ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Gojira]

I try to see if there's an AWACS or a command tower nearby.
"Also, why the hell are they speaking Aesthian and not Porlaqi?"

[Ad Bot]

[Operator¹]

"Their Aesthian is a bit broken, don't worry about the details."

Ellie locks onto the leader with an RGM.

[Gojira]

"Fair enough."
I continue trying to hail a tower or an AWACS.

[Qwepir]

"Porlaqi air force flight, you are entering North Aesthian airspace, divert immediately."

Before you get a response from the Porlaqi pilot, you pick up a quieter transmission from an entirely different party.
: Divert? No, you are going to help us.

Ellie locks onto the leader with an RGM.

They do not react to the missile lock, due either to not caring or even not knowing you even have a lock.

"Fair enough."
I continue trying to hail a tower or an AWACS.

command towers tend not to stick out of the ocean

"Also, why the hell are they speaking Aesthian and not Porlaqi?"

porlaqi is an offshoot of aesthian

[Operator¹]

"Alright Markus, light them up."

Ellie fires both RGMs at the flight lead.

[Gojira]

"D- did you hear that? Something like 'targets identified?'"
I fire off an RGM each at MiGs two and three.

command towers tend not to stick out of the ocean

shhh

[Operator¹]

"Yeah, but we still have to keep these guys from passing into our airspace, of course, I would like to avoid fighting with with whatever they're flying away from as much as possible."

[Gojira]

"I quite agree, but I'm worried we won't have a choice. I mean, look at them. They're flying cigaretteots, for Ark's sake! Whatever's behind them is not far behind."

[Qwepir]

"Alright Markus, light them up."

Ellie fires both RGMs at the flight lead.

: What!? What are you doing!?

You blow the flight leader out of the sky.

"D- did you hear that? Something like 'targets identified?'"
I fire off an RGM each at MiGs two and three.

The enemy planes begin exploding before your missiles even get there.
: Oh God, this plan wasn't good at all! It was horrible plan!

You finish off one of the two you had targeted, the other being destroyed before the missile got there.
: Kills registered.

Their squadron leader down, the MiGs scatter. 5 keeps flying for Aesthia, 6 and 9 turn around and start heading to engage the drone with guns, and 10 changes heading north and tries to flee in that direction.

[Operator¹]

"Markus, take down the one that's headed for our airspace, we'll pull back after that."

[Gojira]

"Copy that, not interested in dying on my first mission."
I fire off my HSMs at MiG-5.

Miraculously, MiG 10 evades the barrage of missiles. Its teammates are not as fortunate.
: Unit to Orbital Command. Requesting resupply.

The Helian plane kicks in the afterburners and begins rapidly closing on MiG 10.

[Gojira]

"Okay, this is just unfair. Should we consider helping the poor bastard?"

[Operator¹]

"Are you serious?"

[Gojira]

"Are you serious?"

"Nevermind."
