FLY me to the moon...

Who: Amber
Where: Vespidae
When: During the assault.

Amber yanked on the controls of the hymie fighter craft that she flew, pulling the blue and black wasp shape into a tight barrel roll. She grunted at the g-forces as the artificial gravity for once was not a good thing, saving her from a sticky blast from a defence platform. The little ship was distinguished from it's Hymenopterra cousins by the fact that it had over the years become blue, rather than the traditional deep green of the Hymenopterra Vespidae class fighters. One assumed, as a token to it's mother-ship the Blue Dwarf.

It was hell out here, she had watched as the Phoenix blew up, she could only hope that Jay and the others were all right as she had no time to concentrate on anything but shooting down the enemy. Rosette's message came through not long after, and Amber ordered the remaining craft to stay in the air and concentrate fire on the defence platforms that were tearing holes into the attack force.

"Blue Dwarf this is Vespidae. We need backup here, get some people on the turrets. God dammit anybody! The idiots from McDonalds will do we are getting slapped silly out here!" Amber yelled into the comms on a wide band frequency to the command deck.

She twisted the controls as another ship spiralled in front of the Vespidae and exploded in a bright flash of green. She let loose a volley of the laser guns mounted in the pincers and sliced the offending ship apart, green Hymenopterra blood oozing into space and coating the nearby flying ships. She growled and punched the accelerator hard, zipping through the debris and heading for a platform.

"Everyone with me we need to take out some of these orbital controls." She said, practically yelling into the communication as she sliced apart another fighter craft. She picked up several of the Blue Dwarf Space Eagles that had deployed with her wing and made a beeline for the nearest defence platform. She initiated the tale weapon of Vespidae, the ships tail curling up to point forwards and aim the plasma cannon at the defence platform. The Space Eagles all aimed their cannons at the platform.

"Break formation! Find a weak point and pound it into dust!" Amber yelled, nipping forwards and pulling the Vespidae in so close that the orbital cannons couldn't aim at her. She let loose the plasma cannon at some of the turrets on the way past and the combined effort of the wing of Eagles was enough to disable the firing mechanisms of the giant platform. "Any one find a way in? No? Damn. Well at least it can't shoot us down any more. Move on to the next one, take out as many of those guns as you can!"

She swung back to the fight near the Dwarf as the Eagles carried on their task, hopefully making it at least possible for the ground teams to make it back alive.
