ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Qwepir]

"Repeat? Did you say a destroyer?"

Gus scans the skies for signs of an Imperial airship as well as the Nosferatus.

: Affirmative, one destroyer-class airship approaching at 120 knots.

"Dammit, contact lost with Echo - changing heading to assist another sector. Golf, Requesting current status."

: Mortar crews under fire from light armor units, my squad and the AT crew are pinned down and unable to assist! I got a metric ton of power armor right in front of me, and a hundred tons of tank coming around our right flank!

"Hawkeye, defending two incoming."
Yui drops two packs of chaff and evades, moving over to Jackpot and setting up for a large strafing run across Jackpot.
"Jackpot, what's your status? I'm lining up a strafing run on those forces by you. Danger close."

You get slammed by one of the surface to air missiles.

: Cover's good, and our walkers have engaged some IFVs that were trying to outflank, but we've got a lot of heavy units banging on our front door. I'll tell my men to keep their heads down, but we really need those tanks gone.

Faw approaches Bravo and starts to line up a shot on the infantry unit on the right flank. He clicks on the radio.

"Bravo, I need a sitrep. Where do you need assistance?"

: TD went up in smoke and I just saw a whole squad of Imps pour into the building one of our AT teams was holed up in. We're falling back, but we need these tanks taken out now!
: I got the one on the left. Frisk?
: Following your lead.

"Affirmative, Take cover. 30mm coming in hot on the power armour."

Walter sprays down the power armour group and then follows through dropping his last GBU on the defender

[ZombiLoin]

: TD went up in smoke and I just saw a whole squad of Imps pour into the building one of our AT teams was holed up in. We're falling back, but we need these tanks taken out now!

"Affirmative. Are there any soft targets out in the open currently?"

Faw continues to circle above Charlie, scanning for exposed infantry.

[Gojira]

"Repeat, danger close."
Yui drags the pipper across as many of the hostile icons at Jackpot as she can, from the infantry to the left to the power armor on the right, firing the GAU the whole way, and being careful not to hit allies.

[NoZoner]

"Transfer complete... Disconnect. Good luck out there, Snowman."

"Much obliged, Mammoth 2-1. Mjolnir 7, turning to vector one-nine-zero, ten miles."

The A-10 drops away from the Stratotanker and banks steeply, leveling out along the Svirask VORTAC flight course. The city's skyline slowly comes into view, muddled by the billows of smoke emanating from the wreckage of a sky destroyer. Lorens eventually crosses over the urban center and arrives at the far side's outskirts, where the scars of days' battle become much more apparent.

Battle network information from AWACS appears on the MFD, and the navigation screen is updated with a slew of symbols representing the strengths of each force. A sea of target designator lozenges flood the heads-up display.

"This is Mjolnir 7, arriving on station, turning to initial point Golf!"

[Qwepir]

"Affirmative. Are there any soft targets out in the open currently?"

Faw continues to circle above Charlie, scanning for exposed infantry.

: Negative, negative! Just the damn armor!

[ZombiLoin]

"Affirmative. Going to try and do my best with the tank."

Faw lines up for a run on the medium tank unit and plinks at it with his flak cannon.

[NoZoner]

"Golf forward air control, this is Snowman, single A-10 3nm northeast of IP at 500 AGL, armed with 4 AGM, 2 UGB, 2 R20, targeting pod equipped. Coil gun equipped, capacitors charged. Time on station is 0 plus 60, ready for tasking! What's the situation?"

: Recon trucks still killing our mortar crews, IFVs still pushing our stuff in, and we're still pinned down by the power armor!

Morten and Frisk start maneuvering for another attack run on Bravo.
: Sit tight, we're coming around for another pass on that Defender!

Finally, six Typhoons and a Nosferatu enter radar range.
: About time!
: Mjolnir, Djuriskas, look sharp! There's a few stealth planes accompanying that group. Musashi tagged one of them, but there's three more with it.
: Understood, Raiden. Thanks for the heads up.

[Gojira]

"Coming in for another pass, hang tight!"
Yui brings the Razorback around and lines up for another strafing run.

[ZombiLoin]

: Mjolnir, Djuriskas, look sharp! There's a few stealth planes accompanying that group. Musashi tagged one of them, but there's three more with it.

Faw clicks in over the radio.

"Affirmative. Sorry Bravo, fire support was ineffectual. Enemy are aircraft approaching us, I'm going to try and take out the Nosferatu."

Faw launches 3 RGMs at the tagged Nosferatu.

"Three missiles out."

[Mr. Hurricane]

"Keep an eye out for those Nostferatus, they'll be priority targets. Keep in mind that we are carrying Rapid Lock, you'll be able to get in two locks and fires in the time it takes to make one. If you can't kill the Nostferatus, keep them on their toes so they can't make railgun shots,"

[NoZoner]

"Golf, Snowman, approaching from Northeast for R20 strafe over multiple targets! IN HOT, caution danger close!"

Made aware of the new threat, Lorens' heart races as he descends on the Imperial advance. The decelerons split open. He places the rocket CCIP pipper over the reconnaissance trucks and drags it across the power armor and two infantry units forming the enemy front line. The rocket pod ripple-fires at a reduced rate to maximize burst length and blast radius coverage.

[Badger]

"Welcome to the fight, Snowman. I'm coming around to clean up whats left with my guns."

[CypherX]

Gus continues to climb in an effort to get an angle on the yet unspotted other Nosferatus.
