TLDR: We shoot at a POS, we extort a ship from some w-space pioneers. Threats were made, laughs were had... Welcome to Wspace :)
So back story; I was scanning out our chain and saw there was a Mobile Tractor Unit on scan. I asked Lotor to combat probe it down and we both blew it up.

Shortly after we blew up that random MTU, the owner of the MTU tries to open a convo with me. At the same time he tries to open a convo with Lotor our CEO. I figured I would let Lotor sort it out.
2015.01.01 20:43:37 ] Lotor > greeetings friend
[ 2015.01.01 20:43:56 ] Timoxa Zero > why did you spok my mtu

[ 2015.01.01 20:44:28 ] Lotor > not sure I have ever spok anything
Right at this moment I told Lotor there was a lone pod with the name "Timoxa Zero" on Dscan. We assumed the guy was trapped in the hole. Maybe we could sell him an exit.
[ 2015.01.01 20:44:36 ] Lotor > are you trapped !!!
[ 2015.01.01 20:44:45 ] Timoxa Zero > no

Not exactly true, in fact we just rolled into there from one of the holes in our chain. But they didn't need to know that :)

[ 2015.01.01 20:51:10 ] Timoxa Zero > EOL is last 4 hours of life iirc, correct?
We saw them shipping into drakes and we thought they might fight. Which is good for us, because we love to fight!
[ 2015.01.01 20:51:20 ] Lotor > so yall ready for some pew ? now that we are wormhole buddies?
[ 2015.01.01 20:51:31 ] tikor Aivoras > oh god no...

[ 2015.01.01 20:52:03 ] tikor Aivoras > maybe we can be... FRIENDLY?
[ 2015.01.01 20:52:17 ] tikor Aivoras > like... hunt ppl TOGETHER?
[ 2015.01.01 20:52:24 ] tikor Aivoras > and not shoot each other

[ 2015.01.01 20:52:30 ] Timoxa Zero > im confused
[ 2015.01.01 20:53:25 ] Lotor > i might have a dread logged off
Not exactly true... but plausible.. we "Might" have a dread in there..
[ 2015.01.01 20:55:28 ] Lotor > how much you pay for my hole?
[ 2015.01.01 20:56:32 ] Timoxa Zero > you really gonna be like this?
[ 2015.01.01 20:56:33 ] tikor Aivoras > we paid a ton of isk
[ 2015.01.01 20:56:40 ] tikor Aivoras > come on... we can be friends
[ 2015.01.01 20:57:07 ] Lotor > how did you pay ?
[ 2015.01.01 20:57:31 ] tikor Aivoras > Lotor someone was selling this "empty" wormhole

[ 2015.01.01 20:58:41 ] tikor Aivoras > we have powerful friends moving in...
The old "powerful friends" ploy. We had a really good laugh at that. Most powerful friends aren't willing to come defend your POS from 3 dudes in stealth bombers.
[ 2015.01.01 20:58:52 ] Lotor > o snap
[ 2015.01.01 20:58:56 ] Lotor > but its my wormhole
[ 2015.01.01 20:59:12 ] tikor Aivoras > you did not set up a pos
[ 2015.01.01 20:59:17 ] tikor Aivoras > you merely brought in a ship
[ 2015.01.01 20:59:19 ] Timoxa Zero > technically
[ 2015.01.01 20:59:20 ] tikor Aivoras > and said it is yours
[ 2015.01.01 20:59:23 ] Timoxa Zero > its nobodys
[ 2015.01.01 20:59:26 ] Timoxa Zero > because you cant claim sov
[ 2015.01.01 20:59:28 ] tikor Aivoras > yes... that
[ 2015.01.01 20:59:39 ] Lotor > so who are your "powerful" friends
[ 2015.01.01 20:59:42 ] Lotor > i might know them
[ 2015.01.01 21:00:06 ] tikor Aivoras > ... and why are we telling you this?
[ 2015.01.01 21:00:30 ] Lotor > cause its the normal im scared reply
[ 2015.01.01 21:00:34 ] Lotor > "i have friends"
[ 2015.01.01 21:00:44 ] tikor Aivoras > lol
Some guy from Goonswarm enters the channel.. Guess that was the Bigger friends we should have been worried about.
We got into bombers and started shooting at their badly defended POS. It had 6 medium autocannons and no points, so why not? We might get them to fight, better yet, they may call in some friends and get us a fight too. A fight was what we really wanted. Shooting a poorly defended POS is just a great way of saying hello :)

One of our bombers somehow managed to get shot by the POS... DOH! O well.
[ 2015.01.01 21:08:05 ] Lotor > its i have more
[ 2015.01.01 21:08:07 ] Timoxa Zero > i feel like
[ 2015.01.01 21:08:11 ] Timoxa Zero > even if we pay you

[ 2015.01.01 21:10:06 ] Lotor > its ok ill just bubble your pos
[ 2015.01.01 21:10:15 ] Timoxa Zero > thats not even related to what i said
[ 2015.01.01 21:10:54 ] tikor Aivoras > Lotor that sounds like an awful idea... you will bubble your own ships and stop them from escaping
[ 2015.01.01 21:11:11 ] Lotor > I've got orcales coming
[ 2015.01.01 21:12:07 ] tikor Aivoras > Lotor look, if you stop shooting us, we will pay you. But first you have to stop shooting us
I would like to point out, it wasn't our idea to ransom, it just kind of worked out that way. :)
[ 2015.01.01 21:12:19 ] Lotor > kk
[ 2015.01.01 21:12:20 ] Timoxa Zero > no, he'll just keep on shooting
[ 2015.01.01 21:12:27 ] Timoxa Zero > this is classic scam talk
[ 2015.01.01 21:12:31 ] Timoxa Zero > happens all the time
[ 2015.01.01 21:12:38 ] Timoxa Zero > you threaten to evict us, show your hand etcetc
[ 2015.01.01 21:12:39 ] Timoxa Zero > we pay you
[ 2015.01.01 21:12:42 ] Timoxa Zero > you still evict us
[ 2015.01.01 21:12:44 ] Timoxa Zero > the end
[ 2015.01.01 21:12:48 ] Lotor > wow
[ 2015.01.01 21:13:20 ] Lotor > kk
[ 2015.01.01 21:13:29 ] Timoxa Zero > is that not your plan
[ 2015.01.01 21:13:31 ] Timoxa Zero > i feel like it is
[ 2015.01.01 21:13:38 ] Lotor > na
[ 2015.01.01 21:13:48 ] Lotor > its will be more fun to just harrass yo for days
So I made the suggestion to Lotor to have them give us one of the drakes for us to go away. We knew they had a drake and if we asked for money... they might just say.. "we don't have any". I mean we did lose a bomber up till this point.
[ 2015.01.01 21:14:15 ] Lotor > let us have that drake and we will leave
[ 2015.01.01 21:14:22 ] Lotor > ill take my ocra out
[ 2015.01.01 21:14:47 ] Lotor > drake seems fair
[ 2015.01.01 21:14:55 ] Timoxa Zero > does it?
[ 2015.01.01 21:14:58 ] Lotor > yeah
[ 2015.01.01 21:15:04 ] Timoxa Zero > why only a drake?
[ 2015.01.01 21:15:30 ] Lotor > you want me to want more?
[ 2015.01.01 21:15:37 ] Timoxa Zero > i dont
[ 2015.01.01 21:15:40 ] Timoxa Zero > im just confused why you want so little.
[ 2015.01.01 21:15:49 ] Lotor > well you said you were new to w space
[ 2015.01.01 21:15:55 ] Lotor > and just bought this worm hole
[ 2015.01.01 21:16:01 ] Lotor > figured you were on the broke side
[ 2015.01.01 21:16:05 ] Lotor > and im reasonable
[ 2015.01.01 21:17:09 ] Lotor > sound good ?
[ 2015.01.01 21:17:27 ] Timoxa Zero > hmm
[ 2015.01.01 21:17:32 ] Timoxa Zero > how would i give you this drkae
[ 2015.01.01 21:17:42 ] Lotor > just warp it to planet one
[ 2015.01.01 21:17:54 ] Timoxa Zero > thats some pretty obvious bait
[ 2015.01.01 21:17:58 ] Timoxa Zero > hows about
[ 2015.01.01 21:18:04 ] Timoxa Zero > i leave outside the pos bubble
[ 2015.01.01 21:18:10 ] Lotor > some times you have to trust bro
[ 2015.01.01 21:18:36 ] Timoxa Zero > and you dont trust me to leave my drake outside the pos bubble
[ 2015.01.01 21:19:20 ] Lotor > just planet 1 boss, I Swear your pod will be ok
[ 2015.01.01 21:20:10 ] Lotor > I can bring all kinda of people in here say im good for my word but wont do any good
[ 2015.01.01 21:20:58 ] Lotor > ok if you want to put it out side the shield its fine
[ 2015.01.01 21:22:35 ] Lotor > aight man bubbles it is
[ 2015.01.01 21:22:54 ] Timoxa Zero > i never said no.
It looked to us like he was stalling so we added some pressure to the conversation.
[ 2015.01.01 21:24:54 ] Lotor > 2 drakes?
[ 2015.01.01 21:25:59 ] Lotor > last chance before we step up
[ 2015.01.01 21:26:26 ] Timoxa Zero > and what exactly does stepping up signify
[ 2015.01.01 21:31:03 ] Timoxa Zero > alright alright
At this point we lost another bomber and said fuck it.. we needed something bigger, we shipped up to 2 ishtars and a scythe. It worked even though the POS was starting to wreck us again, but the show of force was what was important, if we were going to get our drake ransom.
[ 2015.01.01 21:31:07 ] Lotor > ?
[ 2015.01.01 21:31:22 ] Lotor > drake planet one?
[ 2015.01.01 21:32:02 ] Timoxa Zero > in a minute
[ 2015.01.01 21:32:06 ] Lotor > now ?
[ 2015.01.01 21:32:51 ] Timoxa Zero > yea just give me a minute fuck
[ 2015.01.01 21:33:23 ] Timoxa Zero > can i leave it outside the bubble?
[ 2015.01.01 21:33:33 ] Lotor > yeah
[ 2015.01.01 21:34:11 ] Lotor > just eject it and change the password it will kick it
[ 2015.01.01 21:35:20 ] Timoxa Zero > it didnt eject
[ 2015.01.01 21:35:23 ] Timoxa Zero > how am i supposed to do it
[ 2015.01.01 21:35:25 ] Lotor > o werid
[ 2015.01.01 21:35:32 ] Lotor > just boat it over
[ 2015.01.01 21:35:39 ] Lotor > yall must have the pos set up for corp use
[ 2015.01.01 21:35:42 ] Lotor > rather than password
[ 2015.01.01 21:35:49 ] Timoxa Zero > yup
[ 2015.01.01 21:36:54 ] Timoxa Zero > you're watching i presume?
[ 2015.01.01 21:36:58 ] Lotor > ya
Drake delivered.. Ransom Paid. We said our goodbyes.
[ 2015.01.01 21:40:44 ] Lotor > thank you sir
[ 2015.01.01 21:41:19 ] Lotor > fly safe
Conclusion:
So we didn't get a fight out of them, but we did get a ransom drake, so thats better than nothing. It did cost us 2 stealth bombers, but it was a fun way to spend some time.
Special thank you to all who participated and please enjoy your time in W-space.
