Blockland Aces: The Cartelian War [On Base]

[Gojira]

My plane's external fuel tanks are unloaded and I am given a full AA loadout.
"Takeoff permission granted, good hunting."

[Ad Bot]

[Deoxys And One Noob]

I find a mirror in the form of wreckage of my plane and begin to shine it. The flare is still going, and it's smoke is now visible to all of Etral due to me pretty much packing way too much red smoke in my flare. Even the enemy planes see it... wait. I curse as a bomb drops near me. More troops come, and I get into another firefight, this time my other shoulder hit with a bullet. I hastily patch it up, and dodge another bomb. I realize now the entire Nerverak force in Etral has only one target: me.

[Gojira]

"Estaloo, is your radio operational? If so, I'll see if I can't get some air support headed your way."
I knock down an enemy ace with a sidewinder, the missile striking dead center of the plane and tearing it into multiple pieces. The pilot ejects.
"Get some air support for Estaloo, strafing runs would be preferable. Estaloo, danger close. I repeat, danger close."

Unaware of being heard, with both shoulders hit by bullets, a bullet from a soldier I was fighting went home, hitting in the chest. I patch it up very hastily, and then pass out, holding the flare. With air support, everyone is now trained on the air support except the soldiers, who think I'm dead and just continue on.

[Mr. Hurricane]

"Blackwater to Estaloo. SAR helos ETA 2 minutes,"

"Steele, Tempest, this is Blackwater, provide cover for the SAR helos and Estaloo, they are entering the battle-space, heading 3-2-0, cherubs 5. Estaloo's distress beacon is not active, however, he has popped red smoke over his location, do not allow him to fall in enemy hands,"


"Tempest copies,"

I come in flying high over the choppers, and spot an Ace bearing down on the helicopters. I get a tone from my Sidewinder, and fire. The missile curves to meet him and connects. The helicopter banks hard right to avoid the crumbled wreckage of an F/A-18.

[Gojira]

"Steele copies."
I promptly engage an enemy fighter attempting to knock out an SAR chopper. He breaks off, not firing a missile. I fire a burst of my gun, and hit it right in the roosterpit. I come close enough to see blood, and know that the pilot did not survive. The plane crashes into a skyscraper.

[Mr. Hurricane]

"ETA 1 Minute,"

I notice another jet lining up for the helicopters, it looks unusually angular, and my radar keeps loosing track of it. He is much faster than I am.

"Looks like I get one shot at this,"

I dive on him and press for guns. A stream of tracers shoots out into the sky. They land from the base of his left wing and run down to the back where his engine is. The fire pours from the fuselage. His plane crashes rather lightly in a park area.

"Blackwater, Tempest here, I think I shot down a stealth jet! Do we have a low frequency sweep of this area?"

[Deoxys And One Noob]

I regain my senses for only a little while, grabbing my nearby G36C in my other hand. I see one of the SAR choppers, and my flare runs out. I then black out once again, in a lot of pain.

[Mr. Hurricane]

"Blackwater to Archangle, you are over Estaloo's position, Tempest and Steele will be providing cover for you,"

[NoZoner]

The kick of the afterburner buries me into my seat as my F-16 shoots off into the sky.

"Blackwater, airborne!"
"Swordsman, Blackwater, picture is multiple bo-geys, bearing 2-5-6, 30 mile-s, 10,000."

The billowing mushroom cloud looms ominously over Etral. I tighten my grip on the flight stick in anxiety.

"Swordsman, entering formation! Just what the hell is going on?"

[Comatose]

"Roger, Blackwater."

As I turn my radio's volume down, I watch the ensuing battle against the invading Nerverak force while sitting crosslegged on the ground, sidearm in hand. Deciding to signal the incoming choppers, I drop a green smoke grenade on the chair. The pin clinks as it falls from the arming mechanism, and the smoke rises into the air as last Nerverak ship is bombed, sending billowing clouds of black smoke into the air.

The city grows eerily silent in that moment. All at once, all the sounds of war just vanish, and I can only hear the steady sound of my breathing.

And then there's a flash.

I shield my eyes and turn away from the blast, simultaneously reaching for my radio. I turn the volume up and turn back toward the city, gazing stupidly at the mushroom cloud rising over the city center. The air is suddenly dense with the sound of thousands of alarms, sirens, and screams.

"SAR helos ETA 2 minutes."
I key my radio. "This is Ochoa. I've popped green smoke. Unless you've forgotten. In which case I'll walk back. Or something." A click, and the radio is off.

I sit back down on the ground, crosslegged, in silence.

[Mr. Hurricane]

OCC: Coma, SAR choppers were sent to you first, a second group was sent to Estaloo/Deoxy

[Deoxys And One Noob]

I wake up on the SAR chopper. With my new G36C, I saw my wounds patched up very well by paramedics. A paramedic notices I regained senses and notifies on the radio, bringing relief to the other pilots at the base. Once the heli lands at the base, I am rushed to the medical bay. Etral is ruined and took over by Nerverak. A war has just begun.
[End of Mission 1]
OOC: We are now in On-Base. On-Base is the intermission period between missions where you can RP around in the base. On Base typically lasts around one day in real time. You are now OK to choose whatever plane you want. Simply ask for it and I will update the roster with your new plane.

[Comatose]

Su-34.


Soon after the SAR choppers arrive, Nerverak forces withdraw and Etral emergency services are left to handle the blast at town hall. About an hour later, I arrive back at base and climb out of the chopper. I give a wave to the pilot as he lifts back off, and walk back to the barracks as the hangar once again bustles with activity. As I am about to walk through the hangar doors back to the barracks, the technician from earlier stops me.

"Ochoa, where's the plane? We gotta unload it and refuel!"
"Gone." I attempt to brush him away.
"Whattaya mean 'gone!?'"
"Shot down. Let somebody else deal with it."

I walk away as he stops, cursing under his breath before walking back into the hangar. A few minutes later, I'm in the barracks reading my flight manual once more.
