I come running back inside to alert command and the ground crews. "Enemy fighters in our airspace, someone get SAM coverage immediately! I need crewmen to help me load up a fighter, let's go!"
After getting the EF2000 supplied, I race through the checklist and get clearance from the tower to take off. Putting my engines on reheat, I fly in the direction of Dust and Peregrine, and spot the bandits.
"Saber 1, tally three! Engaging offensive in angels 10!" I lock up a fighter with my IRST and fire off a sidewinder. "Fox 2 medium!"
