With a whoop, Duke flips out of the way of the beams reaching for his Valkyrie.
He then pulls a high-g turn and rolls in to make his own attack.
"This ain't my first rodeo hoss!" He shouts as he fires.
for a possible points of laser damage.
He snorts seeing Duke's hot dogging.
Caught watching a split second... another lance of the enemy starts to flood his heading. Elray drops his speed. He fires at the wingman of Duke's target, and rolls to fall into position - four o'clock high to Duke.
He glances at the screen showing the blips to his rear. "Aaaa... ! " he struggles to think of a rodeo metaphor for enemy reinforcements...
Seeing the REF pilot in imminent danger, Ajit maneuvers by and fires upon the invid running Elray down. Even as it hauls a big drum gun around, the strange red bioroid moves with a fluid grace that most mecha can't match.

IT would have to be energy based. Based on how long the Tiresians had their empire.
Oh yeah, you hit. :)

Duke does a corkscrew spin to evade the mighty close shots from the enemy strafing attack.
He then pulls a high-g turn and rolls in to make his own attack.
Easily sliding into enemy's six-o'clock.
"Strike two boy!" He shouts as he fires.
Duke swears as his easy shot is spoiled by his eagerness.
Elray sees Duke maneuver in behind the enemy, and tries to adjust his own heading to be ready to assist.
"Anything I can do to help you shoot your targets down faster there Duke?"
When Duke's target banks in front of Elray, he is a moment too slow to take full advantage of the clean shot.
After the missed opportunity he glances again at the "bigger picture" blipping all over the screen.
"Gettin swallowed up here...."

The red bioroid flips over the strafing fire of nearby enemies to slide into the danger zone to provide suppressing fire to take the heat off of the young REF pilots.
"Let's all gang up on one of 'em!" Duke called out to his squadron. "Maybe we can actually HIT one then!"
"Big John, this is Duke." Duke called the carrier. "Boss, you got a count? Just how many of 'em ARE there? I see thruster flares everywhere!"

Getting overconfident, the red bioroid's pilot makes a sketchy maneuver that exposes him overmuch to enemy fire.
Duke pulls the g's, trying to stay on his chosen victims tail.
"Not this time rabbit..." He muttered as he fires.
for a possible points of laser damage..
Elray brings up Duke's target to help his multi-tasking.
He drops his speed to loop tighter, and gets a shot off before flipping the input switches on his personal laptop.
Elray then sets his headphones to the attenuation setting as a pass-through for the audio portions of his data collection, and his mic to verbal commands.
"Gonna set up some game tapes here... try not to get shot down or look bad."
trying to record whatever recordable data there could be for the fight. I will not access it until afterward so you or we can work out later what I am able to capture.
(though in time, I would like to work on something I could benefit from in battle)

Wary of overextending himself, the pilot of the red bioroid takes a more defensive approach to his strafing fire, and moves into a better position.
Duke continues to stay on his chosen victims tail.
Unable to maintain his position behind his target, he rolls out and comes at him in a more difficult crossing attack. He continues to fire at his target.
for a possible points of laser damage..
Confident Duke has his target handled, Elray peels, and ends up on a collision course with an enemy obscured by wreckage. Muscle memory and panic fire off his cannons before he can even think.
"Yee-haw! Big John; one down, a million to go!" Duke yells. Then he looks and the sensors screen for the others.
"OK Elray, lets bag you one!" Duke pulls into wingman formation.

Elray 's scanner finally warms up, he switches it to record data from scanning as timestamped footage along with visual recording.
He then see the SDF-3 on fire. Instantly in shock, he nearly forgets where he is, and fires a moment past a window of opportunity.
Duke tries to get back in formation with Elray.
Jammed!
Ajit immediately focuses on cutting a swath in the side of the Invid wave that is punching a hole in SDF-3's shields.

Duke clicks the fleet channel.
"Big John, Duke. I see SDF-3's taken a hit to the engines! I see fire! Want us to act as goalkeepers to defend, or keep up the attack?"

"Negative Duke, you're assigned to the ground crew, repeat, you're assigned to the Ground Mechanized Unit."
You see the GMU drop from the ship and head down to the planet's surface. The SDF-3 forward gun batteries begin to open up. You hear a general order for all groups to leave the area immediately.
Well, then Ajit heads there.
Can i just pop down while in my bioroid, or do i need to get into a bigger landing ship?
"Roger that Big John, we're with the GMU. Out."
Duke switches to the squadron link.
"New orders boys and girls! We're heading planetside with the GMU. Form up with them as escorts, be ready to fend off any interceptors. Break!"
Duke hauls back on the stick and hits the burners to get to his assigned position.
You can pop down. Your bioroid is higher tech than any of the Veritechs.Well, then Ajit heads there.

Full speed ahead!

Going down is like trying to enter atmosphere. In fact you are entering it. On the way down, your mecha has flames all around it, but they are designed for reentry. It's not an easy way to fall, but you do. You soon find yourselves safely within the atmosphere, though. So far, none of the invid have been following you.
You see a city of Roman like construction before you. :)
