ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Gojira]

Markus curses his stupidity, steels his nerves, and steadies the damaged Typhoon. He locks on to Fang and fires two AAMs to get him off his back.

[Ad Bot]

[Mr. Hurricane]

"Transports have made contact with the cruiser-"

Jaakko drops two strings of chaff and evades. He fires two off-bore AAM's on Bell in retaliation.

[Badger]

: Is that all, Frisk? There's no shame in admitting and running along like the rest of us, we're all in the same boat here.


Walter fires two seekers and a vortex missile at fang then evades away past Virvel while dropping two flares.

: I'll drop off any countermeasures you need now, Virvel.

[ZombiLoin]

Gaffe's mind starts racing as he struggles to comprehend the rapidly changing tactical situation. Kommandant and Koneda-1 were axed, and the integrity of (what was left of) Djuriskas' esprit de corps was in question. He notices the Panzertransports setting down on the carrier and the bottom of his stomach hollows out. He opens up comms to the loyalist forces on the Brynhildr.

"This is Gaffe of Mjolnir flight. Three Panzertransports have touched down on the bomber and are breaching the hull, presumably bringing assault troops."

Gaffe sighs,

"Sorry, guys. If you can, permenantly disable the self-defense systems on the ship so we can neutralize it."

Gaffe tries to recompense himself. He pop 2 flares and does evasive maneuvers to dodge the TAG, and then takes aim at Virvel and fires his autocannon and his pulses. He prays to the gods that his shots connect.

[Operator¹]

Ellie flinches from the PPC blast hitting the plate generated by the fabricator and looks down to see multiple locks onto her Wyvern.

"Oh yeah, I've pissed them off-"

She dumps three sets of flares and uses her turbocharger to get as far out as she can before starting evasive maneuvers.


: Got it Command, we'll give it our best shot.

Bell drops two flares and and attempts to shake the missiles on her tail.

[NoZoner]

After confirming that no bandits are following him, Lorens tests the power lever and checks his gauges for any possible leaks or temperature warnings.

Still in the fight, Ash pulls out of his dive and finds the Brynhildr's weapons radar tracking him. He maneuvers evasively at the sound of the MAW tone, throwing out two chaff clouds to dump the missile.

[Qwepir]

"Sorry, guys. If you can, permenantly disable the self-defense systems on the ship so we can neutralize it."

: We're trying! The traitors have the only guns on the ship!

Gaffe tries to recompense himself. He pop 2 flares and does evasive maneuvers to dodge the TAG, and then takes aim at Virvel and fires his autocannon and his pulses. He prays to the gods that his shots connect.

"Oh."

He launches a JSM each at the two starboard engines of the cruiser and tries to evade the missiles without countermeasures, taking a deep breath and resigning himself to whatever happens next.

[NoZoner]

Lorens Lorens picks up nails on his warning receiver and realizes they're targeting Gaffe's fighter. He makes the split decision to turn the Shiva around to point and activate the ECM pod, hoping it's enough to break lock.

Ash With the missiles trashed and no hard spikes sounding off from the warning receiver, Ash recovers, finding himself a few thousand feet below the furball. "... Two missiles defeated!
