"Raiden, what's the situation?"
"Alright, looks like Blackeye punched out safely. Let's see if Raiden needs any help."
: Those Self Delete Berkuts really gave us hell. We took two down before you showed up, but they got Musashi and bagged eight Imp planes first. It's those damn MiGs out there, if they aren't actively firing on you they're giving you a lock warning, and these Imp greenhorns are cracking under the pressure. We're going after
them, the rank and file can deal with the rest.
Ash rockets out of the Typhoon. Right as he starts falling again, the parachute comes out, jostling him as the ejection seat detaches. He watches explosions flash against the night sky, grimacing as he clenches the paracord.
From your vantage point drifting slowly down from ten thousand feet, you can see clearly the Aesthian aerial fleet in the distance, their positions in the night sky betrayed by the flashes of point-defense fire as they shoot down Imperial SAMs. One of the lead bombers takes several direct hits from the Imperial fleet and begins losing altitude, its wingmates returning the gesture with a cannonade of plasma that you don't get to see the final effect of.

Not faring much better, Lorens gets a spike from the Fenrir element newly arrived at his six and quickly deflects in defense. "Snowman!" Acknowledging Jaakko's order, Lorens drops the power, extends the brake, opens the wings and pulls back as hard as the fully laden Tornado will allow. To start, he tries to bring his guns to bear over Kraxe-2.
Kraxe-2 begins to disappear, but you can still predict where it's going to be for the next few seconds.
Bell makes a hard banking maneuver to get her sights lined up on Kraxe-1, and she holds her fire to acquire a better shot for now.
