[Operator¹]

Bell and Ellie make half-aimed cannon attacks on both of the Culex drones, with Bell firing both of her cannons on Culex-2.

: Alright, hit that last turret and we can go home.

[NoZoner]

Ash "Splash one Fulcrum! Four, Winchester," Ash reports, "I'm staying in formation and committing." He continues flying towards the hostile group and puts his gun cross on Fulcrum-3.

Lorens "I'm on it! Snowman, in hot!" Lorens brings the Shiva to bear on the last target and extends the dorsal airbrake as he dives for the attack. The CCIP pipper falls over the particle weapon, and Lorens slowly squeezes the trigger, making doubly sure this last shot will count.

Both slugs reach their target and destroy the cannon emplacement. Your primary objective is accomplished, but Gaffe is still down and CSAR is going to have a rough time picking him up with the other weapons systems intact. Skytracer picks up a SAM.

"[No problem.]"

Walter begins aiming on Blackjack-2 as he continues to close range

"Splash one Fulcrum! Four, Winchester," Ash reports, "I'm staying in formation and committing." He continues flying towards the hostile group and puts his gun cross on Fulcrum-3.

[Operator¹]

: Let's pull back, we're not going to be able to handle another wave of those drones and we're lacking on ordinance to tackle all of their defenses.

Bell waits for Snowman to pull away from the defense rig while Ellie tries to shake the SAM with a packet of chaff.

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko continues rushing in to gun range.

"I didn't expect that they would have so much trouble with Fulcrums. The Sky Marshal remarked that they were nearly obsolete,"

[NoZoner]

Ash "I wouldn't completely write the Fulcrum off," Ash responds, "Their turn rates are an even match for the Typhoons. Getting in a guns fight with them could easily turn hairy." "We're coming up on the merge. Let's stick to two-ship attacks."

Lorens "Roger! Snowman, turning North," Lorens swings the Shiva back around and increases power.

[Tayasaurus]

Tippy lines up her sights on Fulcrum 1 and fires her last RGM
