ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Gojira]

"Oh, stuff!"
I hop out of my chair, run back to the bunks to get my flight suit on, then run to somewhere I can change in relative privacy. Once I'm changed, I run for the hangars, helmet in hand, and climb into my F-15. I start up my aircraft, all of the screens showing nominal function, and that the proper munitions are attached, and queue up behind Mbombe.

Two by two, the rest of the squadron is launched, and you all form up in front of the carrier.
"Hostile contacts have matched altitude and are approaching from two-o-clock. Keep your eyes peeled."
You look at your radar display and sure enough, four radar contacts are quickly approaching the battlegroup.

[Operator¹]

Bell locks onto one of the drones with a JSM and releases the missile before breaking off from the formation to gain altitude.

[Mr. Hurricane]

"stuff, stuff stuff stuff!" I say.

I roll out of bed and zip out my flight suit. That alarm is loving creepy. I get a bit lost but eventually find our flight deck. The Eurofighter as already loaded.

A marshaller directs me onto the electronic catapult. The aircraft locks in. I'm told to punch the throttle. The catapult hurls me out into the air. I reform with the squadron.

"Hostile contacts..." the air controllers shatter away. I see the bogeys appear on my radar.

[Gojira]

I lock on to one of the drones and fire a JSM, following Bell.

[Juncoph]

I lock and fire a JSM at one of the drones.

[Qwepir]

Bell locks onto one of the drones with a JSM and releases the missile before breaking off from the formation to gain altitude.

The drone makes a rather weak attempt to evade, and fails. One of the other drones opens fire on you with a Heatseeker.

I lock on to one of the drones and fire a JSM, following Bell.

It does a better job dodging than the first one, but not by much. it returns fire with two missiles of its own.

I lock and fire a JSM at one of the drones.

It is then finished off by Junkers.

[Mr. Hurricane]

I lock up the last drone and fire a JSM.


Gojira I'm playing WT rn

[Gojira]

"stuff."
I drop flares and turn away.
add me, i'm perigee

[Operator¹]

Bell dumps flares before pulling back around quickly, shooting another JSM at another drone once she has lined up a shot.

[Juncoph]

I lock and fire two HSMs at another drone.

[Qwepir]

I lock up the last drone and fire a JSM.

While not a direct hit, the JSM does some serious damage to the drone. Possibly screwing up its computer, as it is now making no attempts to course correct.

I lock and fire two HSMs at another drone.

It continues to fly in a straight line, and you successfully rob another kill.

"stuff."
I drop flares and turn away.

You successfully evade.

Bell dumps flares before pulling back around quickly, shooting another JSM at another drone once she has lined up a shot.

Miraculously, the drone manages to evade the missile entirely. It attempts to get on your tail and fires off a missile.

Suddenly, a cruise missile comes streaking out of a cloud formation. It impacts one of the escort air cruisers directly on the bridge, blowing the craft apart and sending it crashing down onto the desert floor. The comms are abuzz with frantic comm chatter attempting to determine what just happened.

"Drones can't carry that sort of armament, what the hell was that!"
"Nearest Imperial territory is hundreds of miles south of us, and that thing came from the north!"
"They must have a fleet ahead of us, we might be running straight into them!"
"Impossible, there's no way they caught up to us."
"Well apparently they did! These are short-range drones. Probably spotters. There's no way they got all the way out here on their own! Get that AWACS operating and see if it can sniff out the trouble."

The damaged AWACS plane that had been keeping with the fleet fires up its electronic systems.
: We're here, sir, but I can't promise you any results. It's a miracle we've even made it this far.

[Gojira]

"Oh. stuff."
I fire a JSM at the last drone.

[Qwepir]

"Oh. stuff."
I fire a JSM at the last drone.

It gets a wing blown off and spirals out of control all the way down to the ground.

Another missile emerges from the clouds and heads for the carrier, but is shot down by the point-defense before it reaches its target.
: We're picking up another flight of drones, coming from the same vector as that missile. Our radar must be malfunctioning, they're showing up way closer than they should be.

Sure enough, a small fleet of drones comes flying out after the missile.

[Operator¹]

I'd like to have the point-defense shoot down the missile coming after Bell but I'll just settle with deploying flares and ducking behind the carrier.
