Gus ejects, yelling something about being sick of the constant stream of advanced Zent aircraft that is lost during the rupture of the roosterpit glass.

Gus drops two packets of flares and switches his aim to Tychon.

"I was not aware tinmen were capable of humor."

Scarabs will be in missile range (of everyone except Crash and Snowman) in two turns.
Drones now in gun range of Tippy and Tempest; Walter and Scorch next turn. Gladiator and Aero in two. Crash and Snowman currently matching speed and accelerating, will remain out of gun range for an indefinite period at this rate.
Hyperions in gun range of Tippy and Tempest in 2 turns, Snowman, everyone else in 3.


The Sky Marshal steps away from the battle display and goes over to the communications officer from earlier.
: Any word from the Mercanans?
: They say they've got a satellite overhead, they're having it scope the area now. They'll send us the images as soon as they have them.

While the Marshal is away, you see dozens of small contacts popping into view very close to the front of the fleet, and the fighter squadron stationed ahead moving to engage.



Gus pops a packet of flares and prepares to engage the Hyperions, centering his gun reticle on Phobos.

"Lining up on Phobos."

Everybody above gets a few more drone kills under their belt. (Those of you keeping track at home, what's wrong with you?)
Your attacks have no effect. Can't say the information wasn't there.

Mjolnir does a fair job thinning out the drone swarm, but when the smoke clears there remain more than enough drones to ruin your day. Missiles and lasers fill the air as the machines fire their opening salvo.

Almost everyone picks up some missiles. Crash picks up 3 HSMs and an AAM; Tippy 3 AAMs; Gus, 2 AAM and 3 HSM; Snowman, 2 of each; and Caesar and Blackeye each with 3 HSMs.

Drones in gun range of Crash, Tippy, Tempest, and Snowman in 2 turns. Walter and Scorch are now in missile range, and Gladiator and Aero will be next turn.
Hyperions are currently at radar range, and will be in missile range next turn.


Gus fires off his last HSM at Culex-3, dropping two flares just to be sure.

"This is going to be painful if Faw doesn't get up here."

The number of missiles carried by the drone wave is staggering.

Gus nods, uttering a thank you. Another doctor and nurse make their way to Ellie's bed, stretcher in tow, and he elects to return later. Making his way back to the hangar, Gus looks for the CSAR squad and VTOL.

Gus makes his way towards Ellie's bed, partially cordoned off by curtains and medical equipment. The severity of the injury is only more apparent with the general mundaneness of the sickbay and its patients. A doctor steps in to administer what Gus assumes is a painkiller; not wanting to intrude for the time being, he approaches the nursing station.

"How is she?"

He gestures towards Ellie.
