I had a similar experience last year but I was in a Cobra III. Don't think I posted it here but here is the story:
Went to get some drives from palin and then nipped to obsidian orbital while I'm here. Got that mission that pops for 12m for some Thargoid resin which i remembered seeing at the mini Thargoid crash-site.
Didn't have CCR but thought what the hell, I can just be fast.
Well on my way back got a message from Palin that some dude was after me. Before he could catch me tho, I got hyperdicted by a wing of 3 Thargoids. So there is me with a hold full of Thargoid stuffs and just been emp'd, thought I was a gonner!
Somehow manage to get away only to be interdicted by the mission target in a FAS (im in a Cobra MkIII). Has a nice duel with him he got me down to 30% hull and knocked out my drives. My inertia (thank god I'd just updated the drives) kept me just far enough away so i could reboot/repair. Got 1% of my thrusters back and just about made it to Palin for repair and CCR.
Now I'm about to go do it properly, with CCR.
This has been a fun evening!
