Ellie breathes a sigh of relief as she hits her target and sees the cruisers going down.

"Captain, should we head for the carriers?"

Ajka's muscles slightly loosen after watching the bomber begin it's doomed descent to the ground.

"Thanks for the assist. And yes, we should head for the carriers."

She vectors her crippled airframe towards the remaining airships and starts to cruise towards them.

"Snowman, Winchester," Lorens exhales into his mask, "Approaching Blixtkrieg for a run."

Praying to the Ark mother his guns will do something, he places the CCIP over the Blixtkrieg's starboard intake and slowly pulls the trigger.

"Guns!"

"Targeting Vaktare." Walt aims, then fires everything but his plasma at his fresh target.

No contact.

Jaakko struggles to find a location on the carrier that his gun can damage. He remembers the carrier's refueling booms. Could his gun be enough to cause a fuel fire?
He aims for the Blixtkrig's forward starboard side LAMS emplacement.
"Imperial aircraft, the Aesthian carriers have refueling booms on their wingtips behind the CIWS emplacements, in the tail boom, and along the hull. Striking it may cause a fuel fire,"
: Understood, thanks for the heads up.

You land a few hits, but don't see any immediate effect.

The Odslighet's escorts, as well as the carriers, open up with a defensive salvo of SAMs. The last plane in Rauths Maniple goes down to the Aesthian flagship's guns.
: All planes, listen up! We've completed brown townysis of the enemy craft. The Carrier Odslighet has three energy weapon emplacements on its exposed flight decks- two on the larger lower deck and one on the smaller one above. Spectral brown townysis indicates the weapons project a stream of ionized gas at over 3500 meters per second, like some kind of plasma-based railgun. The beam appears to dissipate three kilometers out from the point of origin, and should have no effect beyond five. We have observed that the weapon requires several seconds to charge before firing, and will be able to warn pilots in its predicted area of effect.
:Kobalt Three, Kobalt Six, evade!

Now entering Gun Range of the Blixtkrig and the Vaktare.


Aesthian Airships will reach their target in 6 turns.

Walt fights the urge to keep laying into the carriers and evades.

Ajka evades the best she can, hoping that these few seconds aren't her last.

"Lining up a shot on the Odjur!"

Jaakko gets an idea, and slaves the AAM seeker to his helmet HUD to try to lock the Obslighet’s special weapons. He looks just in time to see a projectile speeding to meet him.

He yanks on the stick and evades as hard as he can.

All shots connect with your target, and there you witness a small explosion within the intake. The pale blue glow reflecting off the ship's fuselage goes dim, and you're reasonably confident you had something to do with it.
