: Deploy flares and disengage, I think we've done enough here.
Bell deploys flares and turns to disengage.
: Alright squad, it's time we weren't here. Frisk, give 'em a parting gift.
: You got it!
Frisk angles towards the new contacts and launches four heatseekers at separate targets in the formation to cover your escape.
Gaffe turns around and starts to disengage, popping flares and chaff to deflect missile fire.
Lorens hears Bell's order as soon as the Shiva's RWR picks up the interdiction radar pings of several fast-movers.
"Nails confirmed 12 o'clock, Snowman egressing,"
Clearly no match for the newly-arrived threat, Lorens swings the Shiva back around and tosses out a set of flares to deter potential missile fire.
The Imperial planes are currently dodging Frisk's salvo of heatseekers, but they don't seem keen on letting you go. Two of them are plainly picking their targets.
ThemeMarkus instead switches targets to Sleipnir-2, taking a half-turn to aim and the other to fire.

: Oh I'm far from an Imperial buddy, did you think the other ace traitor just vanished and isn't here? Also if you happen to ask me, she's mine.

"Missed! forget!"
Ash keeps his eyes on where he last saw the Fenrir and tries to think of his options. He decides that attempting to outmaneuver a cloaked plane is likely futile and instead opts to fire on another target. Ash rolls out of the turn to face Slepnir-8 and locks on.
"Walt, I'm going after one of the guys on you, watch for missiles," Ash pushes the button and sends another three AAMs to the target, "Fox-2 ripple!"

The carrier opens up with every gun that can face forward as the armored shutters begin closing at a glacial pace. A dozen LAMS emplacements and four particle cannons fire blindly at the approaching Aesthian planes, striking Sleipnir 3 and 4, blasting Sleipnir 7 into a ball of flaming debris, and stripping Virvel's armor.
Sleipnir 3 enters the central deck, Virvel in pursuit and Sleipnir 4 hot on her tail. This is Walt's last chance to have second thoughts.
