ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Badger]

Walt pops a flare and fires a tag beacon at Attacker 1-1

"Tagging the morgen, light him up."

[Ad Bot]

[CypherX]

Gus pops a packet of flares and evades.

"Geary, some help if possible?"

[Gojira]

"stuff!"
I fire everything at Transport 1 once it's in range. I have to eject if I get another missile fired at me, which sucks, because the Razorback is nice.
I'm so sorry, Yukamo.

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko continues speeding towards the transport group.

[Tayasaurus]

Tippy spots the enemy transports bearing down on the base.

: We have company! We're going to need to get armed very quickly!

She pulls her pistol out and disengages the safety.

[Operator¹]

if it comes down to it you could probably steal the shikra

then again it probably doesn't have any fuel or munitions loaded

[NoZoner]

In a single instant wracked with desperation and muddled by tachypsychia, Richard makes the decision to outrun the incoming missiles. He turns the Talon away, sweeps the wings and pushes the fusion engines to their limits. He prays to the gods that his craft can accelerate fast enough to get away.

I'm so sorry, Yukamo.

1-6 fires a single HSM before abandoning its pursuit of you.

Jaakko continues speeding towards the transport group.

You are finally in missile range. The transports will be on top of the base next turn.

In a single instant wracked with desperation and muddled by tachypsychia, Richard makes the decision to outrun the incoming missiles. He turns the Talon away, sweeps the wings and pushes the fusion engines to their limits. He prays to the gods that his craft can accelerate fast enough to get away.

The missiles keeps chasing you, though it is gaining ground much slower. At best, you've bought yourself some time. At worst, you're going to abandon your team.

Attacker 1-5 shoots two heatseekers at Tourist, and 1-2 shoots an MMS12 at Walt. 1-1 has gone completely defensive.

We have company! We're going to need to get armed very quickly!

: Armed? Are you insane? We're not going to fight off an invasion, there are people here to do that for us!

She pulls up in front of the barracks and gets out.
: We just need to get indoors, and let the army...

She notices the transports cresting the treeline.
: handle... it...

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko watches Bell's IFF signal die, and sees a puff of smoke about where Yui would be. His heart seems to stop. He fears he is going to die.

Jaakko fires the MMS-20 into the leading Sabre in the escort formation and fires three HSM's at the first heavy transport.

The missiles' flashes produce interesting visual anomalies as the Fenrir drops its glass-like cloak.

[Gojira]

"Nope, I am not dying today."
I eject, and from a safe (thank the Ark) distance watch the missile hit the Razorback, tearing the airframe to shreds and sending it down in chunks.
I am so, so sorry, Yukamo.

[CypherX]

"Geary, any time now!"

Gus maneuvers as hard as possible to stay out of the Flanker's gunsights.


anyone going to shift those votes over now?

[Badger]

Walt scowls at the missile notifications pops two flares then turns to support Tempest and fires a MMS-12 at Attacker 1-3

[Operator¹]

Bell yells a bunch of obscenities that nobody else can hear while the roosterpit falls apart and the canopy blows off by itself. She pulls the ejection handle and watches as the Morgenstern breaks apart with the engines still going.

[Tayasaurus]

: We need to get to cover.

Tippy grabs Yukamo's arm and heads for her dorm.
