ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Gojira]

I continue evading, and drop my remaining flares, breaking hard to get on the Sabre's tail.

Meanwhile back on base Tippy sits on her bed staring at the computer from across the room.

She had just finished typing up several drafts, several of which were incomplete but can be implemented later.

The huge outdated computer made that buzzing sound you could hear if you listened carefully and glowed brilliantly with its boisterous CRT monitor sitting atop the desk.

These things have its charms, but the weight kind of offsets a little of the joy in it. Nobody knew this but Tippy had a thing for making stuff with her hands, Mechanically she can

be a savant but recently her barriers have been digital. She thought back to her short visit in Kintharia and Yukamo suddenly.

"I guess some things can't be fixed practically." Tippy said aloud.

Tippy puts on her helmet and heads outside for a stroll around the base.

(tippy officially active again. ogm all this birthday stuff going on and i can't focus on stuffs)

Bell fires off two heatseekers at the Rafale as she closes into LCP range.

Out of flares, the Rafale can only attempt to evade. Though it miraculously succeeds in dodging the incoming missiles, it is no longer chasing Crash and now at the mercy of your pulse laser.

I shoot my AC5 at Sabre, trying to help Yui.

The Sabre. It is a plane called a Sabre, it is not your teammate gone rogue. You give it a few hits, but it continues to pursue your squadmate through the barrage.

I continue evading, and drop my remaining flares, breaking hard to get on the Sabre's tail.

You manage to kill the entire salvo with your pair of flares, but have no luck getting behind the Sabre.

: Just hold them off a little while longer, control is doing the final system checks now.

[Gojira]

"I hate this thing!"
I keep maneuvering to avoid getting hit.

[Mr. Hurricane]

I jink, drop countermeasures, and curse my luck. I dive to get away.

"AWACS, is Comro available? My engines fighting me so I can't dogfight. Any RGM's you could put together for me?"

[Gojira]

awacs can't do rgms i think

"I hate this thing!"
I keep maneuvering to avoid getting hit.

You take a glancing hit on your wing and the Sabre fires a heatseeker at you to finish you off.

"AWACS, is Comro available? My engines fighting me so I can't dogfight. Any RGM's you could put together for me?"

: Negative, COMRO is unavailable. Sorry, but you'll just have to make do.

Bell shoots the Rafale with the LCP

It is shot down. While the heat sinks have begun cooling the PPC to more usable levels of heat, the inside of your roosterpit is still oppressively hot, almost distractingly so.

[Gojira]

"Are you loving kidding me?"
The incoming missile warning buzzes in my helmet.
"Hawkeye punching out, I can't take another hit!"
I pull the ejection handle, and hope I don't get sliced in half by my pursuer.

[blockguy™]

"Oh, stuff!"
I bank and get on the Sabre's tail.

I pull the ejection handle, and hope I don't get sliced in half by my pursuer.

He's not exploding again.


"forget," I lament to myself.

"I pull back closer to the mass driver launch site. I can see the SSTO rocket from here.

[Qwepir]

I pull the ejection handle, and hope I don't get sliced in half by my pursuer.

You feel the distinct sensation of a rib snapping as the wall of air hits you. Fortunately your pursuer leaves you alone.

"Oh, stuff!"
I bank and get on the Sabre's tail.

The enemy Sabre begins ducking and evading, they'll probably turn the tables on you soon if you don't get any help.

"I pull back closer to the launch site. I can see the rocket from here.

You see the rocket begin its ignition phase.

Bell closes in on the Sabre with two seekers and a burst of LCP fire, she tries to line up a PPC shot on the fighter.

[blockguy™]

I see Bell's two missiles going in for the Sabre. I shoot one off along with the other ones, and then I start firing my AC5 at the Sabre.
