ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Qwepir]

"Ground, 1-1. Any effect?" Jaakko asks.

He pulls around and orients himself back towards the zone.

: Uhh, they're still shootin'. I'd say that's a negative.

Faw comms the left flank as he lines up a shot on the two infantry units behind the defender.
"Enemy infantry on the left flank is down, all that's left are the remnants of the PA. I'm going after the infantry behind the Defender."
He takes a moment to aim at the infantry before swooping down and firing all his guns again.

Defender LAMS rolls to intercept incoming missiles:
AGM 1: 90 - failure
AGM 1: 35 - failure
Virvel incapacitates a handful of footsoldiers, and the other two burn three AGMs to make sure the defender is extra dead.

"stuff, I'm going to finish off these tubes and see if I can't hit one of those PD turrets."

Ellie launches six missiles at the SAM tubes. She starts aiming at the rear PPC battery with the cannon.

LAMS turret S3 rolls to intercept missiles (D6):
Roll: 1

LAMS turret S1 rolls to intercept missiles (D6):
Roll: 2
Three missiles survive to hit the tubes, taking out another two.

Tippy goes after one of the underside howitzers with an RGM + AGM.

The LAMS are currently occupied with the MMS barrage, allowing the missiles to take out the target.

Taking damage, the destroyer begins accelerating to distance itself from the prison.
: Alright, it's on the move! Hold your fire until it's farther away!
: Ma'am, those topside guns are still active.
: So? Those are for shooting other airships, not fighters.
: Yes, but they'll still-

And so is Musashi.

: [forget!]

[Ad Bot]

[Gojira]

Yui continues to skirt radar range of the destroyer, debating making a comment about getting blown the forget out by one, but deciding against it, remembering that they're here to help Matsumoto, not for her to reminisce about almost dying.

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko prepares another run.

"I'm lining up for a second go, get ready," he reports.

[Tayasaurus]

"Drop altitude! They can't use those if they can't point them low enough!"

Tippy guns for the next howitzer with her UAC

[NoZoner]

The wail of the RWR and the missile approach tone startles Lorens, breaking his concentration.

"Gah, forget! Defending inbound SAM!"

He immediately dives and drops a chaff packet

[Badger]

Walter fires on the remaining defender

[Operator¹]

Ellie fires her aimed shot at the rear PPC battery and dives down.

[Qwepir]

Jaakko prepares another run.
"I'm lining up for a second go, get ready," he reports.

: You want us to put up a sign for ya this time?

Walter fires on the remaining defender

Roll: 34 - success
Result: Hit
You immobilize the defender with a hit to the engine through the top armor, and the tank destroyers nearby destroy the turret ring and left track.
: Nice shot, they're bailing out! Get us out there, driver, let's forgetin' get 'em!

The Aesthian IFVs break cover and begin advancing to assist the other friendlies in the area, gunning down the defender's crew as they exit their vehicle. One of them tries to finish the tank off with a TOW missile, but despite the defender being immobilized and unmanned, the LAMS still shuts that stuff down in a hurry. The column proceeds without wasting any more ammunition.

Virvel comes around for another hastily-assembled strafing run against the infantry below, while her teammates get set up for another run the proper way.

She's not exactly unsuccessful, but she definitely isn't turning the tide by herself down there.
: Gods, there are so many forgetin' maggots squirming around down there I can't even tell if I'm making a dent in their numbers! Ashes, you wouldn't happen to be carrying any napalm, would you?

You miss the target, and the sole remaining SAM tube fires its payload your way.

The wail of the RWR and the missile approach tone startles Lorens, breaking his concentration.

"Gah, forget! Defending inbound SAM!"

He immediately dives and drops a chaff packet

The Imperial missile goes far over your head as you hit the deck. Glancing up at the destroyer, you see that it's now beginning to bank towards your squadron while dropping in altitude. On the bright side, this will mean the ground guns will be pointing away from the camp, unable to hit the prisoners anymore. However, this also means the guns along the top will have marginally more depression, able to engage the incoming planes for slightly longer.

Ellie fires her aimed shot at the rear PPC battery and dives down.

While not a direct hit, it grazes along the entire top side of the Berkut, melting away armor plating and disrupting the sensitive electronics within the roosterpit. Ellie herself fares much better than her plane, gritting her teeth and enduring the electrical shock with no ill effects other than some numbness and exhaustion.

Raiden follows Tippy's advice and begins descending sharply, but still remain within the guns' traverse for the time being.
: Nagato, get ready to take out that fore gun. Xiaomei, on my command I want you to Artemis those two remaining defensive turrets with your Joint-Strikes.
: Kill the missile-killers with missiles. Got it.
: Quiet. Even if they don't knock them out, I should be able to slip a TAG through to the bridge.

[Badger]

"Crash, I'm moving to bravo."

Walter as said, begins to route his course to Bravo to assist with infantry.

"No napalm on me today, I hope flak will do the trick."

[Tayasaurus]

Tippy pops (2) Chaff and goes on an evasive maneuver adventure.

[Qwepir]

"No napalm on me today, I hope flak will do the trick."

: Hah! I don't think it will, buddy.

[Badger]

: Hah! I don't think it will, buddy.

"Better than nothing, I'm coming over to help."

[Gojira]

Yui checks her surroundings and the radar to make sure there's no hostile air support incoming.

[Operator¹]

"stuff, I'm not doing that again."

Ellie starts pulling out and waits for the comms system to come back online.

[Deoxys And One Noob]

Graf, after aiming, fires the UAC at the Infantry to the right of the Defender.
