Faw leans back on the couch and sighs.

"50 dollars that Ellie downs him in the first minute without a scratch on her plane. Any takers?"

[Ad Bot]

[Gojira]

Markus sighs, and wonders why he agreed to this. He fires all four of his RGMs at Ellie's Wyvern, keeping her in his radar cone as best as he can.

[NoZoner]

Ash scratches his shoulder and takes a seat at the opposite end of the couch wearing a bored expression.

"I'd put my money on Scorch if he had actually kitted his Corsair properly," he replies, "He has the initiative. It would've been a clear advantage if he took more radar missiles like he should've."

Ash drapes both his arms over the couch's backrest, leans his head back and sighs.

"Ah, dammit. I really wanted to watch the Cavaliers play the Tigers today," he rights his head and looks at Simon, "You watch any Mercanan football?"

Faw leans back on the couch and sighs.

"50 dollars that Ellie downs him in the first minute without a scratch on her plane. Any takers?"

: I don't think anyone's gonna bet against the Wyvern.

Seeing the fight unfold differently from what he predicted, Ash slowly leans forward, pulls his arms together and interweaves his fingers. His expression tightens as he studies the telemetry overlaying the HUD feed.
