Scorch does the same as Ajka, firing the EML then LCP at Nectar-3 and dropping two strings of flares before evading.

Walt watches his former target go down as its wing comes off. "Alright then; lining up on the Tyazhelamek." He aims his guns in its direction.

"stuff, I'll stall them."

Ellie drops back and dumps two HSMs each on Musket 2-1 and 2-2.



: [This is Kobalt flight, we'll take the Tyazhelamek].

Bell starts lining up a shot on the starboard engine block.

Lorens blinks as his eyes readjust to the night sky from the fusion explosion.

"... Attacking next target," The targeting pod latches onto the Tyazhelamek's starboard engine, and Lorens releases another two air-to-ground missiles. "Rifle ripple on the cruiser!"

Jaakko fires another four JSMs onto Loren’s target.

Lorens blinks as his eyes readjust to the night sky from the fusion explosion.

"... Attacking next target," The targeting pod latches onto the Tyazhelamek's starboard engine, and Lorens releases another two air-to-ground missiles. "Rifle ripple on the cruiser!"

The missiles strike against the engine's armor, but you don't get a repeat of your last result.

Walt watches his former target go down as its wing comes off. "Alright then; lining up on the Tyazhelamek." He aims his guns in its direction.
"This is Kobalt flight, we'll take the Tyazhelamek."
Bell starts lining up a shot on the starboard engine block.
Several missiles fly overhead as the Imperial planes make their attack against the airship, most being shot down by the airship's defenses.

Ajka takes a few nasty hits, and her instruments begin beeping angrily at her.

Yamashiro and Xiaomei finish off Musket-1, and Nectar-3 fires a HARM at Scorch.



Aesthian Airships will reach their target in 8 turns.

Walt fires plasma at the Tyazhelamek, then keeps his guns aimed at it to line up another shot.

Ajka grimaces, jerking back and forth as shell fire rakes the fuselage of her airframe, cracking the canopy and sending the heads up display into a frenzy of structural warnings and situational reports. She attempts to steady what's left of her plane, barely keeping the fighter in flight.

She relays her situation over the radio in between pitched breaths. "I'm heavily damaged, airframe is barely staying afloat. I don't think I'll last much longer."

Ajka gently pulls back on the stick and orients herself towards Nectar-3, firing her guns after she lines up a solution on the MiG.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

"This is Scorch, incoming on me. Stay clear."

Scorch ignores the piercing beeps of the RWR. No point in worrying about it now, he figures, calmly noting the rapidly approaching flare of a HARM's exhaust.

His life flashes before his eyes. The slums, the Viertan Youth Corps, moving to Aesthia, university. Then, training, the beginning of the war, his assignment to Mjolnir. His wingmen, his friends. Crash, Tippy, Yui, Tempest, Walt, Faw, Bell, Ash, Lorens, Gaffe, and Ellie. The times he shared with them. The collapse of Mjolnir, his sheer terror, the taste of home he shared with Lorens. Saving the kid, killing Tempest, and becoming a propaganda piece for a nation he held little loyalty to. He thinks about the things he's never done, the things he's never going to get to do. How he's never going to see home again.

I tried to make it back alive, Ellie. I'm sorry.

An overwhelming sense of calm and clarity fills Scorch's mind. He realizes he has a decision to make, and fast.
A split second later, he makes his decision. He rapidly locks on to Musket 2-2 and Nectar-4 before firing two AAMs at each.

I'll try and make sure you all make it back instead.

"It was a pleasure, folks. See you on the other side."

He takes a deep breath, closes his eyes, and accepts his fate.

"Grao, Brunaz, put some fire on Tyazhelamek!"

Jaakko aims and fires his EML at the defensive emplacements in an attempt to put them offline.

"stuff! Snowman, attacking again!"

Lorens mashes the OSB for the R-20 pods and puts the reticle over the Tyazhelamek's starboard engine banks. He thumbs the munitions release button and fires rockets from two of the pods and immediately follows up with two AGMs. "Weapons out!"

Ellie sees a missile go for Scorch's Typhoon. After seeing him fire off missiles instead of bailing out, she mutters a curse to herself before bringing her focus back onto the fight.

"..Roger that, Scorch."

She gets a lock on the remaining Flanker from Musket and fires off three HSMs while sending off another towards one of the Foxbats.



Bell fires her aimed KSM round towards the Tyazhelamek's starboard engine block and breaks off to evade.




Walt fires plasma at the Tyazhelamek, then keeps his guns aimed at it to line up another shot.

Walt goes for the throat, vaporizing the cruiser's roosterpit.

"stuff! Snowman, attacking again!"

Lorens mashes the OSB for the R-20 pods and puts the reticle over the Tyazhelamek's starboard engine banks. He thumbs the munitions release button and fires rockets from two of the pods and immediately follows up with two AGMs. "Weapons out!"

The rockets fail to impact the airship, but they do eat up the point defense fire, allowing your real damage dealers through. Two gaping holes are blasted in the engine's center mass, and the thrust nozzles begin to flicker.

Bell fires her aimed KSM round towards the Tyazhelamek's starboard engine block and breaks off to evade.
A plume of white flame erupts from the point of entry as the thrusters go dark.

The Tyazhelamek begins banking and pitching down with nobody at the helm to correct for the loss of power. The dozen missile impacts that follow from the Imperial squadrons don't improve its situation at all, and it can be said with full confidence that the airship won't be reaching its target.



Ajka gently pulls back on the stick and orients herself towards Nectar-3, firing her guns after she lines up a solution on the MiG.

The MiG's pilot is blasted into a million bloody charred gobbets as the hypersonic slug penetrates the enemy plane from canopy to tail.

Scorch doesn't live to see it, but his last missiles destroy both Musket 2-2 and Nectar-4.

Ellie sees a missile go for Scorch's Typhoon. After seeing him fire off missiles instead of bailing out, she mutters a curse to herself before bringing her focus back onto the fight.
"..Roger that, Scorch."
She gets a lock on the remaining Flanker from Musket and fires off three HSMs while sending off another towards one of the Foxbats.
Ellie watches Scorch's plane as it is reduced to a shotgun blast of burning debris, and when she looks back ahead the Flanker is burning to the ground. The MiGs will do.

: Oh gods, they're all dead!

Nectar 8 is leaving the battlefield.


Aesthian Airships will reach their target in 7 turns.

Bell aims at the nearest engine block belonging to the Temnabog.



"Alright, let's finish off this fighter escort."

Ellie fires two HSMs for each fighter remaining in Lancer squadron.

Walt lines up and fires a final parting shot on the Tyazhelamek, just to be safe.
