Audit Log 20070711.0347 - The audit on suspect corporation Northern Star Enterprises (NSENT) has only just begun and has already taken a sour turn. The forty NSENT audit suspects are attempting to flee the constellation. Surveillance of their corporate headquarters by our only tax agent (myself) has resulted in the interception of one NSENT employee by the name of Trocan. Upon notification of tax code violation and demand to eject from ship, suspect commenced hostile action upon IRS agent, resulting in the complete destruction of suspect's ship. NSENT fined for resisting an audit and ship destruction registered in Redistributed Assets column. NSENT now shows past due tax obligations and associated fines of 102,000,000 ISK.

However, the tax violations of NSENT may only be the tip of the iceberg. Ominous forces appear to be moving behind the scenes as the investigation progresses. Agent Norkoff (myself) was approached by a shady pin-striped individual who identified himself only as "Dark Klotz". Klotz indicated that he represented Combined Planetary Union (CPU) a "large concern with many powerful friends". Varing between subtle threats and blatant bribery, Klotz indicated that it would be in the IRS's best interest to cease it's audit of NSENT. Further investigative questioning by Agent Norkoff resulted in Klotz letting slip that NSENT may be joining the CPU conglomerate. (Suspicion - May indicate that NSENT has been a front for CPU all along?) However, the question arises - Why would CPU value a 40-man corporation that flees from a single tax agent? What dark secret does NSENT hold that the conglomerate would put so much effort into keeping it safe? Agent Norkoff recommends that he redoubled his efforts in the investigation to get to the bottom of the matter.


Audit Log 20070711.1532 - Pulled up in front of the NSENT headquarters to continue surveillance. Immediately identified Bambuu and Rubino, a pair of leather-slave nancyboys I've seen trolling around hangar bays looking for grizzled miners to take home. Came sashaying out in matching Drakes like they were bought in some chintzy couples catalogue. Deviants. Initiated stage one audit procedures, subjects responded with aggressive posturing. Proceeded to stage two audit. Unable to break the suspects' tanks with standard issue equipment, decided to pull out the heavy heat. Both suspects docked and presumably called for reinforcements which arrived in the form of one icecream suited midget in an Enyo. Evgan Kerserki by name. Midget suspect immediately initiated hostile action, but fled within moments, evading pursuit. Continued surveillance.

Audit Log 20070712.0607 - The surveillance of the NSENT headquarters continues. Constant vigilance resulted in the identification of another NSENT criminal, Lt Pheonix in a Drake. Suspect immediately engaged Agent Norkoff's Myrmidon. Exchange of fire resulted in heavy damage to NSENT Drake. Second NSENT suspect appeared in the form of a single Merlin piloted by NSENT employee Trocan. NSENT Merlin subsequently destroyed while resisting audit, however suspect Drake escaped capture. Recalculation of NSENT fines and charges currently stands at 101,000,000 ISK. Furthermore, Agent Norkoff reccommends fitting of longer range warp disruptors on all IRS ships.

Audit Log 20070713.1634 - Conducting reconnaisance of Mito constellation in a Thorax. Identified the NSENT deviant Rubino in a Drake, amazingly not docked at NSENT headquarters. Plus, deviant is curiously without his/her(?) partner. Pursuit results in encounter with suspect outside station. Though outmatched, Agent Norkoff immediately engages. Drones initially inflict heavy damage on NSENT Drake, possibly indicating poor engineering skills or rampant stupidity. Furthermore, damage from suspect appears remarkably low for fully equipped battlecruiser. Suddenly, the second NSENT deviant Bambuu appears in local comm net and undocks from station! Damage output from deviant Rubino increase dramatically! Ambush! Glare from missile trails cover the screen. The nancyboy Drakes seem much less an amusing spectacle from a surveillance cruiser. Recall drones, engage drives to escape! Scrambled! Microwarp can't accelerate fast enough. Repairer can't keep up. Docking manager bribed to ignore comm channels! Thorax buckles under the impact of missiles and explodes. Agent Norkoff warps to safety in pod, while the deviants saunter to the wreckage. Grim day for the IRS. Humiliated by a pair of freaks! Current NSENT fines and charges at 109,000,000 ISK.

Audit Log 20070715.2311 - Continued surveillance of NSENT headquarters in a ProbeDomi(tm) in order to identify any transgressions of the tax code. Multiple NSENT employees began appearing in Drakes, Raven, Hyperion, Blackbird, and a frigate or two. Audit process lead to immediate hostile resistance, resulting in fines and the loss of one NSENT frigate. Further pursuit lead to inconclusive battles near the Otsasai jumpgate and Navy Assembly Yards. Agent Norkoff warped to P5 observation point and wandered to back of ship to relieve himself only to be interuppted by apparent asteroid strikes.

Returning to cabin Agent Norkoff noticed that the holo-vid SpaceAce Flashy Flashman IV: Return of SpaceAce was playing on the main viewscreen. In particular, the scene where Flashy's sidekick is surrounded and massacred by Caldari corporate thugs. Which was distinctly odd, as Agent Norkoff did not recall starting any vids before relieving himself. With dawning horror Agent Norkoff realized that it was not a holovid.

The NSENT criminals had somehow quickly tracked down the observation point! Already taking armor damage, Agent Norkoff deployed drones, engaged repair systems, and took a quick appraisal of the situation. 4 Drakes, 2 Interceptors, Blackbird, and Raven, all at point blank range. Raven chosen as primary and quickly began withering under fire from the drones. However, the IRS Dominix suffered heavily as well from over 30 heavy missile launchers - halfway thru armor and Raven's shields broken. Raven into armor! Raven has plate. Great.

Dominix armor reppers can't keep up, dipping into structure - Raven's armor being shredded and attempting to run. Halfway into structure, Raven hitting structure as well and falling fast. Quarter structure. Really wish these reppers could overheat. Raven is halfway. Just need a few more seconds.

Domi disintegrates in a fiery explosion, Agent Norkoff warps to safety, and the flaming hull of the Raven survives to limp away. The NSENT savages proceed to beat their chests and dance around the wreck like... well... savages. Current NSENT charges and fines stand at 220,000,000 ISK.

Audit Log 20070716.0214 - Following the destruction of the agency's ProbeDomi, the NSENT criminals appear to feel they have free reign of the constellation. A delusion they must be quickly disabused of. Surveillance indicates NSENT Moa piloted by leatherslave Bambuu has left system. Local contacts identify deviant's location, and logic dictates most probable return route. Pull Myrmidon from previous "employment" out of storage, prime systems, warp to jumpgate. Minutes pass.

Eventually the gate activates and Bambuu's transponder signal appears in local comm channel. Sensor boosters engaged. Five seconds pass. Nothing appears. 10 seconds. 15 seconds. Agent Norkoff smiles wolfishly. 20 seconds. Sentry drones deployed. CreoDron Gardes, standard issue. 30 seconds. Finally the Moa uncloaks with a screech. Targeting systems lock instantly. The Moa's shields disappear in the first volley of rail slugs and drone plasma bolts. The Moa pivots towards the gate, signature radius blossoming as it engages it's microwarp in a futile attempt to run back to the gate. Perfect railgun strikes punch through the Moa's armor, flames jetting out the exit holes. With the third volley, 9 seconds after uncloaking, the Moa disintegrates into wreckage and a lonely pod. Targeters lock, pod scrambled.

Suspect Bambuu - Employee of suspect corporation; multiple counts of resisting audit; involved in destruction of beloved IRS battleship. Terminal sanction. Railguns ripple in volley.



Audit Log 20070719.1643 - That last few days have been eventful, to say the least. A few small skirmishes have lead to the loss of an NSENT frigate and hauler, and the impound of 125K m3 of Plagioclase. However, for the most part the NSENT employees have begun hiding in higher sec systems, where they have obviously bribed corrupt forces in both Concord and the Caldari State to shoot IRS agents on sight. It is a shameful day when you can't even trust your own government.

The NSENT bribes extended even further into Concord than previously expected. Corrupt Concord bureaucrats oppossed the IRS audit on NSENT, citing some archaic and byzantine precedents from the Yulai Conventions. Audit applications resubmitted and filed.

Unfortunately, the illegal action by Concord and their subsequent extortive "legal fees" imposed a slight delay on the audit process. A delay which allowed NSENT to officially merge with their shadowy overlords - Combined Planetary Union (CPU). 23 corporations, 473 members. A crime syndicate spanning the galaxy, using fear, intimidation, and money to get their way. A smug letter from a weasely corrupt Concord clerk informed the agency that hostilities would begin in 24 hours. An overwhelming foe. A bribed police regime. Extortive legal fees meant to crush any resistance. There is no shame in cancelling an audit under such conditions.

But the IRS does not waver from their path. The IRS does not shirk it's duty. The IRS does allow any corporation, no matter how powerful or influential, to neglect their tax obligations. The audit will continue. Past due fees will be collected.

And yet still, the Concord trickery continued. A mere two hours after receiving the letter hostilities commenced. Local commchat filled with red. Various skirmishes ensued over the course of the following 12 hours resulting in the loss of one CPU Blackbird and no IRS losses.

Current CPU/NSENT taxes and fines stand at 203,000,000 ISK.

Audit Log 20070720.2021 - The past 24 hours of the expanded audit on NSENT/CPU has been a marked change from the previous week. Notably in the number of suspects resisting audit. Which unfortunately is reflective of the current sad state of the State. The most recent skirmish exemplifies the need for closed borders and increased restrictions on immigration control.

In this particular case, it was two individuals by the names of Padraig Oriley and Ryan Thiradeaux. Whatever happened to proper Caldari names like D34THST4LK3R, ikillurface, or Vladimir Norkoff? I'll tell you what happened, we let social parasites like these two into our space. One can obviously tell just by their names that they are illegal, border-crossing, day-laborers here to steal our industrial jobs, mine our veldspar, salvage our wrecks, and violate our women with their ridiculously large epeens. And on top of all that, they don't pay their taxes!

In any case, these two beltmonkies showed up in a Rifter and a Ferox about 100km out from the IRS Myrmidon. The Paddy in the Rifter immediately approached under microwarp and engaged at a 2km orbit. A few seconds of nos reduced the Rifter to a reasonable speed, and a subsequent web dropped it further to audit speed. Then sent comm transmission requesting ejection from ship via standard autocannon channels. The Mick complied in a fiery explosion. Follow-up request to report to his clone bay was complied with as well. By this time, the Frog had managed to get within 80km, at which point he promptly warped away.

Subsequent inspection of the Rifter identifed numerous T2 modules. Most likely stolen. Illegals working as busboys or gardeners can't afford decent gear. Instead they corpthieve and joyride the ships into combat without appropriate back-up. Disgusting. Pity we couldn't return it to it's rightful owner.

Current NSENT/CPU taxes and fines at 198,000,000 ISK.

Audit Log 20070713.1857 - The "audit" on corporation Northern Star Enterprises (NSENT) is a blatant attempt to extort.

Any further attempts to extort "taxes" from NSENT or its members will result in action being taken against IRS. IRS clearly has no legal right to conduct an audit of our corporation, nor does it have the means to enforce it.

Dear Mr/Mrs(?) Nuko,

The Income Redistribution Service thanks you for your information. Though unaware of any transgressions by Star Fraction, we shall endeavor to make an inquiry at our earliest possible convenience. Might we add that your forthcoming nature is certainly a refreshing change in these dark times of rampant tax evasion. Your enthusiasm to submit your alliance to an audit speaks volumes about Star Fraction's integrity. One tax agent. 98 members of Star Fraction. In acknowledgement, we offer Star Fraction a complimentary "golf clap". Bravo.

Sincerely,

Vladimir Norkoff, Agent/CEO

Dear Mr. Norkoff.

Having gone over our books, we have found that, in fact, we have paid too much in taxes lately. As a result, we request that the IRS pays back 70 million to the NSENT. Furthermore, we also request that the IRS replace ships lost and will be willing to settle for a total of 100million in repayment. As for the loss of IRS ships, this was obviously a result of self defence from the brave pilots under our flag and will as such not be reimbursed in any way by NSENT.

Yours sincerely,
Artovictus.

Dear Mr/Mrs(?) Artovictus,

We have received your letter. Unfortunately it is utter tripe. Neither you, nor any of the other deadbeats in your organization are qualified tax agents. Therefore you cannot possibly make an appropriate analysis of your tax records. Furthermore, there are no other qualified sources for tax information other than the Income Redistribution Service. We are the only agency that can properly assess your tax status.

As we have stated numerous times, your taxes are seriously deliquent. Additionally, your failed corporation has incurred fines in the course of audit procedures. Your current charges as of 20070720 amount to 198 million (198,000,000) ISK. This amount is due immediately and payable to the IRS or any of it's agents.

Please be warned that further inane letters, comments, requests for information of any type, continued existence of your corporation, or pretty much anything else you do will be punishable by further fines.

Your Friend Always,

Vladimir Norkoff, Agent/CEO

- A member of the Black Rabbits for six months. In other words a pirate.

-IRS in your own words "is a completely fictious bureau independent of and unconnected to any government, empire, or alliance in the EVE universe". So your not working for anyone.

Since your keeping the "income" then it can only be assumed that your working for yourself, and your past speaks for itself so a conclusion can be easily reached.

Audit Log 20070722.0214 - I love it when a plan comes together! Previous surveillance of the Mito constellation had lead to the near loss of an IRS Drake. Arrival through a warp gate was met with a welcoming commitee of CPU interceptors, cruisers, and battleships. They've gotten smarter. Fortunately, the strategic brilliance and forethought of the IRS saved the day with a full rack of stabs. Honestly, you'd think by their actions that they haven't realized that the IRS is always one step ahead of them.

In any case, deeply unnerved by the close call the agency swtiched from the fruitless auditing of NSENT/CPU combat operations to auditing the criminal syndicate's infrastructure. Previously, a CPU tower was identified in Otsasai space outfitted with poorly situated medium artillery, no webs, no disruptors. An obvious job for a small ship, which lead to the agency's purchase of an Imicus frigate. While most would scoff at the Imicus as a substandard ship, the attractive saleswoman with the plunging neckline assured me that it did indeed function admirably as a surveillance ship just as it says in the description. Knowing that sales associates never lie, and firmly believing in the ship's assests, we promptly purchased it and set out to further investigate the tower.

Arrival at the tower revealed some new additions. Stasis web battery. Warp Disruption Battery. Small Autocannon. Apparently monkies can learn. The tower initiated hostilities when it eventually fired back, and a quick warp off prevented any further damage. So while still in one piece, the agency found itself saddled with a fairly crappy frigate of questionable usefulness. Bloody lying tramp. I knew I never should have bought this thing. Well nothing to do but patrol the area I guess. A few jumps take us a little farther south than we normally go, and local commchat indicates a pair of CPU hooligans. Luna HI, a known prostitute and part time ore smuggler; and Cerb Windu her creepy companion and dogsbody. A quick scan identifies them in a belt, undoubtably mining without a license. Ship identification shows a Badger and a... HULK?!! Bingo!

Slam the warp accelerator and charge the Imicus into the belt! Both targets over 20km off, Hulk/Luna to the right, Badger/Windu to the left. No question which is target. Hulk has Acolytes and Valks out. Could be bad. Kick in the afterburner and light it up with targeters. Try to close to the ridiculously short range of a scrambler. Hulk warps. Graaah!! Flip around and head towards the Badger. 20km. 15. 10. 9. 8. Badger warps. Son of a-!! Drum fingers on console fuming. Well at least they left the drones. Trundle on over to scoop them up. Suddenly there's a flash of red on the screen. Incoming! It's.. the Hulk? Wtf?! Warps right on top of me. Oookkaayy. All your drone are now belong to us, ace. Targeters lock. Release Hobgoblins. Fire ACs. Engage scrambler that she was so kind to warp into range of. Steadily chewing through shield. Hulk futily thrashing around boosting shields and attmepting to warp. Transmit request for payment of past due taxes. Request denied with some choice vulgarities. So be it. Hulk into armor. This is going to be so sweet. Huh? Wha's that? Flash of red out of the corner of my eye. Windu. Caracal. Damn! Windu locking. Hulk in armor. Windu firing missiles. Taking heavy damage. Hulk still in armor. Jammed. FFS DIE YOU STUPID HULK!! Windu closing into disruptor range. Slam the button and warp away cursing the entire time... So close.

Audit Log 20070722.0214 - Continued - Quick repair and refit with Luna's crap drones. Head back to belt. Hopefully my Hobgobbie's are still there. They aren't. But Windu is. Fine. If he has jammers he has a garbage tank. Let's do it. Imicus charges on full afterburner. Windu locks back. Closing the distance. Send out the drones. Viewscreen turns white. CONCORD!! The world freezes. After all this time, they've finally come for me!! My life flashes before my eyes. All the crimes, all the ganked mission runners, the nubs at the gates, the flipped cans, everything. Windu explodes. Wtf? I look at Concord. Concord looks at Windu. I look at Windu. Windu looks at Concord. I blow the ever living snot out of Windu's pod. Bloody criminal. That's what you get for breaking the law!

Return to Oimmo smiling. Windu and Luna filter into system and begin sharing their plebian socialist views of life filled with a broad selection of vulgarities and threats. Suffice to say, they pledge ever lasting enimity against Agent Norkoff and ominously suggest that he "watch his back." In response, fit up a new wonder ship. A Moa! Proceed to engage in a few skirmishes with CPU gangsters. Successfully audit a Badger under the nose of a CPU Drake. The IRS cannot be stopped.



Audit Log 20070722.0409 - Epliogue - The wee hours of the morning. Have been popping boosters all night to stay awake. Stumble into ship and undock. Nothing in local commchat. Hit the warp gate, destination south. Same sytem. Same belt. She's there. The idiot. The Hulk. Lock, scramble, fire. No transmissions, no negotiation. There is no help this time. The IRS does not take kindly to threats.

Current NSENT/CPU past due charges now at 52,000,000 ISK.

What I truly do not understand in this on-going rant of publically filed audit logs, is how anyone expects to carry out an active extortion racket while at the same time broadcasting their records of extortion publically.

Sir, Mr. Norkoff, you are not the 'Taxman.' Nothing in the word Taxman actually appropriately defines 'Mugger.'

Even the name of your corporation insinuates petty theft.

I would like to thank mr. Norkoff for perfectly illustrating the nature of taxes. Taxes is nothing else than force, and it is irrelevant whether it is levied by one's own corporation or by a foreign corporation.

This statement is however in no way a support of the NSENT corporation. As it itself levies taxes on its employees, it has accepted the principle that taxes (i.e. force) is legitimate. There is in principle not much that seperates the NSENT from mr. Norkoff.

The only defence against tax leviation is the principle that the initiation of force is illegitimate. Unfortunately the undersigned is aware of only a few entities in the universe that upholds this last premise.

I would like to thank mr. Norkoff for perfectly illustrating the nature of taxes. Taxes is nothing else than force, and it is irrelevant whether it is levied by one's own corporation or by a foreign corporation.

This statement is however in no way a support of the NSENT corporation. As it itself levies taxes on its employees, it has accepted the principle that taxes (i.e. force) is legitimate. There is in principle not much that seperates the NSENT from mr. Norkoff.

The only defence against tax leviation is the principle that the initiation of force is illegitimate. Unfortunately the undersigned is aware of only a few entities in the universe that upholds this last premise.


Not entirely accurate. Well, not at all really. In fact, there isn't even a remote parallel for me to really discuss. Your argument is without merit. However, I will explain it, so you will continue to not understand and others can observe it for humor.

I choose to be in a corporation who levies taxes, and not all of them do. I understand that a communal wealth lends itself to stability. The taxes are not forced but rather, in light choice volunteered. The taxation is, in all actuality, a convenience of sorts for negotiating the means of voluntary contribution to the greater whole.

Can taxes be abused? Definately.
In the end, are taxes escapable - easily? Yes.

The difference between Mr. Mugger and a Corporate Tax is quite simple.

No one in my corp has ever killed me for missing a payment.


The above described escapades are elitist, violent, and - most importantly, overly ignorant.

If he had an actual real philosophical premise for the justification of his wanton ignorance, it might even fall into the realm of tolerable, but it is instead the work of defective genes accurately cloned into - defective genes.

Dear Mr/Mrs(?) Fate,

I am not entirely sure why you choose to subject the universe to your "armchair economic" ramblings. However, as I am a tax professional I feel it is my duty to dissect your poorly strung together chain of thoughts and reveal it for the insipid idiocy that it truely is. While I am sure that your gibbering plays well in the hedonistic, short attention span theater that defines Gallente "culture", any person with a marginal amount of intelligence can identify it for liberal fecal spewing it is. Now please pay attention.

All taxes are indeed levied by force. Taxes are taken, they are not volunteered. They are a requirement imposed by a stronger party upon a weaker one as a measure of tribute and power. What you naively call "tax", is actually just charity. If you wish to give your money away, that's fine. You are certainly a posterchild for the decadent communist welfare state that spawned you. However, please bear in mind that those who take charity are inherently unworthy of receiving it. They are the shackles on the economy that drag it down, stifling it's strength and vitality. If you take a close look at yourself and your pathetic commune (I hesitate to call it a corporation), you will undoubtably see that this is true.

The fact that "No one in [your] corp has ever killed [you] for missing a payment" simply reinforces your commune's corrupt nature. If a payment is required, it must be enforced. It is that simple. The failure to enforce rules and requirements leads to a breakdown of the very structure of society itself. Society is ruled by, and flourishes under, a strong set of laws. Those who flout the laws have no place in society and must be weeded out. Fortunately the Income Redistribution Service is here to help make, interpret, and enforce those laws.

Sincerely,

Vladimir Norkoff, Agent/CEO

This quote is ridiculous, friend. Violence may solve problems, however only temporarily. It causes anger, fear, and aggression all of which are counter-productive and cause us to lose focus on the things that mean the most to us.

While I applaufd the attempt, I have to disagree with you here as well. While a peaceful resolution to a conflict would be ideal - it is more often then not mipossible. So we turn to the next step - violence. Our problems will resolve or we will die trying. And when we die, the problem is solved. When our opposition dies, the problem is solved. Only when both sides cower from conflict does the problem remain. The 'peaceful' solution - the ceasefire, more often then not, begets only another war, later in time, more bloody and more costly then the first.

Violence has always, and will always unify, not divide, by its very premise. It is destroying or weakening those that would oppose you.

Certainly, there may be a case of a martyr or some temporal rally against this tactic. There may an increase in resistance, but this is temporary.

With just time, training and fear and any man can be a tool of any other - no matter the cause.

When there is a purpose, violence can be an effective method of achieving one's goals. On the flipside, and as Mr. Fate has mentioned, peaceful resolutions are ideal. The common man would most likely tire and weaken under constant violent scenarios, which, speaking on the topic of achieving goals, would make them unfavorable for long term use. It's and iffy subject I'm afraid, and I for one, do not exclusively support either. Use what works.

Now, as for Mr. Norkoff's slightly iffy interpretation of tribute/tax enforcement, I must disagree with how you think taxes should be enforced -- this being based solely on your response to Mr. Fate. For instance, I owe a monthly tuition to the Imperial Academy -- if I were to not pay it, well, guess what would happen? Based on your standards, my dues would be "enforced", quite barbaricly from what I can tell.

Thankfully, what would happen in actuality would be that I'd recieve a letter, and I'd be thrown out. You'd be surprised how that could leave me in a perilous position, considering that I have studies to keep on top of. As you can see, there are certainly non-violent ways of putting someone under the crunch.

Well spoken and accurate, I am surprised. I didn't think the Imperial Academy fostered that kind of reasonable philosophy.

You only judge the book by its cover. This woman.. This Amarr woman, could have been forced into such an institute, hypothetically speaking of course. Yes, I am Caldari, but Caldari is but a word.

As for this taxman... A Tax Collecter is one of the most hated people, though I feel sorry for the position he holds, i do not feel sorry for him for choosing his profession.

You have obviously not read the long discussion here.

Second, Caldari is just a word that represents a race. Imperial however, does not represent a race, it represents an affiliation. It is her Chosen affiliation. Choice. There is no one stopping her from leaving it.

The difference is immense - like night and day.

Obviously.

Audit Log 20070725.2217 - The past couple days of surveillance have been rather uneventful. Just the typical series of amateurish CPU traps and feebly attempted ganks. None successful, really more of an easily avoided nuissance than anything else. Only item of note being a single encounter. Occurred while running patrols through the southern systems with the dismal little Imicus we have found ourselves stuck with. I hate the stupid thing, yet find myself in it far too often moving supplies and searching for audit suspects.

In any case, jump through a gate and notice a CPU suspect - wind starz in his Nighthawk. Seen him a few times before. Been flying for more than a few years, commandship, a formidable opponent. More than the crap Imicus can handle. He's sitting 50km off the gate. Exceptionally confident, no doubt. Or possibly... possibly he's just exceptionally stupid. Tap lip pondering. Quickly search the market, find ship scanner and sensor booster. Fit up, warp to gate, light him up. Result comes back. T2 heavy launchers, T2 extenders, shield relays, cloaking device?, short range scram?!, ffs is that a stab?!!, OMFG WHAT IS THAT?!!! Cringe in horror from the screen. He didn't! Peek through fingers. Omg he did! It's a travesty! How could somebody do such a thing to a commandship?! We cannot allow this! It's an outrage that the IRS cannot let go unavenged! The poor ship must be put out of it's misery!

Fly back. Look in the hangar. We need something to make a statement. The Moa! Death by Moa is the only answer for this crime! Jump back. Scan position. At the other gate. Warp. There he is! 40km off gate again. Engage microwarp and begin lumbering towards him. Any normal opponent and the Moa would be dead before it got 20km, instead I'm on him, scrambling and firing before he can even lock. ACs, HAMs, and drones start chewing into the shields. Never thought I'd wish for Acolytes, but I am now. Then the Nighthawk starts hitting back. Hard. T2 missiles and drones. Shields dropping fast. Maybe the Moa was a bit overly optimistic? Shields dropping very fast and he's barely at 75%. Time to bug out. Quick burst on the MWD, wave goodbye to my drones wishing them the best of luck, and warp off to station. Bloody hell. Shoulda brought a bigger ship. Will probably never get this chance again.

Get back to home station and start planning. The new Domi. Been working on it for awhile. Think I finally know what to do with it.
