"Turtle, I've got the one on your six. I've been hit and I'm rapidly losing fuel. Lead, requesting permission to head to the nearest friendly base. I don't have enough fuel to continue fighting."
"Thanks." I say before I do some high-g maneuvers in order to lose the J-20 on my tail, all the while trying to get Steele a good target or just try to fire on the bandit myself.
The J-20 sticks on Daxton's backside like a used condom until Major Coaxoch swoops in to steal the kill.
1-1: "You are leaving already, Steele? But you're missing all the fun! Oh well, I've granted you clearance to leave the battlefield. Good luck making it home safely, we'll see you there! Guess we'll have to pick up the slack, eh Dax?"
Steele makes it to a Huitzitlaotani-captured airfield, where he is able to have the proper repairs made to his plane. However, due to his rank, he is held there until a handler can claim ownership of him.
(tl;dr, you're at an allied airbase and cant go to your home base yet)
