It is SOME TIME LATER™. Guerra is up and about. Repairs progress further. Loadouts are finalized. You are all called to a briefing by your commander.
: Two days ago, the GTO launched an attack on the port city of Taiton, the Imperium's beachhead and base of operations in Mercana. Their hold here allows them to ship supplies straight to the Mercanan front by sea, rather than through all those countries south of us. We take Taiton, and they lose their naval supply line, which means any critical materiel they need up here has to pass through miles upon miles of dissident populations. Needless to say, this will be quite a problem for them. Now, the problem for us: The Imperials are well aware as to how important this city is to their war effort, and they've been fortifying the hell out of it ever since they took it over. According to our reconnaisance, the city is almost as fortified as some of the best-defended fortress-cities on the Imperial mainland. All sorts of defensive emplacements and traps are hidden all over the damn place, and to back it up they've got an Aerial fleet protecting it as well, including a carrier and its full complement of fighters.
He points out the way Mjolnir is going to be organized for this mission:
1-1: SHORTSWORD
1-2: GLADIATOR
1-3: LEFTY
1-4: JUNKERS
1-5: SABRE
1-6: WALT
2-1: OXIDE
2-2: HAWKEYE
2-3: TIPPY
2-4: WHISKEY
2-5: MBOMBE
: This brings us to what we need you lot to do. We're going to break you up into two teams, but you'll both be going after the same objective: Obtain air superiority over Taiton. Kill all the other jet-jockeying bastards that aren't flying GTO colors. Once you do that, you report to the forward air base set up nearby and await further instructions. Our ultimate objective is to take down that carrier and its' buddies, but don't get ahead of yourself. You won't be doing that on this sortie, so just focus on the enemy planes. Get suited up and get in the air, the AWACS will give you directions to the fight.
