ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Qwepir]

Jaakko takes a shot at an Imperial on the left side of the hallway with a short controlled burst, this time aiming. He is unfazed by the shot that nearly hit him, as the combination of hearing loss and indiscriminate cracking and snapping of bullets make it hard for him to deduce where shots are landing near him.

The return fire doesn't come close to hitting anyone this time.

The smoke has now cleared enough that it isn't providing any significant concealment. Should you decide to take a peek, you will be able to see just who is down the hall.

[Ad Bot]

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko checks the left side of the hall, as much as he can see without exposing himself. He checks it through the sight of the gun.

"See anything your side?" he asks the marine.

[Tayasaurus]

Ellie gets on the radio. "Major, this might work out if you send me with Djuriskas to keep the Typhoons occupied while you guys take out the strike planes with Raiden."

"Good plan. We can roll with that."

"Tippy I don't know what your plan is but I'm personally planning on hitting the tornadoes."

"That is fine. We'll give them hell. Ellie will be with Djuriska engaging the Typhoons."

Ellie gets on the radio. "Major, this might work out if you send me with Djuriskas to keep the Typhoons occupied while you guys take out the strike planes with Raiden."

Walt continues on for the time being, training his sights closer to the tornadoes
"Tippy I don't know what your plan is but I'm personally planning on hitting the tornadoes."

"That is fine. We'll give them hell. Ellie will be with Djuriska engaging the Typhoons."

With the plan in place, Yamashiro fires on the incoming Tornadoes with a pair of RGMs each.

By the time you are in missile range of the enemy planes, two of the Tornadoes have been taken out.
You are now in missile range because the enemy had no RGMs and I didn't want there to be three turns of nothing happening.

Jaakko checks the left side of the hall, as much as he can see without exposing himself. He checks it through the sight of the gun.

You see the legs of the guy you shot poking out from behind cover as well as the other crewman's corpse laying against a pillar. There's no sight of the third voice, probably because they're hunkered down behind cover after seeing two of their teammates get shot. Entering the room are three actual soldiers, two of them toting combat rifles and the third putting the finishing touches on setting up a light machine gun on a spot of deployable cover.

"See anything your side?" he asks the marine.

: MG! Take it down!

The Marine leans out of cover to shoot at the trooper with the light machine gun, hoping to kill him before he can open fire.

"Excellent work Yamashiro. Firing missiles on Tornado-5."

Walt fires four HSM at tornado-5 and fires his PPC at tornado-4

[Mr. Hurricane]

"Oh forget!" Jaakko cries, "Need some loving help! MG in the hall!"

Jaakko presses up against the wall and holds his position, staying in cover.

"Oh forget!" Jaakko cries, "Need some loving help!"

Jaakko presses up against the wall and holds his position, staying in cover.

The machine gunner declares overwatch, and you hear the other two troopers run down the hall and take up position on the either side of the entrance to your room. One of the Marines watching the bridge crew starts moving over to help, and is now about halfway to the door.

[Badger]

Walt returns four HSM to typhoon-1 and uses four five.flares, neglecting evading to intercept the AGM's with his LAMS launched by the tornado

"Four AGM launched by the Tornado, coming in on the Pertinax! someone cover typhoon-2, I don't want him getting a clean shot!"

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko aims and lays into the Imperial soldier directly across from him. His body fills the sight. He remains pressed against the wall, not exposing himself to the MG.

"[You damn vulture.]"

Ellie fires four seekers at the second Typhoon and starts a pursuit attempt.

Tippy and Roger missile spam typhoon3 with 2 more HSM each.

[NoZoner]

The red peaks of the Rostig roll by, eventually giving way to the distinct ridges of the Bergfalk Overthrust, whose stony spines border the Aesthian Lowlands and mark the point of collision between the two continents.

Lorens looks off the port side of his aircraft and runs his vision across the fault structure, tracing it to the horizon. The massive Wyvern and two smaller Sullas dominate his view of the sky. Several minutes have passed since he and the rest of Raiden left the battlespace, and since then the communications channel has been nearly dead quiet, save for the AWACS calling the splashes.

"S'some really nice country we're passing over," Lorens blurts out, trying to take his mind off the mission, "I'd really like to take a glider out here and run it from one end to the other, once the war's over."
