Back to the story.

I warped in on the Harbinger at the acceleration gate, watching as Aria successfully pops the Harbinger. Aria says "Siig, I'm toast," and watch his Phobos explode as well. A group of hostile Caldari Militia are now here and I begin to take down their damage dealers. I nearly instapop a Coercer and then switch my sights to a Thrasher, who goes down in one volley.

I call for backup. "Guys, this is Siig, my Proteus needs assistance. All available ships warp to Siigari. You must be out of the plex to warp to me." I start to sweat, realizing there are a lot of frigates here that are going to be difficult to track. I pop Warriors. I start to engage a Rifter, then realize my drones are navigating too fast to track him. I do a recall/attack maneuver but to no avail. I then realize I'm going to have problems if I stay here for much longer, and no backup has arrived so I scoop my Warriors and deploy a set of ECM drones on the Rifter and a Drake who is shooting me. I attempt to warp. No go.

Calmly, I use my Look At tool on the Rifter and start to match my direction to his. He's afterburning and I'm scrambled so I can't match his speed. My guns still fail to hit him, so I turn all my attention to the Drake. I chuckle at the low damage from his missiles and my tank is sustaining itself. A Crusader and another Rifter are now on top of me and I start to get a bit frustrated, so I call for help again. "Guys, this is Siig. They've got a few more ships here, where are you guys?" I overload my entire gun rack and offline my nosferatu. I plug the Drake for everything I've got, and ECM him. I watch as his shields start to melt to pieces then before I know it my tank is at 50%. I overload my hardeners and rep, receiving an outstanding 94/92/95/94 resist to Armor, and my rep blisters at 942 rep/cycle. My cap dries up and I overload my cap booster for another hit.

Losing armor quickly and patience even faster, I shout in my mic "HEY! WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?" and continue attempting to keep whatever kind of tank/dignity I have left. I check my overview... what can I take down in the next 30 seconds? Nothing. Frigs are too far off, my drones are being picked off and I'm running out of options. What can I do?

Voice is dead silent. Nobody is saying anything and I shout out loud "TO HELL WITH PLEXING" and my ship explodes.
