I watch the burning wreck. There's a flash. He ejected. I grin and shake slightly. I get a thermal layover on the HUD. There's a man, in a parachute. Berezin.

"Eat stuff!" I shrill, practically frothing at the mouth.

I line him up in my sights.

"This is for Steele!" I cry.

The trigger depresses softly.



I'd assume that my gun would have cooled a bit, but don't worry about it because after this round it would just be at the same heat again.

that's kind of
uh
illegal
also it's night how are you seeing him

I'd assume that pilots have some sort of night vision equipment in the future


"GET BACK HERE YOU starfish."
I climb to gain a bit of altitude then punch the afterburner and dive on Hetzer, guns blazing, and fire off three heatseekers, using the speed I gained to get away from him and turn around for another engagement.
Only one of the heatseekers manages to reach its target, and Hetzer fires his last AAMs at you.

Faw fires four missiles, with each one targeting Jensen, Ansell, Paladius, and Coaxoch.
Jensen and Coaxoch fly out of the circle, Paladius deploys chaff, and Ansell goes down.

Noone is chasing you, you are clear to disengage.

: What the forget are you doing?
: [He can't do that!]
: I AM GOING TO TEAR YOUR HEAD OFF AND MOUNT IT ON MY WALL.

Kicking her fusion engine into high gear, she disengages from her current target and focuses solely on you. Before you can even celebrate your kill, you feel your plane shake from the impact of three pulse lasers firing continuously. Your engine flares out, and your right wings are almost melting.
Another of Takamichi's messages pops up on your HUD, accompanying the damage indicator.
"What a mess. What did you do?"

Getting closer, I agressively maneuver towards the Nosferatu, enable HMD cueing and bring up a compound gunsight onto my HUD. "Going in for the kill!" I bring Hetzer into the gun funnel and fire a long cannon burst, making sure he doesn't leave my sights. The tracers paint a bright, menacing trail through the night sky before me.

I drop flares and break hard right. Once those are gone, I try and fire another two heatseekers at him and spray him with the laser.

You're a monster

Bell asks for HSMs once she forms up on the AWACS.

: What the forget are you doing?

"What the hell happened?"

Life slows down again. My aircraft is begin rattled by that Huitz squadron whore.

"What a mess, what did you do?"

"I shot a man in a parachute, Takamichi, perhaps for you and Steele" I whisper as if the aircraft were listening.

I feel… terrible. I don't know what to believe. I've done something terrible. There was no closure. There was no feeling of vengeance or anything that could be described as satisfaction.

The aircraft is more or less melting. The engine has seized and splattered its fans all over it's casing. I'm also pretty sure it's burning. The wings are red hot, and paint has been burnt off the cover. Some of the control surfaces are currently melting together. Canard response is weak. Altimeter reads 300 meters. Most of the electronics have brunt out. As is the radio. The canopy is cracked and warped from the heat.

I pray for forgiveness, and even that Berezin is still alive. What have I done?

My hands slides to the ejection seat handle. I yank it and the canopy flies into the wind. The seat fires me out. It's almost familiar now.

I pray for mercy.

i'd just ditch it in the sand but w/e

"What the hell just happened?" I ask as I continue engaging Hetzer.

Though the missiles are evaded, the incoming gunfire does some serious hull damage, even knocking out one of his gauss cannons. He attempts to fall in on Hawkeye's six.

Consumed with rage, she doesn't even attempt to evade or use countermeasures, and lets the missile hit her.

Bell asks for HSMs once she forms up on the AWACS.
"What the hell happened?"
Your first support plane having been destroyed, you are forced to fly an extra several kilometers or so to get to the nearest allied AWACS.
: Understood, stand by. We are currently assisting Mercanan planes.
: What happened is that your squadmate just shot a man in a parachute. Need I remind you people that that is a war crime and that we have a squadmate in a chute right now that his actions have now endangered.
: Yeah, what the forget is wrong with you people? Do they teach you that that's okay?

The enemy plane shoots past you and cuts off the gunfire. You watch it bank and turn around for another pass, and it begins flying directly at you as you lazily parachute down. The last thing you see is the leading edge of the Huit plane's wing before it hits you at transonic speeds, bifurcating you at the waist and killing you immediately.

"No, dammit, they mention that it's a loving war crime. What the hell was he thinking?!"
I slam my airbrakes, hoping- no, praying for him to overshoot, then hit him with even more lasers and two heatseekers.
