I was relocating a PvP ship when the Sansha's Invasion live event got underway. My Harbinger was in transit of the Renyn system at the time, and Renyn VI was under attack. Never having been in a live event before I quickly doubled back toward the planet.

My ship coasted out of warp into a chaotic scene - drones everywhere, wrecks littering the sky, flashy red targets - wait, flashy red? I did a double take and then realized that a pilot from OWN Alliance - whom Jerks is currently at war with - was less than 4km from my ship. Forget the event, it's WAAAAARRRRR!

Merry Zane was apparently surprised as I was, and I got the quick upper hand against his Drake. He neglected to point or web me until my shields were gone, and didn't deploy his drones until his shields were nearly gone. My Harbinger had a comfortable 50% armor remaining when his drake assploded.

Out of habit I started to lock his pod, not expecting to get it because the lock time on a battlecruiser verus a pod is around 10 seconds - plenty of time to get away. I was once again surprised as he kindly sat there until the lock completed and my lasers turned him into space goo.

The icing on this cake - so delicious and moist - was that Merry immediately ragequit his corporation, only to rejoin an hour later.

I went looking for him again, but apparently Merry Zane decided 0.0 was safer.

I found Merry Zane for you
