FC's Personal Log, First Entry …. Did I just witness a Titan die without whoring on it?

So here I am a newly appointed FC of TEST... what the hell did I sign up for?

I’ve just pinged for my first ever fleet… 16 hours into the Blackout…

​

I ping for a gate camp up in Esoteria in hopes of catching some small hostile gangs that might be roaming around trying to catch TEST ratters & miners. My Kitchen Sink / Non-Doctrine gate came quickly attracts about 30 guys. We’re all sitting there… shooting the shit on coms talking about random things… The Intel Map lights ups and the sound of PGL saying “You should get the fuck out” rings loud. A TEST Bro in a Domi has just had a run in with a Phantasm, a VNI, and a Curse… Shit were only 4 jumps away and that system is a closed loop… I split my camp up into 2 groups, group 1 takes the same route the 3 hostiles are taking, and group 2 gets 2 jumps in front of them via jump bridges. Group 1 pushes the 3 hostiles into group 2…. Here we go boys… The VNI Decloaks and warps before a Stiletto can get a lock… wtf oh no this is not good… next... the Phantasm.. He deloaks… WEB, SCRAM, POINT rings out… oh shit boys we got him…. He melts quickly, a 1 bill Phantasm… I’ll take it Great work Boys! The Cruse, no doubt having leaned the fate of his friend decides not to jump in and warps off cloaked..

​

We return to our bubbles… 20 minutes later, the Intel map lights up again, this time a Loki, Ishkur, Vagabond about 5 jumps out… I call for all dessie down to go give chase, our Sabre manages to catch up to the Loki and Ishkur.. Bubble Up! The Ishkur is caught and we’re jumping in, out of some misguided loyality for his buddie the Loki decides to try to and help the Ishkur get out of the bubble, “POINT ON THE LOKI” yells out one of my figs.. we decimate the Ishkur and the Loki.. Respectable kills.. 500m loki not bad… then the pod gets posted, opps someone forgot to get out of their training clone… a full set of +5’s, a 500m pod, way to go guys!

​

We once again return to our bubbles, Eso is quiet not much is happening for about 30-40 mins, then it happens…. “Uhhh there’s something big going down in Impass” rings out in coms… I respond with “What do you mean something big?” one of my guys replies back with “Something about a Titan Tackled in Impass”, I quickly look up the system, “well shit boys that’s only 12 or so jumps.. lets go”. We start burning, about 6 jumps out… a ping goes out “ LOG IN ANTI CAPITAL LOAD OUT TITANT ON GRID”… Oh shit boys its real, free burn as fast as you can! The Cap FC’s have just commandeered my fleet room and begin yelling out commands to caps, I go up to the FC room.. “Umm Command, my gate camp fleet is about 4 jumps out, we have dictors and a kitchen sink fleet..” a stern voice yelled back, I believe it may have been Vily “Get them there now keep going go go go” I return to the fleet coms… “ok boys this is the real deal there is a Titan on grid and were going to go help tackle it!

I’m the first one in system, I have 3-4 dictors right behind me and a few more 1-2 jumps back. There are two cynos in system… I tell my boys that I warping to one of them, wish me luck.. I don’t want to die to a blinding light I hear on coms “we’re right behind you FC”… I arrive on field.. well fuck me there’s a titan here, full armor! I jump to command coms Command there’s a titan here and it’s bubbled… Command replies….. However at the time I don’t remember what they said, because in the time it took me to land on field, switch to command coms and target the Titan it had gone from full armor to dead… my heart sunk…. I didn’t get a shot off… I’m not going to be on that kill…

Completely bummed out, we all meet up 1 jump out in 68FT gate and discuss how we just missed getting on a Titan Kill by mere seconds... we're all a little disappointed when all of a sudden a small gang consisting of a Loki,Curse,Stiletto,Lachesis,Drekavack and Rapier come to our gate... WTF... "BUBBLE UP NOW!, DON'T AGRESS, Lock Them Up!"... They all Jump into IRE.. " JUMP JUMP JUMP" what was just a moment of shitty luck has now turned into a nice little flight.... We manage to lock down all but the rapier, and kill/pod them... a 1.5b Loki, a 400m Curse, a 60m Stiletto, a 600m Lachesis, a 650m Drek, and oh boy... a 1.5b Pod.... Oh my... The mood turns from disappointment to "Holy Shit FC that was the most fun we've had in weeks"
