Re: Another Event Full Day on the Dwarf

Who: The Squadron of SE's, Jay and Amber
Where: Space... Dur....
When: Few seconds before Amber saves the day!
Phantom lost his usual cool exterior in the cockpit and screamed.
He thought he could handlt it, maybe with the targeting computer he
could have, but the pressure was too great to just loose off a
missile by eye and stick it down a hole not a few metres wide. He'd
barely flown before, he was a gunslinger not a fighter pilot and now
he was in combat! The hole grew larger in the screen, he was only a
few kilometers away now and he kept telling himself he wouldn't make
it as he tried to line the crosshairs up on the hole and failed for
the tenth time.
At that moment the Vespidae howled past him in the trench and flew
in front of him.

"She trusted her instincts and fired a missile at the
hole, the projectile hurtled on its way and sank deep into the metal
colossus. She hoped it would hit it's target inside and pulled up,
radioing the others to clear the area as the ship went up."
<Endsnip>
"Right kids, missile's away and looks to be on target I'd suggest
we aren't here in about 30 seconds. Phantom, follow me." Amber said
to the pilots, before pulling up and out of the trench.
Jack hauled the Eagle up and after her, the defence systems on the
mothership were still active and turrets belched deadly fire at the
two escaping vessels. After he'd got far enough away he turned it to
face the doomed ship and watched.
The ship's skin pulsed outwards from the initial explosion, light
streamed out from every window and then the hull vapourised leaving
mile long chunks of glowing machinery. The robot ships, over a
hundred in number by now, stopped recieving orders and began to spin
and circle wildly before slowing and powering down.
The other Dwarf ships in the warzone started taking potshots at
the dead ships and whoops and cheers came over the radio. Jack sat
quietly clenching and unclenching his hands on the joystick and
feeling annoyed with himself. The radio crackled into life and
snapped him out if it.
"C'mon mister," Amber said, "lets get back. You sir, owe me
a drink!"
