"I'm not looking to take off, I want to move this aircraft  promptly out of the general path of that skysub."

Walter check his temperature gauges and other panels for signs of trouble

[ZombiLoin]

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."

"Affirmative."

Faw turns his aircraft to the right and enters a rolling scissors, firing 4 AGMs at the underbelly of the airship when he flies underneath it. He hits the turbochargers and zooms out from underneath the ship in order to avoid getting hit by falling debris or shrapnel.

[NoZoner]

The F-16XL follows in after the Tukreb. Lorens locks onto the underside of the interdictor and fires his last three heatseekers before swerving to the side.

[ZombiLoin]

Faw clicks into the radio.

"I'd suggest you get resupplied at the COMRO with AGMs. We're going to need everything in order to crash this ship."

Corsair base EV 75
Experience provides bonus of 2
Imperial SAM provides penalty of 40
Test taken at 37
Roll: 55 - failure
Test failed
The SAM tracks you through your maneuver and hits dead center, dooming the corsair to a crash within the next thirty seconds.

"Affirmative."
Faw turns his aircraft to the right and enters a rolling scissors, firing 4 AGMs at the underbelly of the airship when he flies underneath it. He hits the turbochargers and zooms out from underneath the ship in order to avoid getting hit by falling debris or shrapnel.

You hit the turbo and veer to the right to avoid crashing into the airship as it begins losing altitude much quicker.

The F-16XL follows in after the Tukreb. Lorens locks onto the underside of the interdictor and fires his last three heatseekers before swerving to the side.

Lorens' addition to Faw's attack seals its fate. The damage to the propulsion engine and lifting plates is too much to endure, and, while not in total freefall, the sub begins dropping enough that it will come up short of the base.

There's big trouble. Namely, that one of your engines is completely forgeted.

[Gojira]

"forget! I'm hit hard, the Corsair won't make it! Punching out!"
Yui panics for a moment, searching for the ejection lever, finds it, and ejects. Once on the ground, she makes a very deliberate effort to avoid the escape pods.

[Operator¹]

Ellie sees the chute and radios it in to the base.

"Mjolnir lead got shot down, can you guys dispatch search and rescue?"

[NoZoner]

Lorens steeply banks the Falcon and turns into the interdictor's main exhaust nozzle. He takes a deep breath and fires his last two AAMs at the engine.

"Short Fox 2 ripple on the Interdictor," he calls out a little less strongly.

[ZombiLoin]

"There she goes. The Interdictor should be finished now. Hawkeye went down, but it looks like Yui ejected successfully."

Faw fires his last remaining two AGMs at the starboard hull of the airship before pulling away.

[Qwepir]

"forget! I'm hit hard, the Corsair won't make it! Punching out!"
Yui panics for a moment, searching for the ejection lever, finds it, and ejects.

As the sub draws nearer and is about to fly/fall under you, you notice the two LAMS near the back tracking your descent.

: Affirmative.

Lorens steeply banks the Falcon and turns into the interdictor's main exhaust nozzle. He takes a deep breath and fires his last two AAMs at the engine.
"Short Fox 2 ripple on the Interdictor," he calls out a little less strongly.

"There she goes. The Interdictor should be finished now. Hawkeye went down, but it looks like Yui ejected successfully."
Faw fires his last remaining two AGMs at the starboard hull of the airship before pulling away.

The AAMs do yet more damage to the engine, but do not destroy it, and the AGMs don't do much other than blow open the side. The sub fires one last defiant SAM at Snowman.

[Badger]

Walter looks to see the skysub falling earlier than anticipated and cuts his engines

[Gojira]

Yui spots the LAMS tracking her and immediately tries to retrieve her radio from the pack, then realizes it's completely hopeless. She considers drawing her pistol and going out on her own terms, then decides that's pointless as well, as lasers travel much, much faster than bullets, and she deserves to pay something for the crimes she committed. She sighs and accepts her fate, tears streaming down her face. Every single mission she's flown, and every single person she's known and lost and cared about flashes through her mind. She starts thinking about home, and how much she'd really, really like to be there right now.

[ZombiLoin]

Faw notices the SAM missile streaking towards Lorens.

"Looks like she still had one left in her, huh."

Faw buzzes Lorens and pops two chaff in order to help him evade the missile.

[Operator¹]

Ellie adjusts her earlier run to take an aimed cannon shot at the starboard LAMS emplacement and does a pass from bow to stern.
