Our corp had just joined a new alliance and we were in the process of moving the corp gear from our old base of ops to our new one.
The alliance had a few staging POS so that alliance members could get around fairly safely. Two of us are in fully travel fitted Archons and were making a few trips - we only had a couple to go so all was good.
I forget the system in question that had the mid-point POS but noted that it had been quiet for the majority of our jumps and things were nearly done. My mate lit the cyno and we jumped - he made it to the shields of the POS, he was lucky and 'landed' within a couple of km and I jumped in probably no more than 13km from the shields.
At that moment, a member of a reputable pvp corp entered the system and it was noted that he was in a Stilleto - no worries as one of us was in the shields, I was close and the guns would shoot him when/if he came.
I don't know what made me think of it BUT I then realised that the cyno alt was a neut and hadn't been shot... quick cloak and all is good - speed is recovering and I am slowly making it to the POS.
Next, the stilleto is at the pos - eek! it takes him all of 20 seconds to realise that it hasn't locked him and 100+ of his chums enter local...
I am now thinking okay - all is good as long as I can make it to the POS - not long to go. I then note that the inty is getting damed close... he is orbiting the pos and will be on an intercept course if he and I both continue on the same headings - he must have scanned and seen two Archons and must have sussed out that one of them (ie me!) was cloaked.
My cap is regenned enough that I can jump out - I start screaming at my other corp mate at the end destination to get ready to light the cyno.
The fleet get to the pos and the inty is about 20km away from me and spookily heading right at me. Quick last check, cap is good to go, cyno is lit, uncloak and gtfo - I swear to god that he was under 10km away from me when I jumped.
I made it to the destination all okay but had to go sit down for 10 mins as I was shaking that much lol :) I swear, the feeling of dread and helplessness that came over me when that all kicked off is something that I will always remember 
Only in Eve!
