ABS FIESTA REDUX

[CypherX]

"AWACS can give you my GPS coordinates. They're southwest of me, near a car dealership. Can't miss it. Gonna keep my head down now until we get to the rally point."

Gus's voice is barely above a whisper. He switches off comms input and focuses on moving as quickly and carefully as possible.

[Ad Bot]

[Gojira]

Yui tries to turn on her comms.
"Don't forget up."

[Mr. Hurricane]

"On you AWACS,"

[NoZoner]

The A-10C emerges from the underbelly of the destroyer at the far side. Stripped of its propulsion, the Prosecutor slowly falls to the suburban sprawl far below. Lorens watches the ship from his canopy. The sight doesn't seem to affect him as much as he recalled when he aided in felling the other two Imperial sky ships.

"AWACS, Snowman, do we have an ETA for CSAR?"

[Qwepir]

"On you AWACS,"

Their coordinates are uploaded to Mjolnir's HUD.
: Raiden, how are things looking?
: All quiet out here.
: Right. Mjolnir, unless you need our help, we're going to return to base.

"I hear Izzy behind us, best keep quiet."
Gus picks up the pace and towards the waypoint. Flicking on the comms shortly, he switches to open squad channel.
"This is Tempest. I have Hawkeye, but she's hurt bad. There's an enemy patrol just behind us, Gods know what else around, we would really appreciate some air support."

"AWACS, Snowman, do we have an ETA for CSAR?"

: CSAR chopper is taking off now, 8 minutes out.

[Badger]

: Right. Mjolnir, unless you need our help, we're going to return to base.

"I think you're clear to go, see you back at base."

Walter flies to the coordinates and uses his FLIR package to see if he can spot Gus and Yui

[NoZoner]

"Snowman, requesting station time extension for CAS and extraction overwatch, remaining loiter time is twenty five minutes,"

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko flies over Gus' coordinate heading southwest and fires into the dealership parking lot. He fires the afterburners and pulls away as if to make the run more intimidating.

[Gojira]

Yui tries not to make noise, and also tries to look around to see what's near her.
"Ark, this hu- owwww..." she groans inaudibly.

[CypherX]

Gus continues jogging along the route.

[Qwepir]

"I think you're clear to go, see you back at base."
Walter flies to the coordinates and uses his FLIR package to see if he can spot Gus and Yui

: Last I checked, Crash was the leader of your unit. Not you.

"Snowman, requesting station time extension for CAS and extraction overwatch, remaining loiter time is twenty five minutes,"

: Request approved.

Jaakko flies over Gus' coordinate heading southwest and fires into the dealership parking lot. He fires the afterburners and pulls away as if to make the run more intimidating.

: [Aesthian precision, lads. Let's get to cover before they get lucky.]

The recon team spreads out and heads for anything that could provide protection from a strafing run, leaving their vehicles parked in the street.

[Badger]

: Last I checked, Crash was the leader of your unit. Not you.

"Apologies, I keep forgetting."

[Mr. Hurricane]

"Gah, stuff! They have their own cars down there. Snowman, you're better equipped for this. Walter, cut the digs, Kommadant, could you leave us with Pansar and Eremit? We only have two good aircraft for air to air right now. They can rearm if they need to- I just don't want to get jumped with only two fighters, a gunship thing, and a warthog,"

[Badger]

Walter sneers

"That's no fun, Crash."

Walter guns down the vehicles in the street with his cannons and passes by to turn around

"Don't worry, I'm sure another radar guided missile will come and clober me soon."

[CypherX]

The sound of jets overhead grows louder as Gus sees a familiar Sabre thunders by and spray down the area behind them. He smiles and keeps moving to the waypoint.
