ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Badger]

Walter dives into the streets.

[Ad Bot]

[Deoxys And One Noob]

Damn, that was a close one.

Graf takes his plane to above the roofs, but not too high.

[Operator¹]

Ellie checks the grouping of the drones and locks onto Imperial Culex-1 and Culex-2.

[NoZoner]

"Well, here goes! Snowman, defending!"

The Shiva drops down and flies right over the city, sprinkling two chaff packets over the rooftops.

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko falls alongside Ellie. He checks range to the destroyers and culex group.

"If you're not gonna use that burst missile, then I'm going to use a vortex on them. Gus, bring your Culex up.  Ellie and I will do what we can but I'd prefer that we pass this group and get everyone to move on to the destroyers before the Kintharians are massacred,"

[CypherX]

"Copy. I'm keeping four back in case of other trouble."

Gus orders Culexes A through E to break off and screen for the squadron. The operators are free to pick targets and engage as soon as they close to range, provided no further orders from Crash.

[Qwepir]

Walt takes the Skepna between the buildings and clips his dorsal side on a skybridge, stripping the ablative armor and dealing moderate damage. Anyone watching Walt's ordeal sees the cruiser's missile slam into a skyscraper several blocks away and blow out several floors. Due to the damage taken, you immediately pull back up above roof level to see Culexes 3 and 6 diving to finish you off.

Damn, that was a close one.

Graf takes his plane to above the roofs, but not too high.

You emerge from the skyline intact.

The chaff does the trick and the missiles dive into the buildings instead.

"Copy. I'm keeping four back in case of other trouble."

Gus orders Culexes A through E to break off and screen for the squadron. The operators are free to pick targets and engage as soon as they close to range, provided no further orders from Crash.

The Condottiero's drones maneuver to confront the incoming squadron of hostiles, and will be in range in two turns (the same time it will take for everyone else to reach them, at the current rate).

With no valid targets available, the Destroyers' weapons remain silent this turn.

[Badger]

Walter deploys a chaff packet and flare packet and aims on culex 3

[CypherX]

The Condottiero pops chaff, its drone controllers preparing to engage.

[Deoxys And One Noob]

Graf decides to reaim his sights on the Excelsior's VLS platform, at the same time keeping an eye on the Culex drones.

[Operator¹]

Ellie prepares to engage the drones and moves the Wyvern between the buildings.

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko orients himself to attack the incoming drones.

"Ellie, I'm gonna hit them with a Vortex," Jaakko reports.

[Operator¹]

Ellie continues on course. "Alright, I'll save my ammo for their escorts."

[NoZoner]

Hope those missiles didn't fall on anyone on our side. Lorens ascends from the city rooftops to an intermediate height between the ground and the sky destroyers. He readies the coilgun, taking note of how quickly the Shiva's generators charge the weapon's capacitor bank.

[Gojira]

Yui climbs up above building height.
