Sore tooth

After a long day of hauling my butt, I went to a station to get a bum tooth fixed, after I was done my head was still throbbing from the tooth.I decided to make one last low paying run to Tereshkova Dock in ALTAIR in my Cobra III ‘Pte Wanji’.
The run was clean no NPC trying to pull me down, I flew into the Tereshkova Dock ready to offload my goods and call it a night. Flying tired is never a great idea; I was not alert, I saw an Anaconda parked about 1 km from the dock and ignored it yes stupid I know. I got clearance from the dock gear down and nearly on the pad and bam I was taking fire from the Anaconda, I was slow to react and my shields where about gone. The Cobra and I did what we do best in a situation like this, gear up, full throttle, 4 pips to power, 2 pips to system boost way from the dock. The Anaconda was sill hitting me, shields down, taking hull damage, there was no way I was going to be able to run straight away fast enough for him not to kill me. So I did a rolling half loop still boosting I was moving fast now and he was missing more than hitting me, my hull was at 50% and I was heading at him, boost again. He hit me solidly a few more times I was at 14% hull as I shot past him boosting again.
No way was he going to get that tub turned 180 deg to his guns on me before I was long gone and FSD away. And so I was gone running to another port for repairs and to get rid of my load of “onions”. As I did I checked the Galaxy may and as I thought my nasty Vulture was only 62ly’s away…. Off to pick “Talutah Pte” my Vulture, on the way back to ALTAIR I thought I really messed this up I didn’t get the Anaconda CMDR’s name, maybe he will still be there when I get back, oh I hope so this would not be the first Anaconda “Talutah Pte” and I have taken down.
I would like to say I found the griefer and kicked his ass bloody, but when I got back a ship had just high waked out, and no one else was there. The one thing I regret is not getting this CMDR’s name for fun and games some other time…….
