Bell continues her course and prepares to enter the tower, hopefully threading the needle with the Superflanker.

The Shiva enters formation alongside Jaakko's Tukreb. Lorens looks upon Bell's Terminator as she faces the harrowing task of flying into the tower and destroying it from the inside out.

You coax the Terminator through the tattered opening and pitch upwards, flying directly up through the tower's barrel. With the beam direction subsystems in the way, you are going to have to make your own exit, and make it fast. You only have one turn to make it count.

Enemy reinforcements will be in missile range in Three turns.

Bell fires everything she has at the focusing array ahead, LCB, rockets, and even that lone seeker she has left.

"Try and stay in cover Gladiator i'm coming to pick you up!"

Tippy directs her path to her squadmate

Faw unbuckles himself from the pilot's harness and starts to trek towards the building, observing his surroundings as he crouches and crawls towards the structure. He clicks on the comms.

"I appreciate the offer, Tippy, but don't risk it. You've got one in your co-pilot seat, and we've almost finished this fight. Just get yourself home in one piece."

"Tippy, leave Faw! We don't have time!"

Jaakko nervously looks between Tippy's craft, Palisade, and the approaching flight group.

Palisade Phase 2

Everything, even the dumbfired heatseeker, hits the fragile machinery at the top, though the beam laser was of dubious effectiveness. Those viewing from outside witness a thin red beam shooting straight up, followed by a series of minor explosions capped off by one final detonation that sends bits and pieces of the tower's internals sky high. Bell's plane emerges from the fire, crippled and barely flyable but intact, ascending towards the clear skies directly above Palisade's tower and backlit by the shafts of light shining through the gap in the clouds.
: No loving way.
: Did she do it? Did she make it out?
: Hell yeah she did!

Over the gunfire being exchanged between the Gothic infantry outside and the jet engines, you hear a sign that you've been spotted crawling across open ground.
: [Hey you! Stop right where you are!]

Walter speeds up and begins to disengage from the area.

"Mjolnir 1-5, withdrawing from operation." 

Without hesitation, Faw darts off and starts to sprint towards the building in a dead run.

: [Damned fool!] Stop!

A single warning shot hits the dirt ahead of you.

: stuff, I thought I wouldn't make it out of there. Everyone, let's pull out.

Bell starts making a beeline for the carrier group in her incredibly crippled plane.

Jaakko's heart jumps as Bell exits the gun through a fireball. He is immediately worried that her aircraft will not make it out of the combat zone, but it seems to handle alright for now.

"Let's go, let's go," he repeats anxiously.

Faw continues to dart towards the building, occasionally moving erratically to throw off the enemy's aim.

"Snowman, egressing," Lorens calls out. He intercepts the course leading to the carrier and increases power for maximum dry thrust.
