Scraping together the isk we had spare and decide we can afford to throw away a small pos and a few drakes in an effort to see if we can survive in WH space, one quick shopping spree later we have our trusty Orca stuffed with a small pos a load of ECM modules a few guns and fuel for 2 weeks.
Our move plan was to drop into the lowsec system that connected to the C5 I got lost in and then through into the C3 and setup home, and thats when things started to go wrong.
We warp to the lowsec entrance gate and find some pilots lurking, we wait and they carry on lurking, we take bets on them being pirates, they carry on lurking... We throw sence to the wind and attempt a jump. They follow.... &*@~#^&...
We now have a fleet of 1 drake (with very badly trained pilot), 1 orca with 1/2 a bil of gear on board, and a hauler with various other bits of kit and 2 pirates waiting for us to decloak. Some quick thinking and a bad decision later the drake has got to warp and the hauler is being attacked by one of the pirates. Lucky for us the gate guns are on our side and get that one ship to the point where he has to warp off and abandon the hunt on the hauler. Just leaves one pirate whale hunting at the gate...
Eventually whale requires air takes a gulp and dives back into the cloaky depths with the cloak we were smart enough to install. Unfortunately the whale hunter now knows exactly where to look, another snap decision to see if we were lucky enough to have a pirate who doesn't use a warp scrambler lead to whale being netted and impending doom closing in.
By this point we'd managed to stop panicking enough to get our drake heading back towards the gate to reinforce the space whale, and combined with the guns we manage to escape to the relative safety of the wormhole.
Lesson learned: Whales can tank...
