Bell aims at the Odjur's port engine block.
--- End quote ---
As Bell zeroes in on the escort cruiser, she sees in her mirrors the AFS Blixtkrig breaking in half as a series of secondaries rip through the fuselage. Likely a result of her shot from a few seconds ago.

Xiaomei's Wyvern sharply pitches upwards and begins climbing to throw off the targeting solution, but not early enough. The gun Crash was attempting to destroy blasts the entire aft end of the Wyvern into molten slag, and what's left of the front half tumbles uncontrollably onto its back.
: Bai gaa fo.
As he passes the somersaulting wreck, Crash can see in his rear-views the orange flash of an ejection seat firing as the pilot escapes.

As he does, his eyes fix on the flagship and his mind settles on one singular, burning purpose. He grits his teeth, burying his grief and pain, letting it fuel his determination.
--- End quote ---
Xiaomei knocked out the gun targeting Walter before she went down, and there's no warning of another targeting fix.
--- Quote from: NoZoner on October 29, 2018, 05:13:39 PM ---Cannon rounds perforate the already stricken Tornado. Before Lorens could react, a shockwave slams him against his harness, thrashing his head and knocking the wind out of his lungs. He pries his eyes wide open to find stars whirling around him in the roosterpit.
"... This is Snowman... I'm punching out," Lorens calls out to no-one in particular, unaware his roosterpit has gone dark and that there was only static coming out of his headset. He sluggishly reaches for the canopy release and pulls the ejection handle.
--- End quote ---
Snowman begins his slow descent in his chute, realizing that if the rest of the unit doesn't complete the mission he'll probably be dead before he touches the ground.
Onyx knocks out the Evig Seger's port engine set, and a slew of JSMs and gunfire begin impacting against the Odslighet's hull.
Point Blank against the Odslighet and its escorts next turn.
The destruction of the Blixtkrig has bought precious seconds for the defense.
Aesthian Airships will reach their target in 3 turns.
carolcat:
Walt grips the stick until his knuckles turn white, taking aim on the Odslighet as he maintains course straight towards it. His heart is pounding in his chest, and his jaw is tense. He can't see anything outside of his roosterpit save for the looming Odslighet before him.
He glances at the radio and opens an Aesthian channel, hailing the flagship. "Lieutenant Ashford requesting clearance to land on the AFS Odslighet," he calls, his voice eerily level.
Mr. Hurricane:
“Xiaomei! stuff!”
Jaakko evades again, desperately trying to get out of the way of the railgun.
NoZoner:
Lorens winces as the flash of the secondary explosions aboard the Blixtkrig light up the sky before him for a few fractions of a second. Buffeted by the resulting shockwave, his heart skips a beat before relief washes over him as his parachute miraculously stays open.
Realizing he hasn't heard seen or heard Ash over the radio, Lorens wonders if his brother is still alive. With what precious little time he figures he has, he starts praying to every deity he's ever known—for Mjolnir to accomplish its last mission, for Ash's soul, and for his own.
Operator¹:
Bell pulls the trigger and fires the cannon with the hope that the shot will connect with the Odjur.
Ellie fires an RGM at the Odslighet's bridge to distract the point defense.
