ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Operator¹]

Ellie pulls back to radar range.

[Ad Bot]

[NoZoner]

The A-10 turns around. Lorens brings the gun cross back onto the aft section of the destroyer. The CCIP reticle appears on the broad side of the craft and is eventually dragged over to the engineering section.

"... Snowman, guns on the destroyer." Lorens' heartbeat quickens. He gulps and slowly pulls the trigger.

[Tayasaurus]

Tippy goes for one of the 57mm cannons next with another aimed UAC shot

[ZombiLoin]

Faw swoops down on his pre-arranged strafing run on the Defender, firing all his cannons at the heavy tank.

[Mr. Hurricane]

"I'm moving on, best of luck," Jaakko says.

He moves to the Alpha site.

"I'm moving on, best of luck," Jaakko says.

He moves to the Alpha site.

: No problem, we can take it from here!

Djuriskas enters the HQ sector and immediately comes under fire from SAMs.

"Firing another Thunderbolt."
Yui fires yet another Thud at the starboard stern side of the Excubitor.

All of the submunitions are destroyed by the LAMS, but it takes it long enough that the missile gets through. The destroyer can no longer maintain lift, and begins dropping quite rapidly.

Ellie pulls back to radar range.

With no weapons left, no attempt is made to stop you from leaving.

The A-10 turns around. Lorens brings the gun cross back onto the aft section of the destroyer. The CCIP reticle appears on the broad side of the craft and is eventually dragged over to the engineering section.

: A top of the line, gravity defying weapons platform brought to its knees by a plane half a century old. Who could have predicted that?
: Aw, I almost feel bad for them.

[Gojira]

Yui remains silent, not wanting to embarass herself or her flight, but is unable to stop a prideful smile from spreading across her face from Xiaomei's and Nagato's comments. She watches the Excubitor crash to the ground, then watches for any other incoming threats on radar.

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko switches his targets, moving from site Alpha to the HQ section. He cloaks.

[Deoxys And One Noob]

Graf fires 5 F12 rockets at the infantry at Alpha, careful not to hit friendly forces.

[Tayasaurus]

Tippy radio's back to the soldier down on the ground.

"Ok done. One Destroyer down. the POW camp is all yours guys."

[NoZoner]

Lorens jerks the last stage of the trigger, inadvertently pulling back on the stick and placing the reticle pipper where the moving target index previously was. The sabot round explodes out of the barrel, at first appearing to travel to the engine of the doomed airship, but ultimately misses as the destroyer falls just below the bullet's trajectory.

The A-10 banks and turns parallel to the Excubitor. Lorens turns control over to the autopilot, leans forward and looks at his hands, trying to register what happened. He eventually lets his hands drop and takes a deep breath before sitting upright and taking back the throttle and stick.

"Snowman, returning to formation." Lorens turns the A-10 back around to Tippy's aircraft, watching the destroyer fall to earth along the way.

He doesn't accomplish much.

Yui remains silent, but is unable to stop a prideful smile from spreading across her face from Xiaomei's and Nagato's comments. She watches the Excubitor crash to the ground, then watches for any other incoming threats on radar.

There are no incoming hostiles in sight.

Tippy radio's back to the soldier down on the ground.

"Ok done. One Destroyer down. the POW camp is all yours guys."

: Not yet it's not. You mind taking out some of those guard towers for us? There's six of 'em, and they're all packing machine guns and- Gods know what else, some kind of gun that shoots through walls. We're holed up inside until those are taken care of, and even here it's not safe.

Having used said gun before, Tippy is probably aware of just how much danger the prisoners are in.

[Tayasaurus]

"Roger that. Everyone after those guard towers!"

Tippy angles herself to one of the nearest towers, firing her UAC.
