Graf drops another flare and evades, looking for any seemingly obvious weak points on the Intrepidus.

"Alright," Lorens responds to Walter, "I'm gonna see if I can soften up the target from here. With any luck, those VLS tubes are going to be out of commission by the time we're in range."

Feeling a little more confident with his aerial gunnery, Lorens brings the Gauss cannon's CCIP reticle to bear over the broad side of the Vigilant. He trims the aircraft to steady his aim.

Aim small, miss small... The pipper is slowly dragged towards the aft of the ship, to where he approximates the launch tubes are. He slowly depresses the trigger...

Jaakko fires the MMS at the Nostferatu to put it on the defensive. He checks the radar briefly, and is alarmed with the Kintharian's status.

"Strike group, the Kintharians have lost nearly two-thirds of their forces. You are out of time!"

One of the Kintharians starts speaking over the squad comms, a deep-voiced fellow with an accent thicker than Nagato's and more gravel in his throat than Pansar.
: We are not staying another second! We've sent our drones out to buy us time. You must leave before the Goths destroy them, or they will kill you all.

Jaakko drops two flares, evading and firing on the Nostferatu with his last AAM.

"You heard him! We have to go! Strike team, disengage!" He orders, straining as he evades.

The battle was beginning to feel as dire as Tocatlan.

"Firing Plasma."

Walter finishes aiming and fires once into the destroyers midsection.

"The VLS is destroyed! Walt, I'm going after the engine!"

Lorens quickly swings the coil gun reticle over the aft section of the ship and pulls the trigger. Working as fast as he can, he shrugs off the Gauss Cannon's immense recoil and sets straight away to recharging the capacitors. Another sabot is loaded into the chamber, and Lorens fires once more at the same target.

"Graf here. Attacking leviation plate."

Graf fires 6 rockets from the left R20 pod (the one with the lesser amount of rocket) and 7 rockets from the right R20 pod (the one with the 1 extra rocket) at the LAMs to distract them and wipe them out if some get through then follows up with an AGM at the leviation plate he lined up against.
