"Strike group, Kobalt Lead, what is your status?"

Ash's heart rate jumps as he immediately ducks into the closest alleyway.

"Don't shoot! Don't shoot!," He cries out.

"Strike group, Kobalt Lead, what is your status?"
: We are mopping up the last of the Aesthians now. Tornados from Brunaz, Grao, and Gelorauth are ready to attack.

Ash's heart rate jumps as he immediately ducks into the closest alleyway.
"Don't shoot! Don't shoot!," He cries out.
Another six shots snap past the opening to the alleyway you're hiding out in, giving way to hurried footsteps. A soldier, too backlit by the lantern for you to discern anything more than his silhouette, cautiously rounds the corner, scanning the alley with his rifle readied. His sights quickly settle on you, and he freezes.

Sweat pours down Ash's temples. Without making any sudden movements, he puts his hands above his head.

"Don't shoot! I'm not a combatant!"

He strains his eyes to try to identify which side the soldier is on.

"Copy. Kobalt, we're going to finish off the Erovring and join the Tornados to finish this,"

Jaakko turns back towards the formation.

Walt realizes that Virvel probably won't be affected by the whole 'but think of all the people you could save by risking your life' spiel and instead goes for something a little more suited to her. "You really want to pass up a chance to close the gap between our killcounts?"
Walt is met with silence. Unclear whether it's out of contemplation or irritation.

"Copy. Kobalt, we're going to finish off the Erovring and join the Tornados to finish this,"
Jaakko turns back towards the formation.

Now back in missile range of the Erovring.

Sweat pours down Ash's temples. Without making any sudden movements, he puts his hands above his head.
"Don't shoot! I'm not a combatant!"
He looks at the soldier pointing the gun and tries to figure out which side he's on.
The soldier carefully backs away into the light, keeping his gun pointed at you- a gun you are able to identify based on the wood construction and short magazine as being an old semi-automatic. Probably even older than your father, and definitely older than the person holding it. The soldier's uniform is unrecognizable to you; a bulky looking brown flak jacket over grey fatigues, with a positively archaic metal helmet and bevor to protect the head and neck. On a strap across their shoulder is a radio set not unlike what you'd see on a street cop.
: Put your hands behind your head, and stand slowly up.

The words come out quietly, and in an accent thicker than nutrient paste.

"Thanks, Xiaomei!"
Scorch tries to get on the tail of the last Corsair.

Ajka sighs in relief as the number of enemy bandits in her vicinity drops down to one. She lets her remaining guns cool off and decides to check in on the status of the other fighter maniples.

"Command, what's the status of the other friendly fighters in our sector?"

Ellie fires off an LCB shot at the Corsair.



: Crash, get some rockets on that point defense system, Snowman, get your missiles off on that engine block.

Bell fires two AGMs at the starboard engine block and a KSM sabot in the airship's general direction.

"Roger that. Snowman, attacking target."

Lorens slaves the targeting pod to the Erovring's starboard engine bank. He drags the rocket CCIP reticle over SPI and fires a rocket barrage from only two of his rocket pods before loosing a single AGM in the wake of the boosters.



Ash does as he is told. Noting the soldier's accent, he decides to stay quiet for the time being.

Ash does as he is told. Noting the soldier's accent, he decides to stay quiet for the time being.
He takes another step back and takes his right hand off his rifle to use the radio.
: [Uh, I have an Aesthian pilot here, I think. What... what am I supposed to do with him? ...Uh, over.]

As the response begins to crackle through the radio, you start to hear voices from down the alleyway you came through.
: There! I think we can cut across!

The guy in front of you doesn't seem to have heard them, focusing on the voice coming out of the radio instead.

: Walt, I'm heading over to you now.
Bell breaks off to seed a packet of chaff for Walt.



Ellie holds off to see if Scorch is able to take down the remaining Corsair.

Scorch aims and fires his LCP at the Corsair.
