ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Tayasaurus]

Unfortunately for Jaakko, the enemies most famous baseball team was visiting the Pertinax for promotional reasons, and in their version of baseball its a 30 man team and they all carry bats. Thirty beefy armed young men suddenly overwhelm the room with sheer numbers drowning out all who were in the room in a flurry of clubbing. Kommandant screams as he is dragged into the crowd of a not-so-jolly-sport and Virvel is taken with him. Silence fell upon the command center as Jaakko who was still wimpering on the ground cracks open an eye. 30 tall looming towers of pure muscle glowered angrily down at him as they all brought their bats down simultaneously with enough force to register as an explosion. One floor below the main deck an engineer is startled by the appearance of a human shaped dent in the ceiling.

"Anymore signs of enemy activity?"

[Qwepir]

"Enjoying yourselves? how much damage did those AGM's do"

: Crash is down, he's been shot. There's an Imperial MG right outside the bridge, and whatever those missiles hit, it means we can't surpass 100 knots.

: Negative, you're all clear for now.

"What? Which loving mook shot flight lead? I'll kill the bastard. Is there anywhere on the Pertinax i can land? Is the bleeding bad?"

[Badger]

Walt drops his throttle to get behind the pertinax and report the damage

"You've taken two missiles to the engine, I'm glad the other ones didn't get by."

Walt continues viewing and thinking before throttling ahead again

"Where are the rest of the Marines? Controlling the engine block?"

[Qwepir]

"What? Which loving mook shot flight lead? I'll kill the bastard. Is there anywhere on the Pertinax i can land? Is the bleeding bad?"

He looks at the marine tending to Jaakko's wound and decides to ignore the hysteric barrage of questions, except for the last.
: He'll live.

Walt drops his throttle to get behind the pertinax and report the damage

"You've taken two missiles to the engine, I'm glad the other ones didn't get by."

Walt continues viewing and thinking before throttling ahead again

"Where are the rest of the Marines? Controlling the engine block?"

: We've got three fireteams in the engine room preventing sabotage, another three holding the crew in the mess hall, and the rest are searching the ship to clear out any resistance.

[Badger]

"Let's hope that team makes it back to the bridge soon."

Walt pulls off from flying beside the bridge to look for faw's wreckage and hopefully a flare or distress beacon.

"I'm going to retrieve faw to give SAR a break. Faw if you've been listening try to transmit your location."

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko hears squawking on the radio, a feminine voice. Reaches up to his helmet and pulls it on.

"I'm here," he moans.

He raises the visor so that he can actually see inside the bridge. His split chin makes it uncomfortable to wear the helmet without the wound searing.

Jaakko hears squawking on the radio, a feminine voice. Reaches up to his helmet and pulls it on.
"I'm here," he moans.

"You're going to be gone once I kill you back on base. I can't beleive you let someone shoot you you idiot."

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko thinks just for a moment about what had just happened, and feels how disconnected he is with the events proceeding a few minutes ago, he has no problems not thinking about it, for right now at least.

He pants in pain.

"I- uh," he stutters.

"Sure," he whimpers.

[Tayasaurus]

"...just don't die alright. I've had enough of that already."

[Mr. Hurricane]

"I don't plan on it," he responds.

[Qwepir]

An Aesthian fireteam clears out the machine gunner and secures the bridge, and Jaakko is moved to the ship's (admittedly, rather spartan, and incredibly overworked at this point) medical center to be treated with the other casualties. Just under a half an hour later, the Aesthian battlegroup comes in range and relieves Mjolnir of their escort duties. Mjolnir returns to Valhalla, and the Pertinax is taken to an undisclosed location for inspection.

Jaakko will return to base one day after everyone else.

[Gojira]

Yui watches everyone come in for landing, and notes two aircraft missing - in particular, the Fenrir's gone, and Faw's F-35 is gone as well. She waits outside the hangars.

[Badger]

Walt touches down and taxis the Shikra into the hanger

"That beats sitting on a lonely mountain for a day doesn't it?" (zombi probably won't reply anyways)

After hopping out of the roosterpit Walt reports the damage to the techs then heads off to the requisitions office, stopping to talk to Yui first.

[Gojira]

"How'd it go? Also, where's Crash? I noticed he didn't touch down."
