ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko has a double take but quickly complies. He pulls left and falls behind the airliner using the airbrake. He fires two bursts a couple hundred meters off of their left wing.

"Pan-Aesthia Flight 6497, your course will take you into protected strategic airspace. We are authorized to shoot down you aircraft if you enter the restricted airspace. Change your course immediately," Jaakko says in a sterner tones.

"Pan-Aesthia [Flight 64-97, change you need to change your course now. Your course will take you over a protected zone. We have are authorized to fire on you if you enter the protected zone,]" he repeats in Mercanan, figuring that it's worth a shot.

"Bell, I've fired the warning shot and repeated the instructions in Mercanan for what it's worth," he reports to the CIC.

The Il-62 maneuvers sharply to evade the incoming gunfire, albeit quite delayed. It maintains its course towards the carrier, and is now around sixty miles out.

[Mr. Hurricane]

"They're- evading the warning shot? No response from them. Would you like me to acknowledge the hijacking over the radio or attempt visual communication again?"

Jaakko pulls up parallel to the aircraft, he begins to get worried that he'll have to shoot it down.

"Hell if you want me to be audacious I could try to shoot the engines out,"

[mattsos]

'Let's try the passive first. Might have to give it a little trick before we down around 200 people."

[Operator¹]

: You don't have time to do that, shoot out the engines.

[mattsos]

: You don't have time to do that, shoot out the engines.

"forget. Alright, here we go."

[Mr. Hurricane]

"Is the VM okay with that?"

Jaakko quietly prays to the Gods and falls in behind the Il-62 at point blank, entering a tail chase and aiming at the right side engine bank.

[Operator¹]

: Is this okay with you, Marshal?

Jaakko quietly prays to the Gods and falls in behind the Il-62 at point blank, entering a tail chase and aiming at the right side engine bank.

: Is this okay with you, Marshal?

: Hold fire. They still have seven miles to go.

Unfortunately, those eight miles are taken in a straight line at the passenger plane's top speed. Within less than thirty seconds, the Il-62 has breached the 50 mile zone. The Vice Marshal shakes his head and sighs.
: Aesthian planes, you are cleared to fire on the intruding aircraft.

Jaakko takes the Shot Theme

"You have entered restricted airspace, permission to fire has been authorized!"

Jaakko damns everything and fires into the right side engine bank. After the shot he pulls upward slightly to avoid debris.

"Guns on their engines,"

The two engines are blasted apart under the hail of gunfire, and the Il-62 struggles to stay in the air.

[Mr. Hurricane]

"Starboard engines are slagged. It's yawing now,"

Jaakko pulls back down and aims at the left side engine bank, then fires into it with a burst from the RAC, before pulling up again to avoid debris.

The engine explosions breach the cabin, and the plane enters a dive.

[Mr. Hurricane]

"Gods damnit, the left side engines seem to have breached the cabin. It's diving!"

Jaakko begins following the aircraft.

"Gods damnit, the left side engines seem to have breached the cabin. It's diving!"

Jaakko begins following the aircraft.

The Il-62's radio activates for the first time so far, and you are met with what sounds like whooshing air, a cabin full of screaming people, and an accent you haven't heard in a long time.

"Good aim, sharp-shot! We are all very impressed! Listen!"

The hijacker stops speaking and allows the sounds of chaos from the cabin to fill the air, seemingly intent on keeping the channel open until impact out of spite.
