from your friends
Paul Clavet > I will give you 60 seconds to get it from your corp
Paul Clavet > 30 seconds
AmonWarr > don't have that option mate
Paul Clavet > then you die
(He dies)
Paul Clavet > wtf were you thinking
AmonWarr > I didn't have the money man, wtf was I suppose to do?
Paul Clavet > get it from your corp mates?
Paul Clavet > I mean, what kinda friends are those?
AmonWarr > go without a fight, you could'g bige me to 20 to get some isk?
Paul Clavet > Yeah, that totally would have worked
AmonWarr > Not all that good, but wtf either way, you got your kill can I alteast come out and get my shit?
Paul Clavet > yeah come on
Paul Clavet > I don't want this crap
Paul Clavet > I'll see you around m8

No great loot, but hey, a faction BS kill is always nice.

AmonWarr's alt convos me a few minutes later. Hilarity is bolded.

DrakkenWar > I will say first good kill and tackle on my mega.
DrakkenWar > second I would say why, when my corp mate was flying a faction fit worth 4x my fit
Paul Clavet > You were the one I had aggro on.
DrakkenWar > fair enough.
DrakkenWar > with that toon, I was honest.. I did not have the isk, otherwise I would have given it for the boat, but tell me. why do you feel you had to be so flip?
DrakkenWar > If you had let that boat dock I would have given you what you asked for, the boat was worth more than that
DrakkenWar > A qujick ore flip and I would have given a gf and payed a well earned ransom. So tell me why you felt the need to do what you did.
Paul Clavet > Because you would not have paid.
DrakkenWar > lol I would have paid to save that boat, but with no liquid assests on hand the only way to pay was with ore melt. I did not want to loose that boat. But such as it is.. It is a game afterall.
DrakkenWar > so either way good drop and good kill even with what I lost.
Paul Clavet > Indeed. Perhaps you should work on improving at it?
DrakkenWar > welll when you fly solo in a corp of cock suckers that are never online you do what you must to survive
Paul Clavet > I'm afraid so.
DrakkenWar > at any rate, a lesson learned. Fly safe, and the next time I see ya, I hope it's not such an easy drop. Fly safe.. I've book'd ya the same as you have me.

Solo? Did he not see my faithful corpmate there with me?
