#17 by Janson

-Ames Research Station-

The Sequoia is outside Ames Research Station, and a battle is brewing. Janson is sitting in his cockpit, anticipating the battle, nervously doing his preflight checks, and awaiting the order to launch. Finally, Admiral Cravic sends the order out, "All fighters and bomber, launch, and good luck."

Every ship slowly float up and orderly launches from the Sequoia. Janson follows out right behind Cravic. Cravic enters Janson's comm, "Follow me as my wing for this battle. You should do just fine." "Yessir." The fighters lead the formation, flying as a cover for the bombers. Kusari fighters and bombers launch from their cruiser as well, and also keep their fighters and interceptors ahead of the bombers. Both formations, Liberty and Kusari, meet in the middle, somewhere over Ames, and noise fills the comm.
"Liberty-5 hit!"
"Hey, I got one!"
"Ah! Liberty Bomber-32 here, can someone get this-*explosion*"
"Hey Liberty-32 what do you need? Liberty-32?"
Cravic, followed closesly by Janson dived below the formation, and came around behind. "Alright, Janson, lets take out a few of these bombers."
"Sounds like fun, sir."
The pair managed to shoot a few down before they were intercepted by Kusari craft. As they made their escape, Janson gets seperated from Cravic, and a Kusari Interceptor follows him, getting a hit behind his cockpit and ejecting him out, where he waits out the battle. Cravic managed to get around his pursuer and shot him down, and the battle was over, but the victor is still to be decided.
