=== Thera 2: The Uni Strikes Back ===

As the bulk of Uni's leadership was brought up to speed on the situation, a new plan was formulated involving hiring Wingspan for their locator services. I was the FC leading the infiltration group on that final push to get into Innu. Wingspan is renown throughout New Eden for their wormhole locator services and they are highly efficient at finding wormholes. They were able to find us a connection to Innu via the C3 static. We had to burn several jumps through lowsec and nullsec; getting [[Smartbombs|smartbombed]] to fuck once and having to burn back again. ~~This~~ proved to be the most effective as we successfully infilled approximately 20+ pilots.

After bouncing from stargate to ping to stargate for several systems, the one system I decided to warp the entire fleet direct to the gate was the one where we got smartbombed by some random Machariels. Despite this frustrating delay, the locator services strategy proved to be the most effective as we successfully infilled approximately 20+ pilots.

==== 11th Hour Betrayal ====

At some point during our efforts to infil as many pilots into Innu as possible, likely around the time the second Thera infil operation began, we became aware that our strategic reserve of doctrine ships intended specifically for this type of situation were gone. There are no logs that record who takes and places assets in the cans and hangars used to store all those doctrine ships. I will return to ~~this~~ later. As the FC trying to rally people to Thera, I did my best not to share this detail as it was not going to do anything except discourage pilots from joining the infil fleet. Our hope was that despite this major setback that we would have enough ships from WHC folks that we would be able to have something for everyone to fly.

==== The Final Fight for the Fortizar ====

By the time

By the time the infiltration fleet had arrived in Innu, the only remaining structure was a fortizar named The Rock, the main docking structure for WHC. The structure was in hull and therefore there was no reason to hold back. Although those of us who had been a part of clean up operation from the unscheduled unanchoring had seen a few capital ships in Innu after years of speculation that there were caps in some director-level hangar, this was the first time that we had seen all the capitals undocked (other than the few that were blown up or trashed to deny opfor the killmail). Unfortunately, the capital fits had not been updated in some time and were not optimized for the engagement we were facing.

That left the subcap fleet, FC'd by Archimede, to try to push off opfor long enough for the structure to repair. While initial shipping up was roughly something of a doctrine, the ships were ill-equipped and died quickly. After initial shipping up, reships were a hodgepodge of random ships that had been turned over by WHC members to be distributed as needed.
