I would appreciate if we could all keep the trolling to a minimum. This is a true story of how I robbed a POS in a wormhole.

To start off I will go over the background of my wormhole. I moved in here around two weeks ago and immediately started capital building projects and moved my rather small corp in here. To my distaste there was already a corp in here. A single man run POS, more to the point. Well, I gave this person an ultimatium. I told him he could leave, die, or join me. He was swift in his choice to join me. He had told me much of his operation. He had a 3.2b Tengu and other fancy toys. He was in the T3 market and had 50 subs and tons of BPC to build more subs. He had all the PI setup and much more. There was however one wierd thing about all this. At first I identified two characters of his. One ran the POS, and the other ran a POS under a different name and corp. That corp was Helljumpers of the Dead Terrorist alliance. It was a Small Amarr Control Tower and it was poorly defended. In it I saw this Tengu he had parked there and he had told me it was worth well over 3b.

Well eventually negotations worked fully and he was to join my corp with an alt and take down both poses and put them up under my name. I was planning to only give him a certain level of roles. I would anchor the tower for him and config it so that anyone in corp could anchor and online things with the tower to prevent my own from being potentially threatend by him. He seemed like a great guy. We talked on TS and we kept constant communication. Nothing about him seemed awkward at all.

On the day that he had apped up with an alt I had him in convo with me. He told me to give him Starbase Config Roles as he was on his way. Well, something seemed fishy. I was not going to do that and I tried explaining it to him. When I went to the corp members tab I noticed he was in an Ibis outside of the wormhole. Ibis can't haul a POS tower. I knew something was up. Coincidently at the same time I was unanchoring mods around my 2nd POS in the wormhole. In my wormhole I had also bookmarked another Offline tower that was just laying there from day one. Well, when I went to go grab my next loads of mods I accidently warped to the offline POS. No biggy right? Just mistake I will warp back to my 2nd POS. Well, nope. There was a fleet there killing that small POS. I was like... WTF! I lost my Mammoth and I got my POD out. I desperately opened my kill logs and noted that the killers were from his old corp. A fleet of 25 drakes and 5 nighthawks continued to bash that offline tower. I feared for my own 2nd tower which was now undefended. I knew his plan now. He wanted to get roles to offline my POS and use that very same fleet to destroy my main tower. Thankfully I didnt give him any roles. Immediately after I told him off he got very violent and made it a clear point I was to die. The corp that attacked me was in Co2. Dead Terrorist and Co2 are BFF, and that meant SC support for a wormhole. I will admit I was a little scared.

After taking all the mods off my POS and hitting offline and starting the unanchoring process for my second tower the fleet came in to attack it. They were to get an unanchored POS. I cursed for a while until I devised a genius plan. Asset denial of the tower was now my main goal. I was to grab a hauler and land at the second it were to unanchor and scoop it. Of course this spelled doom for myself, but I could deny them a tower. Well I landed 3.7km from it and got popped. Not very helpful.

A few hours went by before I noticed that Co2 was anchoring their own tower where the old offline one was! I was furious. This was surely to be a setback.
