Left with no flares to defend the incoming heatseekers and no time to turn away, Richard throttles the engines and faces the missiles directly to minimize his infrared signature. Watching the smoke trails, he pulls into a wide barrel roll, waiting for the missiles to approach before rolling around and barreling in the opposite direction at the last possible moment.

Tippy and the others disembark but cautiously. Tippy scans all possible points of attack (everywhere) as they make their way across the large field.
You make it to the hangar without incident, but you are a lot closer to the battle.
: So what, we just need to help you go down the pre-start checklist so you can go out there and fight off the Huits?
: I'm not going to be the one piloting. I wish I could, but I can't. That thing jostles you around so much it makes me physically sick, I'd be useless up there.
: Well if you're not going to pilot, who is?
Pagodin looks at Tippy, and Yukamo follows his gaze.
: No. Absolutely not. You've said it before, that thing isn't safe! She could be killed!
: Look outside,
nowhere is safe, and we're
all going to be killed if we don't do anything! The bastards landed behind your people's perimeter guns, and anyone shooting back is getting torn to loving
ribbons. This is our best, hell it's the
only option I can think of to even stall them.
: Then we find another pilot for it, it doesn't need to be her.
: Do
you want to go out there and find one? She's here, she can handle it, I assume, and it's ultimately her call to make. Captain, what do you say?

"On the bright side, the helmet covers my face as well..."
I quickly lean over off of the branch, to a degree that I won't fall off, then, using my knife to ensure I don't get bit through my gloves, knock it off of my helmet, and let it fall on to the snake.
It bounces off the snake and falls the rest of the way to the ground. You are still up a tall-ass tree.
Bell takes and uses the first aid kit to patch up her most severe wounds, though she knows that internal bleeding won't stop if it's occurring. She picks up and puts on the respirator, making sure to put in any filters that go with it.
"Ah forget, they're definitely not going to let me fly again after taking another dosage of shrapnel."
Bell packs up any extra supplies from the first aid kit and gear into a backpack before securing the rope to the inside of the capsule. She then starts lowering herself down to the elevated highway.
This happens. The highway is mostly empty at this time, so she doesn't have to worry about being hit by cars or anything.
it's usually our own faults that these things happen
everything that happens in this mission is the result of mjolnir's previous actions
