The Triage Module vs. The Cloak Module

So, this past weekend was a bit...

Intense.

I'm gonna time line it for you. Because it was nuts. I'll start with the first half of Friday in this post.

Before anyone says anything, the only thing that went down Friday was a chimera. That's the seat I'm taking. Deal with it.

So, a few months ago, we found a tasty tasty target in a c5. Very poorly defended, lots of shinnies, and possible capital ships. Aka, tasty tasty target.

So over the next few weeks, we draw up a very basic plan; slide some cap ships in when they aren't looking and let them sleep in the dark until we actually roll in to hit them, with only us being the wiser about it. W managed to sneak some 5 caps in. I'd tell you which ones they are, but that's poor intel right there.

Plus, 3 show up on the killmail. Spoilers!

So, we throw up our base of operations, which is really just a pos used as a temporary home. One of the locals notices, "Hey, holy shit, there is a large fleet on scan. With cap support. Maybe we should...PACK UP ALL THE THINGS AND GTFO".

So they do just that. They grab all their important loot into a chimera and proceed to warp straight to a safe spot with the intention of warping out.

At this point, our FC called for combats to be out, so we had that chimera probed down right as it landed. Since we also had an idea of where it was headed, I aligned my brick in the direction of where it was going so I could apply as much missley goodness to it as possible. That's when our prober landed on it and....

...couldn't tackle it because it hit triage.

Apparently, in the madness of trying to flee, he had forgotten to fit a cloaking device and mistook the triage module for a cloak. He didn't have much time to regret the decision, as I landed mere seconds later with two other dreads right behind me. I popped into siege, locked it up, and began to use my Phoenix for the very first time in PvHOLY CRAP IT DID HOW MUCH DAMAGE?!

Fun fact: Found a use for the Phoenix. And it's hitting structures and capital ships.

So, the "fight" lasted a little under 2 minutes.

Here's the resulting killmail:

Oboozie's Carrier

I'm not going to lie, it was satisfying. Podding him would have been even more so. The pod managed to slip away though. From there, we were going to go hit their pos, but they decided to strike a bargain with us. An undisclosed sum and a song later, we agreed to pull out.

Meanwhile, in a Talocan hole...

Part 2 later this week will focus on what happened to one of our c5s while we started the op.

Blue Probes Out.
