Incursus Pilot Back for Round 2

Starwalker returned to base from his most recent roam and only had a cyno-velator to show for his efforts but a kill was a kill. He docked up and contemplated finishing for the night but decided that he would just do a short local circuit to see what was around.

Starwalker left the station in his Merlin and saw an Incursus around 50km away from the undock. It was piloted by Yip Mei and since Yip had only recently been killed by Starwalker's Merlin, Starwalker simply warped away to the sun to see who else was in system.

What Starwalker hadn't expected was that Yip Mei would want round 2 - now. His Incursus landed around 10km away and Starwalker decided to lock him up just in case he had aggressive intentions - he did. The Incursus immediately went to work and so with a slight delay Starwalker returned fire.

However, this fight was different to the first time around as the Incursus was not going down anywhere near as quickly as the last time. In fact Starwalker was watching his shields disappear fast and realised that this was a real fight and he could die very soon.

The Incursus started to hit structure but so was Starwalker's Merlin and he cursed the fact that he had started so slowly. It was close and the Incursus put up a good fight but it went down with the Merlin only having 56% of its structure left. This was much closer than the last time and Yip Mei commented that he had got his T2 tank skills and had fitted the ship better than last time. It showed.

Starwalker went to a safe with his ship on fire to wait out his GCC and made a mental note to not assume that new pilots recently beaten would not try again to get a kill. Whilst the first fight had been easy this one had taken him down to structure and he could even have lost it, if the dice had rolled differently for quality of hits.
