The ships engines Idle as I wait in station, flipping switches to set my ship to go into the automatic undocking queue. I nudge my thrusters and ease into the line, letting the computers in the station take over. As I see space before me my comm channel opens with Corp chatter, Zuel is informing myself, Joy and Kargon that he's got a potential one on one battle getting ready to start with a battlecruiser.
We fleet up and as I get manual control back from the station I warp in with the others right behind me, all agreeing that no one will jump into the battle unless something happens.
We keep our distance, all in frigates with the exception of Zuel who is also in a battlecruiser.
While we wait for some fireworks I stare at the planet we're orbiting, and I contemplate what the flatlanders on it are doing right now, or what a life living on land would be like, the more I think about it the more disgusted I am by them although really their life isn't much different from mine seeing as how they too live off the land much like I do, if you didn't have land of course.
Just like that the fight is on and suddenly I'm target locked and being fired at.
In 3 hits my shields are a quarter gone, and just as fast I inform the group that I'm moving in.
They are too. All of us open fire at once and within 3 seconds a Concord vessel warps in and the battle is over, our "target's" ship vents air and crumbles under the bombardment of 3 frigates our Battlecruiser and a Concord ship.
Concord sticks around to make sure we don't do anything unruly like pod the guy who couldn't keep his word, but that doesn't stop us from attempting to ransom him.
He eventually is let go of our scramblers and disruptors and he warps out leaving a wreck of a ship behind.
I think to myself 'Not bad.'
