Bell lines up a run on the carrier, aiming to get the elevators on her course.

he's 17 iirc
he was 17 two (i think) years ago when mjolnir fought at taiton

Richard drops two flare packets and jinks hard to trash the missiles.


... taiton was two years ago?

... taiton was two years ago?
The RP began in 4914, taiton was a pretty early-on mission, and the first encounter with tlacelel was in 4916
[6] Date: 11/26/4916. Intercepted GTO attack on radar station. Destroyed entire flight of Mercanan Razorbacks with single MMS-40 barrage. Mjolnir flight pursued out of combat area. Remained on station around the radar site for an hour before returning to base.
so maybe not QUITE 2 years ago, he might still be 18
is it obvious i detest keeping concrete dates yet?

sky marshal smashforgeter was 2 years ago?!

holy richards that means ralph is like 22*

Roger, somewhat surprised at the effectiveness of the plasma gun sets his sites on the command(?) Tower of the carrier and fires the plazma cannon again
: [Sir, get down!]
: [Unhand me, you-]

The bolt hits the tower behind the command bridge, melting a hole right through the structure and starting a raging fire on the inside. On your way in you take some serious damage from the laser point-defense, and on the way out you catch two SAMs.

The remaining SAM emplacement fires on you as you approach.

Roll: 18 - success
Test passed

You junk the missiles, and are now totally safe from aerial attack. All that remains is the ships.

Tlacelel continues his attack on the dreadnought, now joined by his wingman and Coaxoch. A massive breach is opened along the waterline, and several more AA systems are knocked out. Water begins rushing into the breach and the dreadnought starts to list towards the side with the breach.

I head to the AWACS to resupply, but instead I take 2 AGM's instead of 2 HSM's.

Bell deploys chaff and breaks towards the dreadnought.

Jaakko orbits the fight at a distance.

Roger wrestles the flight stick like a madman as what seemed like hundreds of little lasers flashed outside the roosterpit window and in many places make contact with the plane. The aircraft spinned like a top as he maneuvered away from the defenses and dropped chaff in an attempt to throw off the missiles.

"If there's a laser god he must really loving hate me!"

The AWACS replenishes your heatseekers but, as is the case with almost all COMRO systems, cannot replicate RGMs.

Test failed

You are hit by the incoming SAM, but are now lined up on the dreadnought.

Jaakko orbits the fight at a distance.
Looking in at the fight you see that the cruiser's top structure has been reduced to a blazing inferno, the dreadnought is tilting towards one side, possibly going to capsize, and the smaller ships are in disarray without coordination from the flagship carrier. The remaining frigate even goes as far as to fire on a corvette as it tries to leave formation and turn back.

It's time you all start making a little compilation for the OP and call it "The Hall of Lewd"

"Hey, uh, Deltan AWACS, how many of those ships would still have nukes?"
