After getting home from college, I hopped into the first CTA Fleet with Lords(Lord's Servant). Initially they were calling for Guardians/Abaddons for what I believe was a POS bash, however after realizing that we were pretty outnumbered, they asked if anyone could bring triage archons....one of my favorite ships. Unfortunately for me, I didn't have one, however someone in an abaddon offered to switch out to a triage archon. The FC asked him to stay in the BS, I offered to fly his archon if it was ok with him, and after we noticed that we were both in the supercap channel, he traded it to me.
After much yelling by the FCs and Vince, everyone got on the titan, and we bridged in. Our triage carriers, about 3 or 4 of us if I recall were told to undock and wait until told to jump in. We were told, as any good group of triage carriers do, to cycle our triage so we were constantly coming in and out of triage at regular intervals so we could be repped up. I was second up to enter triage.
When we landed eideen(I think that was the name) was told to go triage, then go red(a term meaning activate then deactivate so you will exit after the first cycle). Somehow, another triage carrier, PK Geheegan went triage when he jumped in, against orders. Despite our repping, FC called for everyone to align to station, and for us carriers to cyno out. I, being out of triage, immediately cynoed out. I heard another confirmation over comms that eideen had exited triage and was also out. FC asked to double check that all carriers were out, and to speak up if we were tackled. Nobody spoke up, so FC ordered fleet to warp to station to regroup there for another round.
AFTER fleet had landed, over comms came "I'm tackled and going down in my archon." FC got extremely pissed and did a bit of raging over comms. Killmail here .
Since I was out of the picture with the fleet for the time being, I decided to log in my alt WizWaz for the second "op" happening that day - our corp was defending one of our highend moons.
We had 3 pos gunning chars to start with, mine had 4 guns, another had 4, and someone else had a fail 3 :P
With 10 mins to go on the RF timer, local started spiking, and the enemy warped to a safe 300km above the POS, just out of range of the guns. Their fleet was comprised of a vulture, some hurricanes, some basi/scimis, and a shitton of drakes. As pos came out of RF, the enemy warped in their fleet at optimal, and began shooting. We immediately starting lighting em up with the guns, concentrating our fire. We took several drakes to armor before they warped off - since we had been in RF, we had no warp disruption batteries to tackle. Finally, we took a hurricane down before he could warp. At this point, we were asking the CEO to log in his pos gunner char, and to ignore the other op(one of the gunners had literally ctrl q'd his abaddon upon warping it to station in sendaya, in the other fight).
After another 5 minutes of cat and mouse, with us taking several ships to armor, and even hull without a kill, our CEO logged on his char in a helios. However, instead of approach the tower to gun, he burned out of the shields and lit a cyno. I began to log in Servants(my supercarrier char) in the hopes that I could get in on the rapefest, however, the reason he lit the cyno became immediately apparent - an evoke gang of about 60 titan bridged in. The fleet sieging our tower, however, chose not to give them a good fight, simply losing a drake, and warping off, followed by jumping out of system. They didn't even try to shoot my CEO's cyno helios.
Shortly after, my ceo brought in his triage carrier to begin repping the POS, and I believe Evoke brought in some carriers of their own to help rep. :brofist: and danke schun to our evoke brosefs for helping us save the tower. :)
My job done, I logged off WizWaz, and focused my attention on Lords, moving back up to the CTA comms in TS3. The FC was just getting ready to go back in, and, after checking the supercap channel, the order was given to log in all supercaps - titans included. When we went back in, I jumped Lords in with the triage archon, and tried to jump Servants in. Notice I said "tried." My wyvern wasn't in PI5, which is where my archon was, so I had to jump to PI5 before going to sendaya. The Razor gang had mostly stood down, and the remnants were all clustered inside the POS. Right before I got jump cap (you need 71% capacitor to jump in a cap), the cyno went down in Sendaya. I asked FC for another cyno, but he said he didn't want to risk it as he wanted all supers capped up to gtfo if razor tried to drop us. Thus the only char I had on the op was Lords in his archon. I had to leave due to personal reasons (gym was closing and I was gonna miss my 6mile run if I didn't leave to do it right then), but I believe we reinforced the tower for more *goodfites* later.
Not many killmails due to my shiptypes, but still a fun day...I love my corp. :)

PS-Stay tuned for my next post, which I'll hopefully put out in response to the whole "Jump Bridge/Coalition" Argument.
