Waking up in Badivefi

For the last few weeks I had been working for agents based Baratar & Gaudiyah, and had both systems almost all to myself as there were very few other pilots around. About a week or two ago I was targeted by Abbel Nightroad of Under the Wings of Fury (ticker BLEH2), but had managed to escape without a scratch. And so I made no plan to move back to Badi as my base of operation.

This proved to be a great mistake. Earlier tonight I did notice some pirates again from UWF, but they kept to themselves. After coming back from a mission I decided that the system was getting a bit too crowded and decided to head back to Badivedfi. That was my doom as I should have stayed in station and called it a night; a bit early but alive.

As I got to the gate, a few of them had followed me and that is where I met my end.

Here are the details:

The clone transfer was less painful then I expected. I'm only sorry for the lost implants though.

As I still have a Vexor and some loot in Baratar, and I do plan to get it.

I've lost two ships in two nights - it's been a tough week! Now I know not to hang out in such low security systems all by myself. I'll probably ask for an escort from the Military division to get my Vexor and other assets back.

Mining our own business

Last Tuesday night, my corp mates and I, had planned a mining operation and it was decided that we would be mining in a low security system to stock up on some precious minerals.

I dropped off my Vexor in Baratar, my current base of operations (got some quality security agents there), picked up an Amarrian shuttle and headed back to HQ, in Badivedfi, 17 systems away.
Once in there, I switched ships to my trusty Iteron Mark V, the Fat Mimi I, and set course for Nourbal where I would meet up with some of my corp mates. After getting there I started hauling back and forth between Nourbal and our deposit station somewhere near Nourbal, since that system has no stations.

Everything was running smoothly until we noticed a pilot who had jumped in Nourbal by himself. This guy was from the Federation of Freedom Fighters, with a low security rating. Now, be himself he would have been chop liver for our CAP, but these types of rats never travel alone. On my way out of Nourbal I noticed that on the other side of the gate, the only gate to exit Nourbal, there's was a few other of his corp mates from FoFF waiting there. Not good. Not good at all.

So we got ready in case things started to get ugly and on my way to drop the ore, I'm was getting constant feedback form my corp mates back in Nourbal, as to what the situation was. They we're not moving in yet, but by the time I had dropped the ore and started to head back to Nourbal, there was a total of 7 FoFF pilots gate camping in Kerbez. As I headed back to Nourbal everyone there was on edge and I awaited orders from our XO. Just before jumping into Keberz I stopped and waited there. It didn't take long for order to come through, we were pulling out!

I'm was given orders to "Get the ore, NOW!!" So I fired up the engine, jumped in Keberz, and headed straight to the Nourbal gate where all the FoFF fighters were waiting; except by then there was only 6 of them at the gate; one had jumped in. Thanks to some good bookmarking, I jumped into Nourbal as soon as I come out of warp at the gate. After going through our safe spots I headed towards the belt where we were mining our own business, before being rudely disturbed.
