Surprise Attack

After the R&R was over I rendezvoused with the crew and the Rook and headed to meet up with the mostly rookie crew working the wormhole. Of course along the way my usual devious plan popped into my head.

After a dozen or so jumps, a quarter of which was in low sec, I successfully inserted into the wormhole unknown to the unsuspecting noobs. In order for my plan to work I had to switch ships and gear up and hope they did not notice me on the scanners.

I warped into the POS and switched ships but saw on my scanners an incoming noob. I had to jump out quick and as soon as I cleared the shields I cloaked up. The incoming noob actually saw on his scanners the Rook I was in and sounded the alarm. This brought the whole mining party back to the POS and as is SOP they jumped into probers and combat ships hoping to catch the "intruder". I had successfully warped away in my stealth bomber with them none the wiser thinking an enemy Rook was in the system.

Smiling to myself and cloaked up in my safe spot my self gloating was short lived as I was interrupted by my first officer. She notified me that all we had on board were concussion bombs that would most likely destroy the retrievers, possibly destroy any of the haulers and damage the Hulks. I had to smile and laugh an evil laugh at the thought but decided against using the concussion bombs, after all this was just supposed to be a lesson.

Now the problem was, how do I exchange out my bombs for void bombs that would just suck their cap down? It quickly hit me, Finn Morgan would do it. Finn will do anything for ISK but this he did for free because he liked the idea of screwing with the noobs. He managed to pick up a couple of void bombs and brought them out to my safe spot, jettisoned them then flew off to get a front row seat of the action.

Switching the bombs took a bit of time but that was fine, it took them awhile but the gave up the chase on the Rook. Again I laughed, it took them awhile to give up on finding a Rook that did not exist. Finally the time arrived. I was able to warp in cloaked up and setup for the bomb run. At 30km we de-cloaked and let loose our fury. Bomb was away and inbound before I fully decloaked; the torpedo was homing in on the jetcan they were filling up. By the time they saw the explosion I was already cloaked up and laughing my ass off.

The best part is always hearing and seeing the chat channels: "VOID BOMB!!", "What was that?", "Where did the can go?", "Did you guys see Lance?", "Hey, what just happened, my cap is empty?!". I think Finn shit himself he laughed so hard.

As fun as it was though, these guys did really well. I believe we only ended up attacking 3 of the 6 in the hole do mostly to the alertness of Rook alert. These guys did real good for noobs on their first wormhole outing. This should be a good crew, let's see how it pays out in ISK.
