"I'll toss another one at it after I save Steele, ma'am." I say in a rush as I pull away from the airship and fire a round of cannon fire at the helicopter that is chasing Steele, weakening the green-encasing shield, then firing the MMS6 at it. Hopefully this gives enough time for Steele to fire another Block at the airship so the Major is pleased.
Shooting it does nothing to weaken the repulsor field, though it collapses shortly after of its own accord, and just in time for the final two MRMs to reach it. It breaks off its attack on Steele and begins attempting to shake you off.
"I hate these helicopters."
I deploy flares, turn sharply away, and get another shot with a Block-III off on the airship, being careful to a) not present my roosterpit and b) avoid the turret.
You have one flare and one Block-III remaining.
The point-defense turret fires on you as you get near, ignoring the incoming missile. It doesn't even scratch your paint and the missile hits its mark. Two more should do the trick.
Major Coaxoch sounds pleased with herself for downing another chopper.
Coaxoch: "Oh man, in competent hands these things might even be dangerous!"
Incoyotl: "
[I am seeing a few enemy interceptors vectoring on my position. Please assist.]"
Coaxoch: "
[I've got your back, sir!] Dax, Steele! I'm going to go help the commander, you two can look after yourselves, right?"
She flies off to intercept the new contacts, dragging away the other chopper she was previously engaging. Only the one being chased by Daxton stands between you and your objective now.
