For a while now, I've been planning this hit on a day that turns out to be rather slow. Being particularly lazy that night, I soon went to check the good Mr. Zeus out.
But low and behold, some activity on Mr. Zeus! No way, Mr. Zeus keeps very healthy sleeping hours, something must be amiss.
Turns out another gentleman and mister, his in-system neighbor Mr December 24 is raiding his unprotected moons and planets. Curious about it, I messaged him and he explained he was taking revenge for Mr. Zeus bullying him over the last few days. So this hit is dedicated to Mr December 24, who I've also included in the attack as a token of support.
Of course, Mr Zeus is still living in a fantasy world where turtling helps, and doesn't fleet save, even after already being punished for it (I think it was DEEP who did it before me).
A horrible hit really, almost no profit, with the pain of rebuilding what was lost, but I still enjoyed all the circumstances around it, the ensuing misters battle and the fun of making some turtle soup.
Good luck on the rebuild if you do one defender! I would suggest fleet saving in the future, even if sloppy. Turtling helps, but isn't an invincible armor, as there will always be idiots like me who just want to smash something.
