ABS FIESTA REDUX

[NoZoner]

Ash looks to his left in time to see the laser scorch the Wyvern's port wing.

"Bitch!" He accelerates back to the aft of the carrier where he pulls up into a half loop. The Wyvern rolls upright to complete an Immelmann turn, in position to make another attack. "Blackeye, in hot!" Ash pitches the aircraft back dow, puts the gun cross on the twin PPC turret and fires his own.

[Ad Bot]

[Badger]

Walter waits a moment before coming back on the comms with heavy breaths

"I can't- I mean I can-" He laughs hysterically out of disbelief and the pain not sure what else to do "I can feel my legs." Walter doesn't clue in for the moment to communicate fully what's happened, too distracted to relay what has fully happened to his legs.

He continues to drop countermeasures until he reaches the safety of the jamming signal.

[Operator¹]

: Walt, return to the carrier as soon as you leave the combat zone.

[Qwepir]

: Have all of the Culexes rendezvous with Aero and Letterman, we'll have the drones launch their missiles so that the AGMs have a chance to get through on the next attack run.

The drones are currently about to exit the Volk Street passage, as they were instructed to scout it out a while ago.

Faw mutters under his breath "stuff. That can't be good," as he hears Walt screaming over comms.

Faw exits cloak and launches a salvo of heavy rockets at the port side missile silos. After launching his rockets, he hops on comms.

Everyone still hanging around the carrier gets an unhealthy dose of lasers and a few of you pick up SAMs as well.

[ZombiLoin]

Faw dumps three chaff and enters evasive manouvers.

"We still need to kill the last PPC turret and finish off those vertical missile silos. Would appreciate a little help here."

[NoZoner]

"Oh, there's the mud spike! Blackeye, defending SAM!"

A plume of chaff glitters in the wake of the Wyvern as it crosses over the carrier in a high-G turn. Ash rolls out facing Volk street.

[CypherX]

Gus continues to disengage, looking to take a route back towards the carrier.

[Operator¹]

: Culex-F and G, launch a Self Delete attack on the undamaged HPPC turret, crash into it if you have to. Culex-I, crash into the damaged turret.

The operators exchange looks of confusion as they begin steering their drones towards the turrets.
: ...Uh, ma'am? You sure about this? These things don't exactly have a lot of mass, against an armored target all we're really gonna do is dent 'em.

Aero pops chaff and turns towards Volk street as well.

The beams strike again, and Tippy and Letterman pick up a pair of SAMs each.

[ZombiLoin]

Faw feels the laser beam rake across the fuselage of his craft.

"forget! God damn beam arrays!"

Faw dumps 3 chaff, 3 flares, and hits the cloak. He starts to egress away from the carrier.

"I'm retreating, the hull of this thing is going to fall apart, and knowing Mjolnir's track record with this thing, we might not get another."

[Operator¹]

Bell shrugs and looks at her console again.

: Alright, just finish off those turrets with the drones' AAMs so we can get out of here. Activate the guidance scrambler to cover Letterman and Tippy.

[NoZoner]

"Gladiator is egressing. I think that just leaves you and me, Colonel."

Ash takes the Wyvern through another Immelmann and puts the pipper on the last vertical launch silo on the starboard side. He pulls the trigger and sends a particle projectile to the target.

This happens.

As the all-aspects were designed to seek heat sources, their accuracy engaging the turrets leaves much to be desired. Only one of the two turrets is finished off.

i dont really know what to put here, its honestly a loving miracle he didnt just explode

[Operator¹]

: Activate the scrambler again.

[NoZoner]

Ash's lack of ground attack experience becomes apparent as the Wyvern is suddenly skewered with a host of directed energy beams. The radar warning receiver sirens the coming of another set of SAMs.

"[forget!]"

Ash drops his remaining chaff and brings the Wyvern back around towards Volk street in a high-G turn. For the last stretch before the roadway, he goes into guns defense to evade any additional DEW attacks.
