Legion of Black Mesa

Monday was a sad day. Brock Samson, my dear Megathron fired his last volley. We were in a fleet to try to bust a camp on the BWF gate in Geminate. I had joined late, rushing in to catch up with the main fleet element, so I’d missed a lot of what the plan was. That didn’t really matter in the end, as everything went to shit.

I jump into BWF and warp to a fleet member i knew was on the gate. Warp Drive Active! 40 AU’s to go! I spend what seems like an eternity in warp and finally land on the gate! The enemy fleet his huge! More than 30 ships! The FC calls a primary and I unleash my trusty Tech 2 Neutron Blaster Cannons as soon as my target locks! We melt an enemy Typhoon really fast, Carnes calls for armor, I lock him and begin repping. A new primary is called, another typhoon. CydonianKnight also calls for armor, I lock him and send my med repper drones after him. No one else seems to be repping Carnes’ ‘geddon so he goes down pretty quick. Cydo seems to be doing better as weels calls for reps as well, but as i target him he’s already in deep hull and can’t do anything more about that, weels goes down in his Domi. The second Typhoon finally goes down, then there’s silence. People start asking for a new primary. Someone calls out another Typhoon, but he’s 40+km off the main element, I can’t hit that; neither can half the gang. Things start to unravel from there. Ships off by themselves start getting picked off, and soon I’m seeing my shield disappear. Then i hit armor, I’d called for armor, but it was no use, I wasn’t getting reps! I start to align to warp off since i was still outside one of the bubbles surrounding the gate, but I wasn’t quick enough, soon Brock was in shambles and I was sitting there in my pod.

I warp back to station in an attempt to activate Voltron, Brock’s older brother, but by the time I got there the fight was over. We’d lost over 15 ships and only managed to kill 4.

Like I said, a sad sad day
