My poor poor hurricane...

Where to begin, we’ve had a busy week! Started off with a few light skirmishes, nothing to write home about. But! We were engaged by a Sleipnir, Lachesis, Raven and Domi. And we killed them all!!! Thus representing the first command ship kill for section X, and tbh it was easier than we thought. Although his fit was a little unusual! The Sleipnir also dropped a faction nano, but upon closer inspection the faction nano seems like a waste of money.
We have been declared upon by ReBirth; Vo1d had a small entanglement with them a few weeks back and lost his BS, so we knew there was history. These guys mean business, Navy Mega’s, command ships and a gaggle of HAC’s and recons. We were not going to do well. But still we undocked in super secret section x formation 5 beta 3. It went surprisingly well, we knew we’d either win or die horribly, Turns out that whilst we did not win, we didn’t die horribly, Spec went down after taking a mammoth beating. Tactics were revised and we hope to fly that way again soon. We also have a new recruit, akuma. He was a guy recruited from eve-pirate.com (check the link) and we greeted him as any normal recruit, but it soon turned out he was more than capable at holding his own, he had a good idea about fittings and was good under pressure, Days later we welcomed him as a full member!! Woo!
More sad news. During a brain storming session, myself, pax and akuma forged a ferox fitting since the new hull upgrades it has received have made it quite competent. Initial tests look good and we decided to move ahead into a fleet operation. I oversaw the operation from my Hurricane whilst those two performed the relevant operational qualification tests. An enemy curse was visible from the station, and I took the opportunity to try and kill the curse. I happened to have a bookmark in close prosimity to the curse, and me and akuma warped off to get into position. Pax held on station ready to fly in. When we landed we were 40kms from the curse, I sensed trouble and ordered a retreat. It was too late akuma was neuted and tackled. I tried to engage the curse in an attempt to scare it off, when local begun to fill with war targets. A navy megathron came out of warp on my port bow, I was scrammed ordered my cane out of the battlefield at best speed. A sacrilege class heavy assault ship began to orbit me and pummel me with its heavy assault missiles. I exchanged fire for a good 30s, but with the sacrilege in the last remnants of armor one of the enemy hit a critical blow to my fusion reactor, the ship blew apart instantly rocketing my pod into local space battered and barely intact. Luckily I managed to pilot the small craft back to a nearby station for critical repairs.
I really liked that hurricane….
