"1-1, Walt should be following me," I say.

I watch the airspeed indicator. At this angle it's just holding.

"I figured Tippy was the type of person who functioned better without strict oversight. Considering the target rich environment, her love for chaos, and how well she functions in chaos, it only seemed fit to leave her to herself so that she functions to the best of her abilities without obligation, except that she should keep an eye on Tourist,"

"I'm on your 5 o'clock Crash, waiting for your word."

Who's Jakko?

"I'm on your 5 o'clock Crash, waiting for your word." 

"Coulda sworn you'd be ahead of me in that tiny aircraft of yours,"

I take a breath and fortify myself. Why am I nervous?


I watch and wait for the Huit bastards to get closer, trying to shake that feeling in my chest.

"Whiskey doesn't stand a chance against them in an F-16XL."
Roger rolls his eyes and focuses on the buttfugly aircraft ahead of him. They were quite unusual and that spelled danger.

"Engage?"

"Engage?"
"Pull back and help out with the strike craft down here."


"Coulda sworn you'd be ahead of me in that tiny aircraft of yours,"


"I've got the acceleration but not the speed - our crafts are almost the same speed wise I believe."

I pull up to crash on his right side.

It's common to end sentences in quotes with commas, but that's more of a literature thing iirc.

I sic the drones on some Jaguars. They break their formation and fly off mindlessly.
The air superiority drones fly off towards the enemy Jags, scoring two hits on one of the unfortunate planes.
: [stuff, that's a lot of enemy planes!]
: [Forget the planes, stay on target.]

I pull back the stick and begin climbing with afterburners and full throttle.
The lead Sabre takes notice of you and dives upon you, sending a hail of missiles your way.

As I close into lock on range, I fire two of my HSM's at Jag-3 and 4.
Jag-4 evades the incoming missile, Jag-3 is not so lucky. While 3 tries to shake you, 4 instead opts to attempt to get on your tail.
: [Sit tight, I'll get this guy!]
: [No, dammit! The ships take priority over everything else!]
: [Don't blow a gasket, this won't take long.]

The string of foreign swears that follow indicate that the squad leader would probably be shooting down the insubordinate little stuff himself if he weren't bound by his own silly list of priorities.

Tippy catches up with Tourist and engages Jag-1 with an HSM
The enemy plane attempts to evade, but gets clobbered by the missile. You note that you could have totally dodged that missile if you were in their place.

Bell approaches the Jaguars.
The first flight is already engaged and mostly going evasive, while the second is beginning to fire on the fleet. Your call who to attack.

Here comes the MMS barrage, near Crash might not be the safest space right now.

Shortsword's AS drone exchanges fire with one of the Sabres, taking moderate damage, and Sabre-3 fires an AAM at Gladiator.

"forget"

I break a hard left. The countermeasures released sparkle behind me in the mirrors.

"Break Walt!"

stuff, why'd I fire the gun?! My Gods, I forfeit a lot of speed to get 60° to the aspect of the missiles. Now my underbelly is exposed! I wonder if I can force an overshoot. But this guy has to be an ace!

I'm flying like 600m or so off from him


I bank quickly to the right

"how nice of them to give us a welcome."

Tippy stays on Jag-1 firing off her AC5 in an attempt to shred the plane. Flakes of her angry paintjob chip off as the vibration from her guns throw out more lead down range. Best to be conserving on her only heatseekers if at all possible.

Bell engages Jag-8 from the side with her GAU cannon, activating the turbocharger to get into position for an attack on another one of the Jaguars attacking the fleet
