There's an Ishkur in the abandoned mining colony in Mannar. I am in my Wolf so warp straight on in hoping to land at zero, sadly he is 50k off as I drop out of warp. He has one rat left to kill so I give chase ... he then pulls his drones and they race by my side as I close in fast (but not quite fast enough), just missing scram as he warps off into the distance leaving his drones behind in the process. I scoop his drones and wait.
About two minutes later he lands at roughly 100k away from me, takes a look around then warps off again.

He has gone back into high-sec. I follow him and warp around the system for a bit so that he knows I am in there. It is just him, two of his corpies and me in local. They all then disappear from local so I head back to Mannar hoping to grab them.
They are there. In local at least, but I have no idea what they are now flying or indeed where they are.
Nothing is showing on scan near the abandoned mining colony so I warp straight to a random ice belt and land on his corpy in a Procurer at zero. Aha! Lucky! The Ishkur is 30k off of me, no sign of the other guy and I am slightly nervous half expecting a Rapier or Hayabusa to uncloak. I point the Procurer and I'm then returned the favour with a scram from the barge. The Ishkur closes in but then begins to kite me at a safe distance. I can't get anywhere near him, nearly burning out my afterburner as I burn out of range and warp to the station for repairs. I am in structure after fending off a swarm of drones and taking substantial railgun fire.
The other guy in their corp is actually docked up so he is not one to worry about for now.
I undock and warp back to the belt hoping to land closer to the Ishkur. To my surprise they are both now at a pounce 260+k away. The Procurer is happily mining away.

Never delete your old bookmarks.
I have two bookmarks in this belt labelled conveniently as 'PROC MININGSPOT1' and 'PROC MININGSPOT2'. What were the chances of that? I remember slaying a couple of mining barges in here a while back in my Loki after bookmarking some wrecks. This particular slab of ice must be a popular spot. Anyway ....
I hit warp to the first bookmark and land .... 20k off the Procurer and 50k off the Ishkur. What are the odds?
I don't fancy all those drones again so decide to make it look like I am running away. I manage to split the Ishkur from the barge and begin to try and get the scram on him but he isn't getting close enough. I kill a few of his drones and align out again, bait tanking the remaining drones and dipping into deep armour. Whilst all of this is happening the Procurer is very-slowboating towards us but he is of no concern now.
The Ishkur gives chase and I slam on the brakes and stop dead.
The Ishkur pilot doesn't even notice my little stunt and he slams into range and I apply the scram. The Procurer has now sent his drones my way but seeing his buddy die he warps off to the station.
Job done.

Ishkur Pilot > not really, I moved in close in case you pussied out again
Ishkur Pilot > nice probes too
Yeah this Wolf has a combat prober fitted I'm sure, and nobody else neutral is in system. I bite my tongue.
Corpy 3 > What in the hell is going on in here I demand to know right NOW? <<<< this is the guy who was docked for all of the fight.
Ishkur Pilot > cehck corp
Ishkur Pilot > just soem pussie who can't take a fair fight

They leave local.
