I drop flares and turn hard.

You're hit with one of the MMS missiles anyways, the other five scatter into the plethora of flares or miss. Now turned away from her, Nagato takes advantage of your maneuvering to slam on the turbochargers, sending her barreling into PPC range. A couple of beams are tossed at you, and one of them hits firmly on exactly the same elevator you lost to PPC fire last time. The simulation locks it again.

[Juncoph]

elevator

the term is elevator

tailfin is too vague because there's also the rudder

[Gojira]

did i lose an elevator or a rudder

[xxxxkill]

Elevator. Your rudder is fine. Sort of.

[Gojira]

thanks
I turn to get on Nagato's tail and fire an AAM at her, then try and hit her with the lasers.

She quietly flips through one of the non-translated books looking for illustrations.

It's an almost 40-year-old operator's manual for the Imperial StG-75. There are plenty of pictures and diagrams illustrating how to clean and inspect the weapon, clear jams, adjust the sights, etc.

As you turn to attempt to get on the tail of your pursuer, she fires another salvo of MMS mini-missiles. She then breaks off while dumping flares, the AAM screaming past her airframe and into the clouds. She's already attempting to soften her loss, and performing a tight turn back towards you. You don't really notice your guns overheating until the message pops up on your HUD. At least you weren't cooked in your own roosterpit. You are rapidly approaching short range.

[Tayasaurus]

"Oh forgetin-A. I like this manual. You got the actual gun around here somewhere?"

Tippy flips open her notepad and begins re-sketching the weapon

[Qwepir]

"Oh forgetin-A. I like this manual. You got the actual gun around here somewhere?"

: Yeah. Do you want to see it?

[Tayasaurus]

: Yeah. Do you want to see it?

"Yes Please."

[Gojira]

I drop flares, then turn hard, punching the aircraft, and try to mess up her gun solution by turning my aircraft unpredictably but keeping control.

[Qwepir]

"Yes Please."

Yukamo puts down her pen and goes to her room. She comes out carrying a hard gun case, which she sets on the table and opens up to reveal the weapon inside, which she immediately starts gushing over.
: You can see here, this little stamp? That means it was manufactured at the Albstati manufacturing plant. And this little double-headed wings-out eagle is the Imperial seal they were using at the time, but they replaced it with the single-head wings-above-head version they use now sometime in... 4883, I think? So this particular model is at least 32 years old, maybe even more. Which is kind of cool but it also sort of sucks because that means it's chambered for 7.92x57mm cartridges, and I don't know a single gun store here that sells them. I'd have to import the bullets from Mercana, and that would make them like twice as expensive and take even longer to get here...

She shows no signs of stopping.

The augmented woman laughs at you.
: [What's the matter? You're flopping like a fish out of water!]

An MMS missile manages to hit you, chipping away at your armor just a little bit again. As you turn away she falls in behind you.
: [You're mine in a few seconds, fishy!]

True to her word, the EM lance fires, but merely tickles your aircraft. She is almost within EM range, and continues to doggedly pursue you.
