"Let's regroup with what's left of the strike package."
"Bell, we only have seven minutes! We can't waste time regrouping with the formation!"
".. Sorry Colonel, I'm going to have to agree with Crash," Lorens chimes in, looking out the canopy to the rest of his flight, "If we regroup with the main formation, the enemy fighters will only wear us down till we can't fight. It's either now or never."
:
Yeah! Let's just
charge in there, where we're outnumbered by airships with guns the size of our planes, and
die!
"Ah. forget it."

Ash's heart skips as beat as he hears the thunderous noise behind him. Relieved that it wasn't actually a warhead going off, he continues running towards the light source at the end of the street.
You step into the light at the end of the street- apparently, the owner of a storefront neglected to turn off a gas lantern hanging outside in all the commotion. The street you find yourself on now is wide enough that you cannot make out just how far across it is to the other side, and in what you assume to be the middle of the street you see the faint glint of metal rails. A thunderous roar to your left draws attention to a surface to air missile, launching from a side street a few blocks down.
