Bell figures that she doesn't need to tell Caesar or Blackeye to evade by deploying two flares and taking evasive maneuvers.

: This seems like a distraction, even with this drone swarm and the Hyperions.

"Well if our communications start getting jammed by heavy metal again we'll know what's up."

Walter targets Musca-20 and fires a vortex missile, along with a JSM

" Vortex out, If you've got the moment lock Musca-20."

Everybody above gets a few more drone kills under their belt. (Those of you keeping track at home, what's wrong with you?)
Your attacks have no effect. Can't say the information wasn't there.

Mjolnir does a fair job thinning out the drone swarm, but when the smoke clears there remain more than enough drones to ruin your day. Missiles and lasers fill the air as the machines fire their opening salvo.

Almost everyone picks up some missiles. Crash picks up 3 HSMs and an AAM; Tippy 3 AAMs; Gus, 2 AAM and 3 HSM; Snowman, 2 of each; and Caesar and Blackeye each with 3 HSMs.

Drones in gun range of Crash, Tippy, Tempest, and Snowman in 2 turns. Walter and Scorch are now in missile range, and Gladiator and Aero will be next turn.
Hyperions are currently at radar range, and will be in missile range next turn.


Gus fires off his last HSM at Culex-3, dropping two flares just to be sure.

Jaakko is greatly annoyed by the crack of an impact against his aircraft, as well as the missile warning deafening him. He drops 3 strings of flares, and fires another AAM at Vespid-9.

"..."
Markus fires two HSMs each at the same drones.

Faw watches the friendly indicators on his HUD light up several times.

"Multiple missiles coming at us, popping scramblers now."

Faw activates the G-SCRAM and hopes for the best.

The Raven screams its missile approach warning tone, imploring the pilot to act out of self-preservation. Lorens heeds its call and prepares to fight for his life.

"Gah, forget! That's four inbound on me! Copy on active scramble, Snowman defending!"

Remembering how stuffty the interceptor's IR signature is, Lorens quickly drops the power and dives, careful not to show the Raven's rear or underside. He releases two of his own flare packets in the event that the scrambler lets a missile through.

Tippy pops 2 flares and evades

Walter Locks Musca-12 and fires his remaining VTM

"Vortex fired on Musca-12, lock on if you're able."

: Aero, Blackeye, target Musca-12 to provide targeting data, Caesar, you better jink left and deploy two salvos of flares.

Bell takes a moment to reflect on the large amount of drones again.

: What happened after Taiton? I've never seen so many drones..

Gus fires all four guns at Vespid-11.

"Alright, Snowman, extending back to range!"

Lorens pulls back up and turns around, using the speed he built up from diving to ascend back to altitude. He pushes the power quad over the afterburner threshold, torching his exhaust stream for maximum thrust. Flying faster than he's ever flown before, he runs back to where he can use his munitions most effectively.

Tippy goes for Phobos with 1 RGM

Jaakko hears another crack against his roosterpit reverses course. He fires his last two AAMs onto Culex 40 and 42.

"I would not advise closing in to gun range with a swarm of twenty-five culex!"

He firewalls the throttle, wanting to create some time and distance between the drone swarm for more drones to fall.

He curses himself, he should have realized.
