Rafale-18 evades your missile, but 15 does not get away from the beams. Already weakened by Shortsword's missile, the lasers destroy it likely before the occupant knew what was happening.

The broken remnants of the Rafale flight return fire with a myriad of all-aspects. Two for one of Tlacelel's honor guard, two for Shortsword, and four for Crash.
Sabre base EV 73
Experience provides bonus of 8
AAM 1 provides penalty of 35

The guardsman does not survive.

Though (most of) you cannot understand the words being said, it is clear that having almost a third of their force spent with only two casualties to show for it is not doing wonders for Navy morale.
: [We aren't even slowing them down! What are we doing up here!?]
: [Of all the worthless- Get everything up there! I want these hangars emptied!]
: [Looks like the human speedbumps couldn't even get that right! Come on, let's show them how it's really done!]

The current enemy group will be in gun range at the end of the next turn, assuming any are left.

[Lockebox]

Roger fires* his last RGM and dumps both that and his plasma cannon into rafale-18

[Operator¹]

Bell dumps two flare packets and starts trying to evade.

[Gojira]

Yui tries the catfish sandwich.
"Meh."

[CypherX]

There's no catfish?

In a jungle?

With jungle rivers?

[NoZoner]

Richard lines up a shot on another Rafale and depresses the trigger for particle projectiles.

[Qwepir]

Crash growls and evades, dumping 3 flares to counter.

By dumping half your flares you are able to avoid the incoming barrage of certain death.

The enemy pilot evades the incoming RGM, and the plasma projectile's travel time results in a miss at this distance.

AAM 1 provides penalty of 35
AAM 2 provides penalty of 35

Test taken at 72
Roll: 12 - success
You dodge the missile, and the air around you is suddenly filled with 30mm shells as the enemy plane presses its attack into gun range.

Richard lines up a shot on another Rafale and depresses the trigger for particle projectiles.

With an ungodly scraping shriek, the PPC takes down another Rafale.

The incoming enemy planes avoid engaging the Sky Marshal, apparently thinking they'll have better luck with Mjolnir's pilots. Rafale 8 changes its heading towards Crash, 13 for Shortsword, 14 for Tourist, and 18 for Whiskey. 14 fires 2 HSMs at its target, and 18 launches one at Whiskey.

Enemy planes are now in gun range.

[Operator¹]

Bell fires two AAMs at her pursuer and brings the Morgenstern into a near-vertical climb, then she fires up the turbocharger.

[blockguy™]

I pop flares and try to get the Rafale off of my tail.

[Operator¹]

"Sabre, continue ahead with the Sky Marshal's group, we'll finish off these fighters and link up with you afterwards."

[NoZoner]

"... Copy. Sabre, blowing through."

Trusting that his squadmates will handle the straggling fighters, Richard follows the Sky Marshall towards the renegade fleet. He lets his eyes wander across the gunship, realizing he might be the only GTO combatant to have a chance of snagging a close-up of Tlacelel's aircraft without being immediately in danger of obliteration.

[Lockebox]

I pop flares in attempt to shake the missile.

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko fires an HSM at Rafale 8.
