You pull on the stick again, careful not to fall unconscious, but it doesn't look like it's going to be enough.
Gus flicks on the afterburners and flies by Hawkeye, dropping a packet of flares.
Fortunately, Tempest has his head screwed on straight, and with a bit of quick thinking manages to prevent Yui from becoming a rapidly-expanding cloud of molten metal and meat chunks. The drone disengages, presumably to go home and sulk.
Jaakko begins making a huge orbit around the cloud.
It would indeed need to be a huge orbit, as you aren't dealing with a single cloud, but an entire formation that appears to cover hundreds of miles.
Faw surveys the damage done to the carrier.
Two of the starboard engines are nonfunctional, the flight deck shutters have been blown open in a few places, and there appears to be a fire on the starboard landing port. The carrier has needed to drop altitude quite a bit, unable to maintain its ordinary cruising height, but at least it isn't dropping into the sea.
There are now no more hostiles in the area
