Re: Celestia's Finest: Sunshine for Days
Leaving the retorts to others, Sniper emptied another round at the fleeing aircraft.
"Any idea where he's fleeing to?"
Tables could turn quickly. He didn't want to go from being the hunter to the hunted.

Re: Celestia's Finest: Sunshine for Days
Love starts humming to herself as the battle madness happens around her. She keeps up to date on the sensors/jamming via her connection to the ship.

Re: Celestia's Finest: Sunshine for Days
The gunship's second engine sputters and dies. With only two remaining, it slowly begins to dip towards the ground.
Star frowns. "He's hail--" She clears her throat and, in her best imitation of Scotch Tape from Star Trot, says, "We're pickin' up somethin' from dae ship, Cap'n. But our jammin' is keepin' it from bein' decipherable."

Re: Celestia's Finest: Sunshine for Days
Love can't help but snicker a little alongside Star's voice acting.
Love sends a ScoutBot up to the canopy to deliver her message.
"We can talk in pony once he has 'landed'!"
"He's going down. Scope, maybe, let off on the main guns a little?"

Re: Celestia's Finest: Sunshine for Days
At Love's request, Sniper refrained from further firing-- odds were that he'd only miss his target anyway. He extended a curious look at Love.
"That's oddly cold for you." Sniper observed. "The fox might be trying to surrender. Are you sure you don't want to hear what he has to say?"
He turned back to the controls and began taking aim at the retreating ship.Last edited by D.KnightSpider; 2018-02-26 at 12:31 PM.

Re: Celestia's Finest: Sunshine for Days
Spoiler: OoCA perfect time to aim!
Love says (with her normal tone), "I'll dial back the jamming until their full power broadcast can let through a short range message."
"Star, would you send them a similar broadcast so they get the idea?"

Re: Celestia's Finest: Sunshine for Days
Brazen leans back with a grin on his face. "I'm dry on AP rounds anyway. Could try chuckin some tangler rounds downrange to see if it gums up the works."
Spoiler: OOCBrazen might suggest pinpointing out the gunboat's topside weaponry and the Bolts could try to "push it down" but not sure whether it's still firing or not.

Re: Celestia's Finest: Sunshine for Days
"Sure thing, Cap'n!" Star says, "Attention foxy-boy! What is it you want to say?"
"Oh, so now you'll let me talk?" The fox sounds very annoyed. It's hard to make out his words, though, because of all the alarms blaring in the background. "I was going to say, 'I surrender, please let me set down', but my paw just got scorched and now I'm going to wait a half minute so I can feel self-righteous about it."
One of the engines falls off the ship. It begins to slip into a nose-dive.Last edited by Miltonian; 2018-02-26 at 12:59 PM.

Re: Celestia's Finest: Sunshine for Days
Love yells toward the front of the ship, "We accept your surrender!"
She comms the Wonderbolts, "Try to keep their wings up and generating lift!"

"Not sure that boat was made for air flight," Rose comments. "Not like ours. If he had any sense, he'd eject."

Re: Celestia's Finest: Sunshine for Days
Sniper keyed up the Wonderbolts frequency.
"A clarification on our last transmission. In case you couldn't hear the exchange, the pilot of the airship has surrendered. He requested permission to set down. Then he lost the engine. This may become a rescue operation.
"Be careful. The pilot is a fox and you know how crazy they are."Last edited by D.KnightSpider; 2018-02-26 at 02:07 PM.

Re: Celestia's Finest: Sunshine for Days
Love claps one hoof in the other in a moment of eureka. "It doesn't even have wings!"
She yells up front, "Star, you think there is anything we can do to help?"

Re: Celestia's Finest: Sunshine for Days
"Our landing gears are magnetic," Star says, "But I'm not quite that good of a pilot."
"Roger that," Kittyhawk replies, "Oi! You! Eject! Your ship is going down."
There is no reply from the other end but static as the ship tilts farther forward.
"Buck it," Kittyhawk says, "Bolts, grab it."
The three of them latch onto the ship and try to pull up. But the ship is a bit heavier than even three times Brazen's weight. They only manage to stabilize it's flight, not stop it. They let go as it crashes down into the sand below.
"Well buck," Seafire says.

"Well, she's down now. I suggest we tell the Wonderbolts to watch our skies and we go see what survived?" Rose says.

"We'd be landing on their gun anyway. It's a bad idea."
When they get no reply Love starts unbuckling herself (with the magboots helping secure herself). "I volunteer to run at the ship for a rescue!"
If the Firebird is still high up in the air, Love requests a wonderbolt to set her down while the duo avoiding any firing arcs.

Re: Celestia's Finest: Sunshine for Days
"Rose has this right. There's no justification for sending you in by yourself. It's all or none at this point." Sniper said.
"Star, you can take us in, and you might want to keep the engine running."
He toggled his comm. "Wonderbolts, what's it look like down there? Any signs of the pilot?"
Intelligence was a wonderful thing and the Wonderbolts were in a prime position to give it to him.

Re: Celestia's Finest: Sunshine for Days
"I agree with Rose," Star says, "Sorry, Love."
She will swing the ship in for a landing while the Wonderbolts fly in a covering formation overhead.

Rose has her carbine still drawn to the crash site, but carries her medical bag in case there is a survivor.

"Heh. Outvoted."
Love will hop off the ship with everypony else. Instead of approaching on her hind legs with her rifle trained on the wreck, she approaches with a grenades in both hoofs. She'll 'lead' the group charge with everypony, but she keeps a quick tactical pace.

Re: Celestia's Finest: Sunshine for Days
Something was off with Love. She wasn't acting like herself. Sniper made a note of her actions, possible reasons behind them, and then stuffed the observation in the back of his mind.
Ground bound, Sniper followed after Rose and Love. He kept his rifle up and ready for use, providing cover for the other two ponies' approach.
He didn't like this at all.

Re: Celestia's Finest: Sunshine for Days
Brazen locks in a clip of normal shotgun slugs as the Bird goes in for a landing. hoping out when they land and taking point with riot shield out as they approach the ship. "Want me to make ourselves a welcome mat?" Curious he taps the edge of his shield on the hull of the gunboat.

Brazen's shield makes a clang as it strikes the side, but elicits no reaction.

"If you would be so kind." Sniper said.
He moved to the side of the ship's hull, taking up a flanking position. Once Brazen ripped the ship a new one, anything hostile that came out of the ship would be in for a surprise.

Re: Celestia's Finest: Sunshine for Days
"Ready, whenever you are big pony."
Love sets her two grenades in one hoof and pulls another out. She cracks the cold one open and smoke goes off in her hoofs, spraying everywhere.
"What?", She asks. "It's cover! He might not have hyper vision!"
Love will take cover on the opposite side of Scope. She readies her ScoutBot for a voice toggled "search & rescue" while Brazen sets up the charge.

"Aaaalrighty then one new door comin up." Brazen sets about putting up a charge that hopefully will only make a door and not damage to much of what's beyond. Once it's set up he raps his shield against the outside again. "Last chance to open this up or communicate if you can." If there's no further response incoming Brazen braces his riot shield on the ground a meter from the impending new door and sets off the charge.

Re: Celestia's Finest: Sunshine for Days
The door gets blown off its hinges, exposing the interior of the ship. A red light flickers on and off, but otherwise the ship is dark. Thermals and other imaging software pierce the veil and show a wrecked room. Cargo’s sprung free of the moorings, boxes spilling their contents all over the floor. Tools and maybe weapons of strange, alien design lie scattered all around. A bed, pierced and stabbed with shrapnel, lies in the corner next to a small kitchenette. In the opposite corner is a sanitation station, which includes both a toilet and a shower. If the floor and walls weren’t buckled by the force of the impact, it would be a cozy little place to live.
The door to the cockpit remains closed.
