Yesterday we had an exit to Vale of The Silent (0.0). There was quite a bit of activity in the region. I flew around a bit and found an ice-mining op in a system with +/- 40 locals. The ice-belt was bubbled to hell and back, so I spent a little time to get a good warping on the miners spot and left the system when I was done with that.
I flew around some other systems a bit but didn’t catch anything. I went back to the system with the ice miners and warped to the miners belt with my warpin bookmarks. The miners where already gone but a manticore decloaked at around 40km away from me. I was flying my taranis, and being a bit wary about bombs I kept a bit of range at first. However the manticore just started firing torpedoes at me, so I decided to go for it. Hit the approach and scram + web the manticore. He went down quickly. When he exploded his friends started landing in the belt so it was to to get out of there.

Later that evening when we had some more people online, we camped a system near our wormhole exit. I had swapped for a rapier and flew around the systems near our camp to try and draw targets in. I found a rupture traveling away from us. I followed him a couple of jumps until I managed to catch him at a gate. While I was shooting him he was asking in local for help. His friends never showed up though.

The last event of the evening was a group that had a bit too much firepower for us: 2 machariels, a tempest, 2 drakes a flycatcher among them. They were around 10 people. Our fc was keeping our gang out of their way, while I was scouting cloaked at one of the gates. Their flycatcher landed on the gate alone. I decided to go for him. When I decloaked he dropped a bubble. I double webbed him fast and started shooting him. Thanks to his own bubble and my webs he couldn’t warp off. His friends landed soon after him. I wanted the kill, so I stayed around a little bit longer with hostile group punching holes in my shields. I managed to kill flycather while mwd’ing away. I warped off with low shields. After this we decided to call it a day and went back to our wormhole.
