Walter begins aiming on the cruiser with the Skepna

"Preparing strike on the Kyykhynen."

Walter begins aiming on the cruiser with the Skepna

"Preparing strike on the Kyykhynen."



Ark, I wasn't even close! Lorens exhales into his mask and tries to calm himself down. He places the rocket CCIP just ahead of the Kyykhynen's center of mass and holds it there as he presses the munitions release button. Another volley of rockets comes streaming out of all four pods.

"It's yawing hard! Put it down!"

Jaakko fires another burst of rockets to saturate the PD and breaks to discourage any accurate retaliatory fire.
The point-defense has new priorities in light of the destroyed engines, and smaller projectiles like the rockets are allowed through.
R20 accuracy 40
Experience provides bonus of  4
Huge Target provides bonus of  10
Test taken at 54
Roll: 10 - success

The rockets strike the Kyykhynen near the roosterpit, and would have hit it directly if it weren't for the plasma cannon blocking your shot.

Grao's second volley flies overhead, into the PD guns and defensive missiles.
LAMS P1 rolls to intercept missiles:
AGM 1: 35 - missile destroyed
AGM 2: 1 - missile detroyed
LAMS P3 rolls to intercept missiles:
AGM 4: 53 - missile destroyed
AGM 4: 10 - missile destroyed

Only one missile gets through- its target, the port flak cannon threatening Walter.

LCB accuracy 55
Experience provides bonus of  1
Aim provides bonus of  10
Test taken at 66
Roll: 46 - success

You hit the plane in center mass, and it turns its attention to you.

Markus fires his remaining JSMs at the starboard-side engine block before turning around to move out of gun range, and jinking to make himself difficult to hit.
LAMS S1 rolls to intercept missiles:
JSM 1: 58 - missile destroyed
JSM 2: 31 - missile detroyed
LAMS S2 rolls to intercept missiles:
JSM 3: 53 - missile destroyed
JSM 4: 38 - failure

Firing over the ship at the starboard engine block just means the starboard point defense can get involved, and nearly all the Joint-Strikes are destroyed.

"Preparing strike on the Kyykhynen."
The skies around you get a little bit quieter as Grao destroys the flak cannon.



Ark, I wasn't even close! Lorens exhales into his mask and tries to calm himself down. He places the rocket CCIP just ahead of the Kyykhynen's center of mass and holds it there as he presses the munitions release button. Another volley of rockets comes streaming out of all four pods.
F12 accuracy 45

Huge Target provides bonus of  10
Test taken at 67
Roll: 44 - success

You start off leading by too much, but quickly adjust to the right mid-salvo allowing half of your rockets to still hit the target. A series of explosions rips across the Kyykhynen's upper fuselage, breaching the deck above the wing in several spots, sucking the bodies of injured and dead crew out as it decompresses; and the final few rockets destroy one of the dual-purpose missile launchers.


UAC accuracy 40
Experience provides bonus of  10
Missile Range provides penalty of  20
Test taken at 30
Roll: 16 - success

Silbakr Lead snap-shots a UAC shell at Ellie, returning her damage with interest and providing Virvel with the opening she needs to line up a shot.

LBX accuracy 50

Scorch's engines and fuselage get plugged with airplane-grade buckshot as he turns to flee.

LBX accuracy 50
Test taken at 50
Roll: 38 - success by 2 degrees
Roll: 61 - failure

The Kyykhynen's gunners respond to the mounting damage and erratic targets by simply increasing volume of fire. Crash is clipped in the wing.


: Firing Plasma, watch yourselves.

With that brief announcement out of the way Walter pulls the trigger for the Plasma cannon, wincing as he hopes everything is still in operational order.

Markus feels the Corsair rock from the impact of the beehive rounds. The Corsair's HUD warns Markus of severe structural damage, and the aircraft begins to yaw to the right. Markus pulls the port side lever back to compensate.
"Crash, I can't stay in this fight any longer, I'm egressing."
He continues to move away from the Kyykhynen.

"Got it Scorch. AWACS, Kobalt, we're running out of munitions and several of our aircraft are severely damaged. We can finish the Kyykhynen but we're running out of steam. How is the rest of the attack progressing?"

Jaakko fires his EML at the dorsal LBX and looses another fusillade of rockets.

Ellie starts trying to pull out as well, while Bell lays down some cannon fire on Silbakr lead.

"Snowman, Winchester! Turning South to rearm," Lorens swings the Tornado around and torches the burners. Ash turns to get a bead on Silbakr actual to cover the egressing fighters, swerving to defend from stray anti-aircraft fire.

"Firing Plasma, watch yourselves."

Walter's plasma bolt punches through the portside cannon, then the bridge, then out the other side.

"Got it Scorch. AWACS, Kobalt, we're running out of munitions and several of our aircraft are severely damaged. We can finish the Kyykhynen but we're running out of steam. How is the rest of the attack progressing?"

But Virvel doesn't. Silbakr Lead goes down.

Though Walter's plasma cannon killed the airship already (52 now?), the Imperial planes empty the rest of their ordnance just to make sure. Explosive impacts rip across the hull until the Kyykhynen can no longer maintain structural integrity and the airship breaks apart entirely.

: Good work, Kobalt Maniple, that's one less atomic bomber. Be advised, you are low on munitions, you may want to resupply at an AWACS or at the Indomitus before returning to the field.


"AWACS, Kobalt, returning to the Indomitus,"

Jaakko looks around at who is still in the air.

"AWACS, have you heard anything from Tippy?" he demands, alarmed.

He has an awful sinking feeling in his stomach.

"AWACS, Kobalt, returning to the Indomitus,"

Jaakko looks around at who is still in the air.

"AWACS, have you heard anything from Tippy?" he demands, alarmed.

He has an awful sinking feeling in his stomach.
: We will update you with more information on your squadmate as we receive it. Right now, her status is still unknown.

If they hadn't heard from her now, was there a possibility that she was alive? Nobody had even seen her chute.

"Copy,"

Jaakko no longer wants to deal with the war or all the bullstuff. There is no anger anymore, only sadness. The war, however, still continues and his responsibility on his shoulders prevents him from shutting down. He knows that he owes his squadmates his attention and that slipping could mean the loss of more of his men.

Crash produces the package of amphetamines given to him. He pops another dose out of the packaging and downs them. He beats on his helmet a couple of times and shakes himself out.

Mjolnir sets down on the Indomitus and the deck crew get set refitting the squadron with the usual machine-like efficiency and demeanor as per each pilot's requests. Subsystems are repaired, armor and hull patched up, and weapons swapped out in a matter of minutes as the pilots are granted a small amount of rest. Virvel takes note of the modified Flanker plane being worked on and starts wondering what's up with that.
: Why are they working on that bucket? I hope Frisk isn't flying with us too.

"I don't think he is, last I heard he was sticking to sitting it out in the brig." Walter sighs wearily as he looks around at the other planes being worked on inside the hanger

Markus climbs out of the damaged Corsair, noting the Flanker with Frisk's camouflage pattern and modifications. Cradling his helmet under his arm, he heads over to see what's going on.
