ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Operator¹]

Ellie fires four heat-seeking missiles at the front turret.

[NoZoner]

Lorens thinks about his dream. Feeling wretched, he gratingly pushes the power lever forward, trying to banish the thought for the sake of the mission. The annular combustor spews fuel into the exhaust channel, catching fire and forming the signature afterburner plume.

"... This is Snowman, moving to attack the target," he announces. He heads for the rear of the interdictor.

[CypherX]

Gus makes his way through the barracks, looking for Rikard. The stitches pain him, if not overly so, and he realizes that even in a t-shirt and slacks he looks very out of place amongst the base personnel.

[Qwepir]

Despite the relative warmth of the roosterpit, Yui's blood turns to ice. For a split second, she flashes back to the gas station, and pulling the trigger there.
"...oh Ark. Oh Ark, oh Ark, oh Ark."
What have I done?!
Yui tries to calm herself, and takes aim and fires a P3 shot at the rear of the ship, between the engines and the conning tower, then tries to reposition to get a better shot at the side.
"Mjolnir, we have to stop this thing. We cannot afford to lose the Pertinax."

i will wait two turns to get behind this thing if i have to

Faw plugs into the radio.

"COMRO, can I get a full loadout of AGMs?"

You will resupply in one turn.

You begin making your way towards the sub.

: I'll see if I can take out some of those point defense turrets. Yamato, keep an eye on the sky, make sure we aren't about to get ambushed.

6 turns until boom

[Gojira]

Yui takes evasive action, dropping chaff, and retaliates with the rest of her AAMs at the bridge.

[Badger]

Walter looks up at the sky sub, question unanswered and decides to close his roosterpit off.

[Gojira]

nvm

Ellie opens fire on the front starboard point defense emplacement with two seekers, she then launches another two at the other point defense turret.

Thanks to Xiaomei bungling her shot, all four all-aspects are shot down.

Ellie opens fire on the front starboard point defense emplacement with two seekers, she then launches another two at the other point defense turret.

Preoccupied with destroying Yui's salvo, all four of your missiles reach their targets.

Walter looks up at the sky sub, question unanswered and decides to close his roosterpit off.

The fire crews shout at you, asking what you're doing (not that you can hear them).

Now in gun range, 5 turns until full-power detonation.

[Gojira]

"forget."
Yui takes aim and fires the P3 at the bridge of the ship.

[Operator¹]

Ellie fires four AGMs into the starboard intake, figuring that it would still do damage to the hull anyway.

"I'm out of missiles, but I'll maintain course since I could probably hit something on a pass from the front."

She sets up a run on the bridge.

"But I hope you guys take out the rest of the point defense turrets by then."

[Badger]

Walter starts to motion forward with his hand and then points at the skysub behind the fire crews.

He turns the engines back on, keeping power and fuel cut from the starboard 

[ZombiLoin]

"Going for the bridge."

Faw fires 4 AGMs right at the bridge.

You narrowly miss the bridge. The rear SAM fires on you again.

"I'm out of missiles, but I'll maintain course since I could probably hit something on a pass from the front."

She sets up a run on the bridge.

"But I hope you guys take out the rest of the point defense turrets by then."

The sub lurches and lists to one side as the intake is destroyed, but maintains its general heading, although velocity has been reduced somewhat and it is now drifting slowly to the right.

"Going for the bridge."

Faw fires 4 AGMs right at the bridge.

LAMS P2 rolls to intercept missiles:
AGM 1: 46 - success
AGM 2: 8 - success

LAMS S2 rolls to intercept missiles:

Though three of the missiles are shot down by the remaining two PD turrets, one is all it takes to blow the bridge away, destroying the ship controls. It is now completely locked in on its current heading.
: Oh, man, it's not stopping!
: Hit it in the underside, that's where these things generate lift!
: You want them to fly under it, and then make it fall?
: [If they're too slow to get out of the way, they deserve to be flattened.]

4 turns until the sub reaches the base.

[Gojira]

Yui considers responding to Xiaomei, but decides against it. Instead, she swears as she pulls up to evade the missile.
"Gladiator, get under it and take out the lifts."
