Lorens finds he's still being lit by enemy radar. "Bah, forget it!" In a fit of frustration he turns back around, inverts his craft, releases a chaff packet and pulls into a split-S, coming out of the maneuver a little less than a hundred feet above the ground, but with the northernmost infantry unit on his nose.
"Snowman, rockets out, danger close!" He pulls the rocket pipper over the center of the group and releases a flurry of rockets from both pods, once more making a pass over the advancing groups, ending with the mechanized infantry unit to the southwest.

Result: 6 hitsLorens dodges the gimped RGM and scores several good hits, despite the snap-fired attack run, taking out the last two power armor suits and one of the IFVs.
Walter exits his run feeling unsatisfied and passes by Lorens, placing a packet of chaff to cover him.
"Take care of Golf for me, I need to go assist Charlie before it's overrun." Walter quickly swaps over to speak with the ground forces
"Charlie sector, status report - you have 30mm on standby."
: The LT's dead, Sarge is dead, everyone's
dead! I- I don't know! I don't know what to do!
You hear a particularly close explosion over the radio.
: Wait! Stop! Don't shoot, we surrender!
The transmission ends abruptly.
"I'll try to dispatch the infantry in Delta sector, but I don't have any anti-tank munitions."
Ellie sets up a gun run on Delta.
: Thanks for the support, we really need the- Oh, forget,
GRENA-"forget!"
Yui, recognizing that she forgeted up, decides "forget it" and drops her GBUs on the northern set of power armor and the Defender.
Defender LAMS rolls to intercept missiles:
GBU 1: 35 - successThe Defender shoots down the bomb before it reaches it, but the power armor squad loses 4 of the suits.
: Need a hand over there, Hawk?
Gus levels out and continues the search for the remaining stealth aircraft.
Stealth aircraft will be visible next turn. The few planes in the current formation that haven't fired yet launch their radar-guided payloads, and Xiaomei comes on the radio to give an update on the incoming airship.
: Raiden to Aesthian aircraft, we've made contact with the destroyer but we don't have the armaments to take it down before it arrives. We'll try to take out a few of its guns, but it'll be on top of you soon.
: Thanks for the warning, Raiden. Mjolnir, Djuriskas, I hate to say it but we're out of Torcreepes and can't engage the destroyer with you. We're going to have to fall back until it's been dealt with. Think you'll be able to pick up the slack on our fire missions in the meantime?
Typhoon-2 begins leaving formation and turning back.
: Let him go, Eremit. Switch to my target and fire.
