I had already asked our scout (in an interceptor) to check the next system when I decided to take a chance on checking out a cyno in system. There was only one neutral in system and nothing on Dscan but the cyno was out of Dscan range. It seemed simple enough. We're in fast ships, if someone drops on us it should be easy to get away, right? What could possibly go wrong? I asked a veteran pilot (not in an interceptor) to warp to the cyno at 100 and report on what he sees.
An uncomfortable silence ensued and when I asked for an update, I was greeted with, "I'm about to go down. Yep, I'm down."

It turns out there is a station in TXW-EI that is always bubbled and the owner likes to use a cyno as bait.
The sound you hear is me pulling the fish hook out of my mouth.
Now, we wanted to generate some killmails more than ever!
Unfortunately, the only thing we found was a single Atron.

We had already lost the pilot who investigated the cyno and another had to leave. With only 3 pilots remaining and content so lacking, I called the end of the roam.
Overall evaluation
- ✔ (Positive stuff) - The pacing was a bit better than the last roam. It was still slow, but it was better.
✔ (Positive stuff) - The fleet performed very well on the single kill we had, including ...
✔ (Positive stuff) - Our tackle pilot disengaged once secondary scram was in place
✘ (Negative stuff) - The roam was very ISK negative
✘ (Negative stuff) - Sending a non interceptor to go anywhere near a cyno was a bad decision.
✘ (Negative stuff) - I was not very consistent in how I issued commands for warping, jumping and scouting.
✘ (Negative stuff) - Not everyone in the fleet is on the killmail for the Atron. Once the ship was locked down, I should have called for a hold on DPS and confirmed everyone had locked the target and then called for damage to be applied.
I'll do better next time.
