Today I am posting for the first time to tell a story and bring mental closure to our plight.

Background information:

Our friend, Acheaen, is deployed and serving his country as an American soldier. He requested that we look after his carrier while he was away. He is an exceedingly loyal friend and an exceptionally good man. He has always been there for us whenever we needed him.

The situation:

Eve Animal Control, specifically F.R.E.E. Explorer, an alliance bent on eliminating squatters from wormholes invaded J101612 , the wormhole where Acheaen's Nidhoggur is stationed eight days ago. They requested that we pay them 10 billion isk to leave. Out of honor, we declined. We expected that the Thanatos and the POS would go down, but we tried not to lose hope over the Nidhoggur.

Ever since, it has been my husband, myself, and our good friend, Dad defending the Nidhoggur with everything we've got. (Namely, a Domination tower, fitted well with batteries, a Thanatos and whatever ships I can bring in) We have managed to rally small fleets of friends on 3 occasions, to no avail other than morale boosts. While our friends have offered us help at points throughout the ordeal, we have been putting in 8 hour shifts, guarding the POS and the carrier.

Due to our real life priorities as students and the need to support ourselves via jobs, my husband and I cannot hold the POS any longer. We have unfortunately failed our friend.

Let it be known that we did our best to save Olympia, the Nidhoggur in an attempt to ensure that our friend did not return from duty to a lost carrier and fend off the ruffians that are Eve Animal Control.

What more can 3 people with infrequent support do against a 93 man corporation other than fend them off for a little more than a week?

Thank you for your time.

So is the POS still up? Is FREEE pulling out??? What is the situation?
