ABS FIESTA REDUX

[CypherX]

speaking of total mistakes

Youll have to forgive me as it appears I'm handicapped. The wyvern is chasing you not blockguy

honestly though, Ralph Richard and Roger? You guys need some more variety

[Ad Bot]

[Qwepir]

I consistently forget that Ralph is huit, and even when I do, it fails to make an impact. This is do in part to the fact that his name is Ralph and not something like Cuathémoc or Coatl.

i mean, considering he was smuggled out of the country it could just be a fake name and not his birth one
update coming when i get back from work, which will be like 7 EST or something
just kidding its now

Gus rolls left and lines up his sights on the Wyvern chasing Richard. An RGM soon streaks across the sky.

Xiaomei effortlessly gets out of your lock circle, but in doing so you have forced her to disengage from Sabre. Unfortunately, now she's turning around to engage you instead.

Eyeing the mirrors anxiously, Richard catches the glint of an aircraft latching onto the Wyvern's tail. It's Gus' F-35K.

"Tempest, thank gods! I'm going to recover and continue extending back to high! Watch the bandit! If you can't stay behind it, stay above it!"

The Sabre pulls out of the dive, low enough to singe the treetops and fast enough to blast loose plant matter away with a resounding sonic boom! Vapor briefly shrouds the fighter in a cone as it transitions to supersonic flight. The rumble of the afterburners follows in the Sabre's wake, sending deep vibrations all across the jungle below. Richard pulls up on the stick and climbs once more, intent on gaining lost altitude and resetting the situation.

Xiaomei has let you go, for the time being.

I fire off my AAM at Yamashiro.

Yamashiro is shot down, but before you can celebrate you are hammered by a PPC from Musashi, and are warned of incoming munitions.

Yamato lays into Tourist further with the LCP as she blows past and starts attempting to maneuver behind him.

Roger hears the noise behind the door.

"Tippyyyyy you in there? You've been a recluse for quite some time and i'd figure i'd check up on you."

Tippy fumbles with her jaw bolt and pops it back in and goes to the door.

"I'm fine. I'll be out in a few minutes. You can go do whatever it is weasels do."

[Lockebox]

Tippy fumbles with her jaw bolt and pops it back in and goes to the door.

"I'm fine. I'll be out in a few minutes. You can go do whatever it is weasels do."

"I resent that statement. Glad you're still alive though."

(if you were dead though it'd save my mission a lot of trouble.)

"I'll be weasling in the cafeteria if you want a bite to eat or something."

[CypherX]

Gus fires off two HSMs and an AAM.

[Tayasaurus]

Tippy waits for the sound of Roger's steps to disappear down the hall then turns around to the robot next to her desk. She had reassembled the arms and legs to the body and had the automaton suspended from some rigging equipment she "borrowed" from a hangar. She tapped a few buttons on her keyboard and set the machine into boot.

"Wake up rust-bucket, i got objectives for you. Not sure if you've been programmed to be interested in offers or not. But since i can't leave you lying around you might be interested in some work?"

[Qwepir]

"Wake up rust-bucket, i got objectives for you. Not sure if you've been programmed to be interested in offers or not. But since i can't leave you lying around you might be interested in some work?"

It just stares at you, waiting for you to elaborate.

[Tayasaurus]

"I'll take that as a yes. As you can see, my room is in poor condition. There are also a ton of heavy crates in the corner that need unpacking and organizing since we've changed location since our last interaction. I'm going to assign you to do this, and with time i might be able to find you less petty tasks to perform. I can only assume this is something you'd want to do. besides laying around... Are you interested?"

[Qwepir]

Are you interested?"

It acknowledges your instructions and looks relieved that it's being asked to do work instead of hold a conversation (how Tippy knows what "relief" looks like on something with no face is up in the air). It stands up and goes to get to work unpacking the crates.

[Tayasaurus]

"I'm heading out, cleaning tools are in the closet and some personal hardware is in the bottom drawer if you need to use nails on anything."

Tippy watches the bot work before slipping out into the hallway.

"Too bad those things are designed to be more social."

[NoZoner]

The Sabre continues pitching past vertical, eventually looping over the Wyvern. Richard pulls back on the power and points the aircraft straight down on the bandit. He enables HMD cueing and locks onto the target. His heart starts to race.

... Now!

In a single act, Richard enters a high-G barrel roll and unleashes a full MMS salvo onto the Wyvern below, fanning out the munitions in a spiral. A tower of virtual smoke surrounds the Sabre as it recovers from the maneuver and plummets towards its target. He keeps the seeker trained on the bandit as he tries to latch onto its tail.

[CypherX]

well... forget.

[Qwepir]

just waiting on the other two and then we can see how that plays out for you

[Gojira]

"I don't like you."
I drop my last set of flares and pull as hard as my aircraft will let me.

[Qwepir]

oh bother not again
