Jaakko fires on the Wyvern with his RAC and drops two strings of flares to counter the missiles.

"The Wyvern is EM Lanced'! Tippy or Walt, put some fire in to it and let's get free of the furball! I don't want to see it again!

You barely graze the Wyvern, and escape the missiles undamaged.

Markus attempts to chase Tempest back towards friendly forces, taking aim and firing his LCP.
You set your sights on Tempest to see him double back and hose down Weizhskilde-3's chute.
: One plane? Thought I would've provoked more of a response...

Walter evades again this time dropping three chaff packets, not taking chances. After finishing his evasion he attempts to turn and place himself on alpha-6's tail

"Dropping countermeasures, I'll grab this guy while you get those foxbats and we can high-tail it out of here."

: What the- where'd he go!?

You get in behind Alpha-6 while Virvel discharges missiles to throw off the incoming interceptors.

Tippy keeps the Imperial AWACS announcement in mind and decides its time to forget off out of the fight ball. She sets course to leave.
No enemy planes give chase.

"Wait! Nagato, don't take the shot!," Ash shouts urgently, "Those Berkuts are rigged to explode on destruction! If you have to kill, get some distance!"
"Blackeye, egressing South!" The Tukreb continues speeding away from the furball.
Nagato briefly decelerates, discharges two all-aspects, and breaks upwards to avoid the ensuing explosion.
: Thanks for the heads up.



There's not really anything for Ellie to do but to wait for the systems to come back online (or eject, but it's kind of hard to react to supersonic projectiles.)
[SYSTEMS RESTORING: 60%... 80%...]

"Skytracer!"
Seeing his last teammate gravely endangered, Lorens immediately drops his pursuit of Gel-3, turns around and identifies the Tukreb firing on Ellie's Wyvern. In a fit of rage and desperation, Lorens puts the bandit in his gun cross and squeezes the trigger.

You score a direct hit on Crash.

Xiaomei shoots down Draugur-4, and Pluto keeps the Aesthian planes on the defensive with a quartet of All-Aspects as the remaining Imperial planes turn to withdraw.

"...Tempest?"
Markus is unable to do anything but watch as Tempest guns down the helpless child. He takes another half-turn to aim (since he apparently didn't fire last turn) and fires the LCP.
"I see you're following in Yui's footsteps now, gunning down people in parachutes."

Walter aims briefly and then attempts to blow away alpha-6 with all his cannons

Could I come back? I'm not entirely expecting to come back, I'm just wondering.

"...Tempest?"
"I see you're following in Yui's footsteps now, gunning down people in parachutes."
: 'Cept I'm actually trying to. Who the hell are you?

Could I come back? I'm not entirely expecting to come back, I'm just wondering.

"That's none of your concern. You've got bigger issues than that if you're killing people in parachutes, let alone kids."

Jaakko breaks his attack and dives away, lighting the afterburner and trying to get disengaged. He brings his aircraft about just in time to see a chute be run through by tracers.

"AWACS, Draugr-1 just gunned a chute!" he chokes, appalled.

Jaakko knows that the Imperials are waiting for him to break, but is torn that he cannot retaliate. He mashes his teeth, cutting an erratic line out of the furball to keep gun solutions off.

With a seized aileron and engines operating at roughly half their designed efficiency, Ash limps away from the fight. He scans his mirrors and looks over his shoulders to make sure no one is following him.

Lorens remains unaware of his brother's involvement, and continues after the Tukreb responsible for disabling the Wyvern. He brings the target under his gun cross once again and nearly pulls the trigger, but he stops himself after witnessing Tempest gunning down a pilot chute.

"... Tempest? What the forget are you doing?"

Alpha-6 is blasted into flaming chunks.

"AWACS, Draugr-1 just gunned a chute!" he chokes, appalled.
Your response comes through clenched teeth.
: We are aware, auxiliary. Our sensors see more than yours do. Tell your squad to return to the Indomitus at once, your cover barrage has just been launched.

Ellie's Kaneda keeps on your heels like a rabid dog and begins lining up to shoot you in the back.

With a seized aileron and engines operating at roughly half their designed efficiency, Ash limps away from the fight. He scans his mirrors and looks over his shoulders to make sure no one is following him.
A Superflanker appears briefly in your rearviews taking aim, but breaks off and heads back towards its own lines.


Lorens remains unaware of his brother's involvement, and continues after the Tukreb responsible for disabling the Wyvern. He brings the target under his gun cross once again and nearly pulls the trigger, but he stops himself after witnessing Tempest gunning down a pilot chute.
"... Tempest? What the forget are you doing?"
You don't get a reply from him, you just overhear his response to Scorch's intrusion on your channel.

Bell's systems come fully online in time for her to catch the formation-wide alert sent from Command.
: All Aesthian planes, be advised we have detected burst munitions in flight towards the AO! Scatter and withdraw! This raid was turning sour anyway...

".. She's back online, let's get out of here Snowman."

Ellie tests her pitch controls before hitting the turbo again to get out of the combat zone, recalling her combat drone as well.

"You heard the AWACS-,"

The Kaneda appears behind Crash and he begins defending against it.

"Gods- stuff! Someone clear my tail!"

Jaakko attempts to shake the Kaneda, diving to get away from the missile volley.

And the drone peels off, heading the other way.

"Wh- Never mind,"

He levels off and enters a slow climb, having lost a lot of altitude in attempting to get away.

"I'm saying you're forgeted in the head, and a coward."
Venom fills Markus's voice.
"I'm sure Yui didn't mean to blow up that gas station full of people with an air-to-ground missile. I'm sure she didn't mean to do that. Oh wait, you have to target those manually."

Markus punches the burners to get close, then fires his LCP at Tempest, feeling nothing but fury. Fury at Tempest, and at himself for not being able to stop him.

"Skytracer! Thank Ark! Let's get the forget out of here!"

Lorens turns his Flanker back around and puts his engines on reheat.

"I'm saying you're forgeted in the head, and a coward."
Venom fills Markus's voice.
"I'm sure Yui didn't mean to blow up that gas station full of people with an air-to-ground missile. I'm sure she didn't mean to do that. Oh wait, you have to target those manually."

Markus takes aim and fires his LCP again at Tempest.

"Crash, I'm not withdrawing. I can't let this forgeter get away with killing kids."

"You'll get your shot at him later, get the forget over here!"

"I'm saying you're forgeted in the head, and a coward."
Venom fills Markus's voice.
"I'm sure Yui didn't mean to blow up that gas station full of people with-"
: I'm a coward? You ran away from your duty to aid the enemy, pal, while I'm so sure of our cause I had my ejection seat replaced with a bomb. You don't get to spin the narrative like that.
