We regroup, but knowing we were lacking on numbers and seeing them reform with triple Guardian I pull the fleet back into the Magnetar where we get the DPS bonus we needed. We send out another pew ping and get a Falcon pilot, and we refit our Onerios to double Guardian. We sit there waiting to make a move, and one of our scouts goes afk to order pizza. As he comes back he says the entire fleet is jumping into us and he says run. Knowing it was already too late of a warning if we wanted to run, and we wanted a fight anyway, I keep the fleet on the hole.
I call the Phobos as first primary and force it to drop the bubble so we could get pods out if we start popping, as I fully expected us to in a Magnetar. Shiftn and Guirdarr were gods though, and held on with their two Guardians. When the Phobos's bubble drops I switch primary to one of the Guardians, and hope a sudden switch would mess up the rep cycles and they couldn't land them in time with the amount of DPS we threw out with the Magnetar's effect. The first Guardian holds fine overall, he gets low armor a few times as jams take effect, but overall holds. Then two things happen quickly: our Logistics are finally being overwhelmed and they jump out to save themselves, and I switch primary to a different Guardian. The sudden change in target and some jams allowed us to melt the Guardian in seconds, he didn't even have time to jump. As he dies his fleet jumps out and our Guardians jump back in, so our Logistics are polarized, which is a strong enough motivation to not chase them.
They start forming up again, this time quad Guardians with an Armageddon and their usual mixed DPS. We pull the fleet back and try to decide how to tackle the issue. I toss around the idea of throwing my Archon in there and substituting the Logistics for more jams and DPS, but before we decide Kezei logs in and frees me up to do Guardian while he FCs, which is perfect, now that we have three Guardians we can take the fight. Before we could take it though, they quickly start rolling the hole and push it verge, leaving us to sit there disappointed. Bob was disappointed as well though, and decided it was time a closing Onyx got stuck while rolling. Praise to Bob.

Latter that evening I was playing some Mass Effect and get a ping again, this time for a solo Golem running C5 sites. Simple gank right? Grab a Bhaal, neut the shit out of him, DPS breaks him like a twig. Right? Wrong, its through a frig hole connection, which means bombers are our best bet. I suggest just killing the trigger on the site which was a frigate so he would have 5-6 BS on him and let the sleepers do the work for us, but the idea gets shot down and we decide to wait for the end of the site to try to gank him with our DPS barely breaking 2500.
We don't wait for the end of the site though, as it was said that if the Golem starts moving our scout would go tackle him. Turns out, he starts moving when theres only 1 Frigate left, so Tard gets tackle, we jump in, and go batshit crazy. The frigate dies in the fighting, spawning the next wave of Cruisers and 3 Battleships. We got ridiculously lucky with the aggro, and the Battleships start shooting the Golem and neuting him. The cruisers in the meantime start beating our frigs down, along with the held of the Golem. A few of us pop, in the end though it was too much cap pressure to run his shield booster nearly continuously while being neuted, and he dies. We lost plenty as well though, but still worth it.
Good fights exchanged in local and we pack up and call it a night. Not a bad day.
