Beam fire pounded into the hangar area as the Small Platter cleared the hangar. ""Hard to port, all ahead flank! Weps, concentrate your fire on the enemy airborne units. Get that damn Gaplant if you can!" Jim called. By ordering them to focus on Ennis, Jim was taking something of a personal risk, since if Ennis was killed his chances at an easy pardon went up with it. Of course, he didn't expect the famed Headhunter to fall so easily, and if he did, the Titans would be far easier to defeat outright, deprived of one of their most able commanders. The ship again shook as she presented a full broadside, all nine of her massive cannons belching flame as nine heavy shells leaped out of the barrels, the flak all going for Ennis. "All players, Starbase, we're attempting to maneuver clear, we need a delaying rearguard. And make damn sure those airborne suits go down or we can't run. Azusa, good hunting" Jim called to the wing, asking for cover against the Titans suits as the ship slowly worked her way up to flank speed.


[9 flak shells for Ennis, ship is attempting to maneuver clear of the engagement zone]

Ambrose saw fire coming in low, and a quick burst from his thrusters vaulted him over the fire. "She's not done yet, Headhunter!" he retorted to Ennis's comment as the Hazel or what was left of her crashed back to the ground, beam fire searing the air as it pierced the sky for Ennis's cockpit.

[3 beams for Ennis]

__________________________________

Kerin's elaborate maneuvers paid off, as the enemy was relying on guesswork for a firing solution, and he was able weave out of the fire... barely. On beam flashed a bare yard from his cockpit, and Kerin had to grudgingly admit the terrorist he was fighting was good. Of course, I'm not going to lose to some damn terrorist he thought as he broke for altitude, spitting beams into the dust cloud.

During his nosedive at the hangar entrance, rather than risk pulling up and being shot in the back, Erol instead clenched himself. The Asshimar moved “upwards” relative to its orientation while in a nosedive. Pushed in his seat, Erol transformed the Asshimar into mobile suit mode and maneuvered his unit to halt its descent but retreating from the hangar mouth. Too many split moments later the upsidedown Asshimar began to right itself and the pilot relaxed in his seat.

Hovering in midair, Erol recognized Ennis Gaplant in what was slowly no longer becoming distant while somewhere below him the Smalll Platter had cleared the hangar mouth and was now opening fire with a full broadside that induced a ‘wow’ from Erol.

Enough piddling around enough, snapping out of his reverie and scolding himself for taking so long that they he was giving them enough time to let heavy firepower clear the way and come to bear. The Asshimar began to flip and contort itself into mobile armor mode then began zooming about in circle before lowering itself into an attack run on the Smalll Platter itself rather than those around it. He circled around to its rear and began and flew in high weaving flying saucer fashion to try and avoid defending fire. Crosshairs on the Smalll Platter.his Asshimar’s beam rifled opened attempting to rake fire on its flank and back.

Karl was on the move the moment he fired his shots, Kerin's beams blowing out clouds of gravel and chunks of the steel reinforced concrete underneath, the pilot had skill but didn't have the kind needed to take on a veteran like Karl. As he worked out his plan to bring the pilot down Karl received Jim's call over the com's, "Starbase, Reaper one, confirm exfil from the area, task Delta and all unengaged units with escort, all other units will follow shortly. Request continued covering fire from big boomers." Firing his thrusters to full he exploded out of the dust cloud at speed and zeroed in on Kerin's unit, switching out his beam saber in favor of his other pistol he began his trademark evasive patterns while unleashing four staggered beams at his opponent.

(four beams for Kerin)

_________________________________________

Inside the base chaos ensued as all manner of offensive weaponry poured in, gantry's collapsed and equipment vaporized as the explosions rocked the inside of the base. With rocks beginning to crumble off the ceiling, Captain Armstrong ordered the evacuation of the base, though not through the front door, instead he and his command began fleeing towards the small personnel doors on the south end of the hangar, their only real chance of escaping the hell fire of the wrath that had been unleashed on the poor mountain base. As the Karaba soldiers fled along the hangar they dodged falling rocks and shrapnel, many of them dying painfully along the way.

Sean

After Sean's attack on the cave, he got off his Base Jabber and stayed on ground. He needed to reload though, and couldn't do it with a weapon in each hand. With the battle seemingly ignoring him, it gave Sean enough time to stick the barrel of one gun into the dirt to reload the one remaining in his hand, as well as the one now standing upright. Shaking off the excess dirt from his machinegun, he was ready to go. Observing the battle, he spotted Karl's unit engaging Kerin. Firing four bullets at the very black Rick Dias, Sean opened up a public channel. "Karl, don't give the new guy all the fun." He knew that Karl already found out that he was in a Titan mobile suit, so exposing himself wasn't going to do anything.

*4 bullets for Karl*

Zane

Zane's GM ran through the front line, even though friendlies were being hit. *explained below* He wanted to be in themiddle of the fight, and not worrying about the collapsing base. He saw a Marasai engaging Karl, who was also being attacked by a HiZack with a color scheme he knew all too well. "Sean? he thought to himself. Sean's face popped up enticing Karl to fight him. Zane wasn't about to let Sean and some rookie take out Karl. Lifting his beam rifle, Zane fired a shot between the units

*1 beam separating Kerin and Sean from Karl*

Leet

Leet and his crew, who were previously walking around the base enjoying some relief, weren't able to get to the Azura, who closed off all ship entrances. Instead, Leet decided to rally his men inside the Small Platter.

Azura Team

The team of mobile suits, as well as the ship itself, could not leave the hangar. Too many rocks caved in on the sides of the base, making hte wingspan of the Dodai Kai's too large for them to clear. The Captain sent the Small Platter a request to clear the way with a few shells. Although it may cause a cave in if hit carelessly, a few well placed shots would give the Azura enough clearance to make it out.

Delta Team

Delta was stuck in the same boat as the Azura team, except Medea and Michiko were also now mourning the loss of Gaunt, the teams little nerd.

S-12 Defense Forces

The unit carrying the beam rifle was tagged in the neck from Jurik's attack, and the pilot lost control of the unit and slammed into the wall. The rest of the shots, including the one from Anderson, missed due to the flailing and seemingly spastic movement of the out-of-control mobile suit. The unit fell face front into the wall of the cave, and the pilot's seat harness snapped from the sudden jerk. falling out of his seat, his head hit violently against the cockpit hatch, knocking him out cold.

The other two went to assist their friend, only to be attacked by Anderson. The shot for unit 2 missed for the most part, barely missing the head, but singeing the read if the unit's head. Unit 3took a direct hit to the left elbow joint, sheering off the forearm and shield

Unit 4 was still unoccupied, and an AEUG pilot who currently has no MS to use could enter it. *cough* Banska*cough*

“Ok, this was such a stupid idea,” Banska remarked as he activated the GM. He had hopped off of the Small Platter when he saw the pilotless mobile suit out of a window.


Julian returned to the base entrance just as the Small Platter lumbered out, guns a blazin’.
“Oh shit!”

“Ignore that piece of shit. It’s a decoy, probably with a skeleton crew. Keep pushing into the base. Our backup will take care of that Big Tray (He meant to say small platter) if it gets in their way,” Jurik commanded as he prepared to duck his suit around again. The Marasai marched forth and once again shot a burst of beams at the defending GMs. Anderson continued to fire at the rebels, targeting the two suits that were still standing. Julian followed Jurik’s lead and popped his Asshimar around the entrance and fired on the two standing mobile suits.

(6 beams from Jurik at all three GMs, 2 beams from Anderson, one for each of the standing GMs, 4 beams from Julian, 2 for each of the standing GMs)

As the Small Platter began to slowly push out away from the chaos of the battle, both Eddy and David got the message and decided it was best to stick as close to the land battleship as possible. The two Nemo Cannons jumped up onto the deck, taking up positions on starboard and port respectively. David positioned his shield booster near the bridge module, while Eddy knelt down near the triple gun with his shield booster very poised toward any enemies that come their way. "Starbase, this is Beta Lead. Give us targets of opportunity and we'll open up, full fire."

[Uhh...Reggie, we;'re already out of the hangar and accelerating to flank speed... kinda hard to leg it to catch up with us at that. Assuming this thing handles like a WWII destroyer, she'll do 0 to 15 knots in 2 minutes, and that is rather fast...]

Jim cursed as an Allied suit lost control and careened into the hangar causing a massive rockslide, trapping the base personnel. Jim briefly considered using the mains to blast an exit, but the friendly casualties that caused would be too high. Instead, Jim felt the ship's acceleration in the deckplates beneath him as the ship reached thirty knots and kept on going. Jim ordered them to shift targets, sending another full broadside tearing out of his gun tubes, headed right for one of the Titans.

[9 shells for Jurik]

__________________________

Kerin threw the stick hard over, zigging his Marasai as the four beams came at him sequentially. He weaved through one, then two, but try as he might, Kerin was out of his league with this one, not that he would ever acknowledge it, and the third beam neatly carved his shield arm off. Swearing, Kerin took advantage of the altitude he'd built up to execute a split-S, turning away from Karl and building some speed in the process. He then came back around on a wide turn at full military power, lining up on Karl's side for a high speed crossing run. Squeezing his trigger, Kerin sent a torrent of beam energy streaking through the air at Karl.

(Red, you totally ignored Zanes shot.)

Karl laughed as machine gun rounds pinged off of his suits chest armor, the Gundarium γ alloy that his Rick Dias was made of easily deflecting them. Karl then heard Sean's jab at him over the com, "Seany boy, I'll play with you in a minute, I just need to end this talentless punks life real quick."

As he spoke, he noticed Kerin line up on his right side for another attack run. Smiling to himself, Karl quickly turned into Kerin's line of travel, running straight at him at full speed and continuing his evasive dance. As Kerin's shots flew at him he deftly spun off to the side with each one until he was sure another wasn't coming, at that point he jumped with all of his thrusters might, his twin beam pistols spitting two shots each at their intended target while at the same time his phalanx guns spat a sustained burst of 55mm rounds at the Base Jabber, "Let's bring your punk ass down to Earth!!!"

(Four beams and phalanx rounds coming for Kerin's life.)

Well, the shots hit the GMs and now they’re dead or whatever, O’Regan can decide when he finally comes back.

Suddenly the world exploded into a bright flash around Jurik. None of the shells struck his suit but the Marasai was thoroughly ravaged by the explosions nonetheless.

“Shit!” Julian exclaimed.
“Boss is down! Alexander recover his suit. I’ll cover you.” As Anderson crossed in front of the base entrance, Julian fired into the rebel fortress, then turned towards the small platter, which we’re not supposed to attack because it’s important to the plot but I kind of have to now that it’s engaged me. His Assimar leapt into the air and boosted towards the land battleship. Transforming into flight mode, the advanced weapon soared towards its target and opened fire.

(Three shots into the base aimed at nothing in particular, two shots at the small platter)

As his mobile suit screamed past Karl at breakneck speed, Kerin quickly joined in the screaming... thankfully with his comm off, sparing him the embarrassment of endless mocking. He'd evaded the first 2 hits, but Karl's third beam had struck pay dirt, ripping his Base Jabber out from under him without so much as a fare thee well. Kerin's momentum carried him away from the fight, and even as he thrusted back towards it he knew he would be hard pressed to catch up to the fleeing rebels.

_____________________________

As the Small Platter reached flank speed, Jim's blood ran cold as beam fire reached out for it. Thankfully, the range was opening and the beams missed the ship... but not by much. A quick order redirected his after main battery at the offending suit, and the forward mains reengaged the surviving Titan aerial suits. "All players, Starbase, we are nearly clear; come on home. Repeat, come on home/ Starbase will suppress remaining airborne units" he called as the ship rattled below him as its guns belched yet another broadside.

Something moved behind Anderson’s Hizack custom as it reached Jurik’s suit.

“What was that?” Julian’s Asshimar rolled to one side as the shells exploded in line behind him.

“Ha ha, you’ll have to aim better than that!” Alarms sounded inside his cockpit.

“What?!” A beam saber pierced through the suit’s flight unit, sending the Asshimar spinning out of control. Banska’s GM II touched down on the back of the Small Platter as Julian's suit spiraled off to port.

"Roger Starbase, pulling out now." Karl said as his Dias landed still going at top speed, raising his left arm into the air he popped off two flares to indicate a retreat order and then sped off for the Little Platter, popping off shots at any enemies that were engaged with his troops that he could see, trying break up the fights.

Minutes later he landed lightly on the back deck next to Banska, "All your parts still attached Lt.?"

“I believe so. I have no idea what’s going on, though. Do you know if we’re missing anybody?” Banska answered over his comm.

[Calling 48 on Ace, since its been... more than 48]

Jim glanced at the tactical readout and noted with satisfaction that the ships heavy guns had forced the Gaplant that could only be Ennis out of the sky, too mangled by the massive 18" cannons to stay airborne. With all the enemy fliers out of the equation, and his own suits collapsing back onto the ship, their escape was virtually assured at this point. To discourage further pursuit, the after battery spat a suppressing blast to clear their six.

[General pain for anyone trying to follow us]

_______________________________________________

Ambrose managed to use the Hazel's main engines to get back to the ship, but on his final approach the portside engine flamed out, causing the pseudo-Gundam to take an exceptionally hard landing that caused severe shock damage to the legs. Ambrose was out of his cockpit fast as he could once his suit was laid up, and he closed his eyes as he looked at his battered, bruised, and finally beaten mobile suit.
