A Tengu dies at birth

EVESo, finally 20 days of training cruisers 5 came to an end, popped strategic cruisers in for lvl 1, 2 and 3. Had a good think, how to get 500mill of ship out of Jita? How to get there? Pod over? Or buy a disposible frig and slap a mwd in, for that super fast, semi-concentrating AP, with occassional MWD stabs to keep it intersting, trip to jita. But... It's my first T3 ship, never fitted subsystems, have seven waiting in Jita, which to fit? Which mods? Then try them out in Jita? Jita!!? I think not. So I need to get it somewhere I can experiment without drawing every suicide ganker from every toilet bowl in the area. I'll haul it out in my badger II, yes I thought I'd out fox them, shitty little t1 hauler that anyone a few days old can fly, nothing to see here, move along, just hauling my shitty worthless loot about.
So into my lovely little badger I slid, ECM across the board in mids ( I know, I know!) WCS in low, I thought I'd be safe as houses. Some tedious, but growing in excitement as I neared jita, jumps later. I arrived at the monstrous place, noting the swarms of oranges around the gates, and the occassional red. Docked up and quickly grabbed my precious cargo, 1 shining Tengu and 7 subsytems, into the hold, set course for sehmosh, and got the hell out of there. Cleared the first gate, and as I initiated warp to Urlen gate someone started to target me, I warped after about 1 sec, so it was no prob, I didn't get chance to see who it was, overview shimmered as usual in and around jita due to sheer numbers. I noticed a few orange dudes jump through as I jumped on contact. The grid loaded slowly, as soon as possible I initiated warp, the further from jita, the faster, the better. Then, before I could even see who was doing it, I was being targeted, I didn't panic, cos I had time, didn't I? As soon as he locked, id slap on the ECM and be out of there. Sadly, he instapopped me, one volley ready to melt me upon lock, good tip, activate guns before lock! That was it, heading spinning, afloat in my pod! Get the pod and the implants contained in the soft squishy thing inside, out of there! That done, the nausea kicks in, and the depression, I tell my Corp mates who are a mix of sorry and incredulous at my stupidity. I log off.
