Yui gives a thumbs up and gestures "a little."

"Preparing to attack the reactor, Snowman when you are finished up over there see if you can follow in behind me."

"You got i- [Bitch!]"

Lorens moves to deal with the nearby SAM emplacement that set off his warning receiver. Clearing the now-ruined gantry, he finds himself in gun range and quickly puts the piper on target.

"Uh, Crash? I'd_Bbe happy to oblige to a toss-bombing,Tbut the A-10's not fast enough to do the trick," he responds,
                    ^{BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTT}
"I think the Shikra can do it. If Walt still has any bombs left, I can loft rockets to overwhelm PD, if there is any."

[Operator¹]

"Gladiator must be asleep at the controls."

Ellie continues flying along the canyon wall.

[Badger]

"I'm afraid I cannot do that in a gunship, I'll be dropping my UGB to open up the reactor wall leaving a target for Snowman to whip his rockets into."

[Qwepir]

Walt descends to building level and enters the central complex slowly speeding up from VTOL

Test taken at 48
Roll: 7 - success
You skillfully slip the Shikra in between the buildings, dangerously low to the ground and with virtually no room to maneuver on either side. Dead ahead is the reactor complex, and all that stands between you and it are a pair of SPAAGs.

The site launches a SAM moments before its destruction, but with no guidance from the launcher, the missile merely pinwheels into the wreckage.

Jaakko fires two AAMs up towards Typhoon 1. The missiles climb out of the canyon.

The Typhoons are one turn from missile range.

The missiles climb out of the canyon. And keep climbing. And climbing. And climbing...

Yui gives a thumbs up and gestures "a little."

He returns the thumbs up.
: Good to hear.

"Gladiator must be asleep at the controls."

Ellie continues flying along the canyon wall.

Two Typhoons break off and start diving towards you, while the other three watch from above. All targets are now in missile range.

[Gojira]

Yui nods and continues to maneuver through the canyon until she's safe from radar.

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko curses his own name for getting anxious and launching missiles out of range.

He fires two more AAMs at Typhoon 1.

[NoZoner]

Lorens watches Walter weave into the buildings.

"Well, I guess we're gonna be doing this the hard way after all!" The A-10 follows in after the Shikra.

[Badger]

Walter punches forward to get the AA to track him and drops the UGB onto the side of the reactor building to create an opening.

"Here's your chance, get in there if you can."

Walt pulls up away from the reactor and goes out over the building anticipating missile locks

[Operator¹]

Ellie sees the two Typhoons descending on the Widow.

He fires two more AAMs at Typhoon 1.

"Wow, thanks squad leader."

Ellie fires two AAMs at Typhoon 4 and punches the throttle to keep them from getting a cannon shot lined up.

"This is Mjolnir 1-6, I'm going to need some help here. [You really should have taken that offer]."

[Qwepir]

seriously where the hell is zombi

like if something comes up and you can't participate, that's totally fine, just please let me know so the other people arent shafted when i create an encounter with NPCs that is accounting for a player who isn't actually there
oh well, that's what npcs are for even if it is a very less-than-optimal solution

The anti-air guns lay into you with a hail of cannonfire (and a lot of bad and mediocre rolls, jesus), but once again the Shikra soaks it up without complaining. The armored roosterpit module holds up surprisingly well to the incoming shells, which is to say none of them manage to break through, but it is unlikely to be able to withstand any more punishment. The bomb drops right into the side wall, blasting it in and revealing the fragile gubbins within to the outside world.

Fortunately, most of the SAMs around the outer rim were knocked out by you or your allies, but three separate launchers closer inwards acquire a lock and fire as you pitch upwards and grab some sky.

Lorens watches Walter weave into the buildings.

You also manage to set up your run down the same path as Walt, but not without leaving a souvenir behind. The SPAAGs are still shooting at Walt even after he flies away, leaving nothing between you and the exposed reactor.

One of the missiles hits the typhoon, and it starts climbing to get away. Its two partners that weren't chasing Ellie are now diving at you instead, one of them launching a pair of heatseekers.

Ellie sees the two Typhoons descending on the Widow.
"Wow, thanks squad leader."
Ellie fires two AAMs at Typhoon 4 and punches the throttle to keep them from getting a cannon shot lined up.

: Understood. Virvel, get in there.
: Oh, yes! I'm on my way, "Skyguy", just try not to get killed!
