Wormholes

I will add 100 million on top of that so its 200 mil now

Me an a corp mate were camping a wh and a noctis landed on grid at the hole, I jumped through to be back stop and so did my corp mate. The noctis turned around and warped off. It looked like we ran away from a noctis, the yelling on comms blaming each other was hilarious. I cant imagine what the noctis pilot thought was happening.

Not the best story but hopefully it will get the ball rolling on this

Back when we were very new. Invading our first C2-C4/HS - two corps were present. Scouting shows minimal activity, couple caps to steal or disconsolately watch being SDd but a reasonable chance of some pewpew. The hole has decent PI and a super exciting Red Giant effect (oooh). So we up the staging stick.

Day 1:

Corp X discovers hostile tower & batphones Mr. Helix of Surely You're Joking infamy. Transpires Corp X had an old friend of some duder in SYJ, back when they were still a thing and has called in a favour. We cannot fight them as they are the HK of their day sizewise, only, worse and our hole control 'fleet' maxes out at a Phobos, Taranis and Vexor. Diplomacy ensues.

[SYJ] - We have been called in to prevent you from taking this system, is that what you intend?
[TFP] - Uhh... maybe? (Grade A diplomancy, keep cards close to chest)
[SYJ] - It seems pretty obvious you want to move in. No flies on this one.
[TFP] - Uhh... we haven't decided yet? Diplomancer skills exhausted already
[SYJ] - Well if you want it, fact is I CBA pinging my crew to dunk a small PVP group. My friend has no ISK and Corp Y that lives in here are carebears with poor social skills. So I have a proposition.
[TFP] - .... Not what we were expecting.
[SYJ] - 2b. 1b for us, 1b for Corp X. They were planning on moving out anyway. We do, however, require killmails of all capitals/towers from Corp Y because this would be pleasing to us. If you fail at any of the above we will come back and burn you out.
[TFP] - This would be pleasing to us also. Fuckyeah! no chance our 8 men will have two carriers dropped on them

Day 2/3:

Siegey monotony. Corp X moves out peacefully. Corp Y is confused at the betrayal. Angry mails are sent forth and duly ignored.

Day 4:

Final tower comes out of reinforce and we begin grinding. A wild Thanatos floats threateningly inside.
All is quiet, boring, the usual. But this is our first eviction and our first decent WH so we're in good spirits still. Swapping stories n vids on comms as you do. But wait, what is this?

'Lo, a solo Corp Y nubling appears. His tower is surrounded, he is horribly outnumbered, and his kb says he's clearly not got a clue so we begin metaing him hard. 'You will lose everything. Your friends have abandoned you. We offer you a way out with all your stuff. We are your real buddies. All you have to do.... is bump that Thanatos from the shields.

The man had no passwords, no idea what bumping was, and only seemed interested in retrieving his vauable collection of ores and blueprints. We knew as soon as someone else logged in the gig would be up so we start encouraging/helping the nub any way we can. Comms goes mental with exhortations the moment he grabs a Vexor with a prop and begins dinking the carrier out. *dink*.....*dink*.....*miss* ... *dink*.

10-15 mins go by and we are all slowly lining up at this thing's exit point to grab it getting more and more wound up. 'COMEON NUBLING - ALMOST THERE - YOU CAN DO IT!'

Suddenly - CEO and some Director dude login. Butts pucker. Our newbro friend lines up for one last heroic bump. It hits! Thanny picks up speed... coasts... just clears shields! Success! Friendly jumps in and warps as higherups land in shields. I like to think they saw it leave grid but IDK.

For a few minutes we exchange pleasantries in local and pretend nothing unusual is happening. They know their Thanny is gone and their tower is about to pop but they're not sure why yet. We say nothing.

A few more minutes pass and our traitorous friend boards a shuttle, and is squadwarped by his CEO to the local gas planet. 'This is curious', we think. But stick at blapping the POS while spamming D. It shows Talos and Shuttle on short. Shortly after Talos + wreck. A brief moment passes then it's Talos + Nubling Cadaver and the hilarity and excitement that went with stealing our first capital is instantly tempered by a strong and lingering guilt.

TLDR - new WH corp gets high bandwidth content paying ironprice for their first real Wspace system. Noob without a clue assists in cap theft - feels so awful at what he's done when confronted by his corp's CEO that he tells all. Gets comissarred at celestial for his trouble.

We filled his wallet to say thanks for cheering up our siege, but I feel bad to this day. I hope he still plays, bless his cotton socks.
