ABS FIESTA REDUX

[CypherX]

"Hah. We have a real party now."

Gus turns to Pagodin, looking quite green.

"This is yet another Mjolnir pilot, Major Bell Kibble." He turns back to his flight leader. "Bell, this is Mikhail Pagodin. You're looking at a Deltan walker the guys up top have ordered Pagodin to turn into an Imperial armor hunter. We were just discussing the merits of such an adaptation on an air-dropped vehicle."

[Ad Bot]

[Qwepir]

Jaakko jinks his hardest and attempts to cloak.

"Now that's some loving bullstuff," he hisses.

Nagato cackles.
: Alright, alright, we'll do it your way.

She starts heading back to her starting position.

Gus turns to Pagodin, exiting the walker.

(he wasn't exiting, he was opening the canopy to get fresh air and to hear the people outside shouting at him)

"This is yet another Mjolnir pilot, Major Bell Kibble." He turns back to his flight leader. "Bell, this is Mikhail Pagodin. You're looking at a Deltan walker the guys up top have ordered Pagodin to turn into an Imperial armor hunter. We were just discussing the merits of such an adaptation on an air-dropped vehicle."

He gives the new arrivals a wave before sitting back in his seat.
: Forgive me if I'm not able to return the greetings, I'm 20 meters into a 1000 meter test drive and already getting physically ill. ...Think I'll leave the canopy open, just in case.

It starts stomping off again. You swear you can see cracks forming in the pavement in its wake.

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko returns to his starting position.

[Swat 3]

[Qwepir]

Jaakko returns to his starting position.

She reaches her position.
: Alright, let's try this again.

start: round 2

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko waits to close to just outside missile range to cloak.

[Qwepir]

Jaakko waits to close to just outside missile range to cloak.

: Tsk.

She has her wingmen drop back to cover her rear and moves to engage yours, which are flying towards her in your absence.

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko gets in to a climb but keeps on Nagato's vector.

[Gojira]

are you just gonna leave the wingmen alone or
"Well. That was something."

[Qwepir]

Dueling Theme

Jaakko gets in to a climb but keeps on Nagato's vector.

Now within missile range, Nagato's J-10s fire on your MiG-29s, and yours return the favor.

She evades them too, though she's operating with much fewer flares than you are.

Fulcrum 1 and Nagato's Vanguard exchange gunfire as they pass each other, while 2 moves to engage Nagato.

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko swings about and attempts to lock on to Nagato's tail.
