While I was chilling in Citadel 101 and sorting containers I heard "Suspect on grid with me" on comms and I was not suprised since Aeon was in Amygnon and I warned HSC about his combat probing beforehand. It was Kris who was asking assistance and I said I am coming. He reported that he was in full PvE Raven so he had no tackle on him so it would be tricky to hold him until I went there. I told him not to engage until I say so. I began warping to Kris and then asked Kris to engage Aeon when I am very closeby.
Kris engaged Aeon's stabber and that created a Limited Engagement Timer between him and Aeon. When I landed on grid I saw Stabber was already too far from our engagement range and he was burning off. We could not engage him due to range and he had no point on Kris as well. I told Kris to procced his mission pocket through acceleration gate and I would guard the gate in case he comes close to warp in.
Aeon left grid but I was not convinced he left for good and kept my position. Later, I saw Bhaalgorn on d-scan and warned Kris about it and prepare to warp off if that Bhaalgorn belongs to Aeon. Moments later Aoen landed on grid with his Bhaalgorn. I said Kris to warp off but he responded that he could not due to NPC tackle on him. Bhaalgorn was trying to bait me by yellow boxing me and here I did a mistake not to engage him and giving him enough time to use the acceleration gate. I thought he could engage Raven and then I can get in and engage him as well and our combined firepower could kill him easier then I solo him. But it was a huge mistake since Raven was a PvE fit and fully active instead of buffer tank. So Bhaalgorn neuts can cripple it very easily.

Well I made the mistake and Bhaalgorn used the gate and warped in to tackle Raven furthermore and engaged him. I warped in to mission pocket as well and engaged the Bhaalgorn as well and called for reinforcements from HSC again. Under Bhaalgorn neuts and fire Raven was destroyed quickly and fight continued between me and Aeon. Hyperion vs Bhaalgorn. HSC was responding but there was a long period of 1vs1 between me and Aeon and we were trying hard to overpower each other. I was repairing the damage inflicted by Bhaalgorn and Bhaalgorn doing the same, I had neuts on me as well. At some point I hit reload on my Ancillary Repairer instead of reloading the Cap Booster. That was a huge mistake and now I had to wait 1 full minute until I can cycle my repairs again. My armor buffer hold 1 minute and my capacitor was still holding under neuts so now I can repair myself again. Bhaalgorn was also repairing very nicely although it began to fail slowly.
Hey there, we are here (finally) !
At this point Kris and Merchaan joined the battle with Vexors. At this stage Bhaalgorn was bleeding its armor slowly, I was repairing the armor damage I am taking and 2 vexors began inflicting damage to Bhaalgorn. I think Bhaalgorn was also having issue on maintaining its capacitor as well while keeping his firepower on me and finally it crippled under fire.
We looted the field and then retreated to the Citadel 101, exchanged "Good Fights" in local and some after combat remarks.
