''The 27th was a Monday and I didn't expect to play EVE that day as I'd been quite busy. I logged into EVE about 21:30 to update my training queue, intending to log straight back out as I had an early start the next day. I leave my PC on 24hrs a day so I started to scour through the days jabber pings. At first, nothing unusual. But I slowly noticed their was an awful lot of them and then as I scrolled down I was hit with constant pings of titans going and rage logging. I don't think I've ever logged in so fast. As the client loaded I was receiving fresh pings for subcaps. All hell was breaking loose. I ran downstairs for my arbitrary juice and snacks for the ensuing night shift and while downstairs the reality of the situation hit me. Titan kills, tidi unlike anything anyone has ever experienced and then I thought about how long this fight could potentially last. It dawned on me that we could be at this until downtime. It's not the kind of event where you can just dock up when you've had enough and RL beckons.''

''I joined a supcap fleet of dominix's led by FC [http://evewho.com/pilot/Sanreiko%20Mei%20Riyakami/ Sanreiko Mei Riyakami]. The operation wasn't in B-R and I'll admit that I was actually relieved. No titan killmails for me but non of the excruciating ti-di either. The intel we received was that the enemy was trying to break of their respective staging areas to bring reinforcements to B-R, NCdot out of GXK and Nulli out of I-N. We were tasked with preventing Nulli from breaking out of I-N whilst protecting fresh convoys of dictors into B-R. We escorted around 50 dictors into B-R then focused on I-N. From 22:15 to 01:15 we killed almost everything that tried to break out of station. Around 75 kills in total including 9 carriers. At this point victory was assured and as the USTZ came into full swing I retired for the night knowing that every pilot no matter where they were played his/her part in this historic battle.''
