Rebels Friday Night Roam

Rebels gathered for a Friday night Rifter roam and Starwalker joined in on the fun. Kaeda Maxwell had started these a while ago and when it originally started there was anything between 2 and 6 Rebels in fleet, on this roam it was around 12.

A quick circuit around Molden Heath resulted in few opportunities for an engagement but plenty of opportunities for some banter with the locals. Indeed, the banter also extended to other fleet members, where someone felt that there was a strong likeness between one fleet member and “Baldrick” from Black Adder. Hardly the most flattering of comparisons!

After a while the scout reported a Thrasher in an asteroid belt, apparently a young pilot simply ratting. He was welcomed to low-sec in the traditional manner. Unfortunately, Starwalker arrived too slowly to get onto the kill.

Whilst the R1FTA swarm of frigates waited on gate a Proteus jumped in and then sat there. It was clear that it was part of a gang but the Rebels decided on some target practice anyway. The Proteus, a member of GangBangers, simply waited patiently as the damage accumulated and before long many other GangBangers entered system.

The command was given to disengage and almost everyone got away except Nicholai Hel. Starwalker’s Rifter got away but suffered a catastrophic system failure and needed a system reboot to regain flight systems control. Starwalker rejoined the fleet temporarily but eventually decided that the systems needed to be checked over and returned to base, as the Rebels disappeared into the Great Wildlands. They would soon find a Cyclone in the Great Wildlands and give it the standard Rebel greeting – opening fire with all weapons, after all this is EVE.
