12: SUDDEN DEATH

A layout of an M2 refueling station on Titan is shown. A diagram of an A-Jak is also shown.

Chaehyun: Mnet Ajaks are refueling on the surface on Titan. After theair battle with Olympus Mons, they won't expect us there. Element of surprise is on our side. Let's move in for a strike.

At the Jackal launch.

Chaehyun climbs in her Jackal , puts on her helmet, and starts it up. The Jackal is prepared for launch.

Bahiyyih: Back to Titan?

Chaehyun: Gotta be done.

Bahiyyih: Can you try to make it home with us this time?

Chaehyun: You were Captain for a minute there.

Bahiyyih: Not my bag.

Chaehyun: Too bad, I was gonna promote you.

Bahiyyih: Don't you there.

Ethan: I'll be your eyes from the Kep, Ma'am. Fueling vessels have limited combat capability. Primary threats are Skelters and airborne Ajaks.

Chaehyun: Copy, Ethan. Mnet almost punched us out up here.

Ethan: Payback, Ma'am?

Bahiyyih: Damn straight, Ethan.

ATC Mini Boss: KIM-1s, tower advises, limited visibility and high winds.

Chaehyun: Roger, 1-1 check.

Bahiyyih: Check, 1-2.

ATC Mini Boss: KIMs are locked and ready for launch

Chaehyun: hit it.

ATC Mini Boss: Launch in 3, 2, 1...

The Jackals launch and proceed to the target.

Bahiyyih: Thick fog. Tower was right.

Chaehyun: We should be in range.

Ethan: Affirmative. You're just overhead. Marking positions on your HUDs now.

Bahiyyih: Eyes on multiple airships. Counting 5.

Chaehyun: Clear to engage. Light 'em up!

Chaehyun takes out an A-Jak. Skelters are launched to defend the A-Jaks.

Ethan: Ma'am, I've got fighters approaching hot.

Chaehyun: Hyyih?

Bahiyyih: Confirmed, Skelters incoming.

Chaehyun: Rog. Let's give 'em heat.

The KIMs engage and eliminate the Skelters.

Ethan: All Skelters accounted for. KIMs are clear.

Chaehyun takes out another A-Jak.

Ethan: Three more gunships on radar.

Bahiyyih destroys an A-Jak.

Bahiyyih: One Ajak up in smoke.

Chaehyun: Nice one Hyyih.

Ethan: Minus one- two left.

Chaehyun brings down another A-Jak.

Ethan: One gunship remaining. Be advised, I'm tracking 2 Aces.

Chaehyun: Copy that.

Bahiyyih: Welcoming party.

Chaehyun: Let's introduce ourselves.

Bahiyyih: Where are my manners?

Chaehyun shoots down an Ace.

Bahiyyih: One down, one to go.

Chaehyun takes down the other Ace.

Bahiyyih: Second Ace is toast.

Chaehyun: Ethan, we clear?

Ethan: Affirm. Aces eliminated. Good shooting.

Chaehyun: We still got bogeys, let's dust 'em.

Bahiyyih: Let's zero on these Ajaks.

Chaehyun destroys the last A-Jak.

Ethan: All enemy Ajaks disabled. Good kills.

Bahiyyih: We're clear, station secure. Thanks for the assist, Ethan.

Ethan: All in a days work, Ma'am.

Chaehyun: All KIMs ,rendezvous back to the Kep.

Ethan: Tower is ready for traffic, Ethan out.

Chaehyun approaches the Keplian.

Chaehyun: Tower, this is 1-1, we're on approach.

ATC Mini Boss: Roger, Jackals are clear for landing.

Chaehyun: 1-1.

Bahiyyih: 1-2, inbound.

Chaehyun approaches the runway.

ATC Mini Boss: line up for drone assist, Captain.

Chaehyun: Gears out for baton.

The drone attaches to Chaehyun's Jackal and slows it down.

ATC Mini Boss: Lock is good, 1-1. Welcome back.

The Jackals are recovered by Retribution.

Chaehyun ascends the elevator to the bridge deck.

Crewman: Way to give those M2 bandits a taste of their own medicine, Captain.

Crewman 1: I wonder what happened to the civilians working at that refueling station.

Crewman 2: It's Mnet. What do you think happened?

Crewman 1: Man I am glad the Captain's taking back ground. We can't let Mnet keep planting flags.

Crewman 3: Yeah. You'd think with the M2 on high alert, they wouldn't be taken by surprise. Good thing too. Looked like they were gearing up for another strike.

At the Bridge

Yeseo: Jackpot squared away, Captain. Scans confirm zero active targets.
