After launching their missiles and ‘flipping over’ the pilots of Vermillion 7, Reindeer 9, and Reindeer 4 engage their autopilot. Needing to go in a straight direction required nothing more then the three veritechs to get into formation and each individual pilot to flip a few switches in the cockpit.
With the autopilot engaged the pilots could focus on guiding their respective Angel of Death nuclear missile to target. The biggest target in each respective alien formation is of an unknown type. With a cross section of 30 by 60 meters the vessel has a single big sensor eye with dual laser mounts on either side, and a large dorsal mounted radome. The big ‘target’ is surrounded by ten of the alien Tri-Thruster Aerospace fighters. The Tri-Thrusters in each formation begin to scatter as the AoD’s reach their respective target.
In Vermillion 7,
2nd Lieutenant O’Neill flawlessly guides his Angel of Death to his target within the first enemy formation despite energy weapons fire attempting to shoot down the missile. The video feed (which gets a bit fuzzy in the last 30 seconds) shows that the accompanying Tri-Thruster fighters beginning to scatter before the only the large alien AWACS/EWAR warfare platform can be seen. The video feed continues until the camera actually strikes the large central mounted sensor eye of the alien AWACS/EWAR warfare platform.
Espada 5 guides her Angel of Death towards an alien Tri-Thruster Fighter.
Vermillion 7’s AoD takes out the alien AWACS/EWAR warfare platform, and four of the accompanying Tri-Thruster fighters.
Espada 5’s AoD takes out three of the accompanying Tri-Thruster fighters.
The firebirds launched from the two veritech are evaded, but it really doesn’t matter as the AoD’s did most of the work, reducing the alien formation designated #1 to only a trio of Tri-Thruster fighters….
In Reindeer 9,
1st Lieutenant Jennsen, launches his Angel of Death, and begins to guide it toward the second enemy formation and the biggest target within. The video feed goes fuzzy, probably an indicator that the alien AWACS is also an EWAR bird. Just as the video feed goes to white snow Jennsen sees the side profile of his target as it apparently attempts to bank away.
The other AoD launched at this formation by Reindeer 17 takes out five of the accompanying Tri-Thruster fighters
The Firebird launched by Reindeer 9 fails to lock onto anything. But the two Firebirds launched by Reindeer 17 manage to lock on and each takes out a Tri-Thruster fighter.
The second enemy formation is reduced to only three of the Tri-Thruster fighters.
In Reindeer 4,
Lieutenant Pak, launches his Angel of Death, and begins to guide it one of the alien capital ships. With his target the furthest away Pak has the longest ToT (Time to Target), but also gathers some valuable intelligence.
OOC: Please post when you can. Your still heading towards the Alert fighters. There are no enemy missiles following you. The radio thread will have a status on the enemy formations.
Pak you'll get to see what your missile does in a bit.
