USH'S MATRIX GAME 2006 FOURTH ASSIGNMENT (COMBAT)- 'The Real'

Melis fires two bursts at the Sentinel at 9 o'clock Mid (-/0).

"We need those Sentinels off!" Mors shouts. "They're biting hard!"

Mors puts out a burst at the Sentinel clambering towards his gun turret, from Vertical Dive.

Soon find out, won't you, Ares?

Forgot to add in the event, which I now have- it's the only good news Event there is, and there will not be another.

Yup! Sure will! Boy oh boy, can't wait...

Hawk shoots a second burst into the squid in front of him at 9 o'clock Low.

I guess everyone is too basically worried about things to worry more about the noise and the shaking.

...I'll go ahead and ask, since Ares isn't shooting.

When the ship shudders suddenly, Ares looks to Ariadne.

"...what was that?" he asks.

Ariadne looks confused for a moment, and then turns pale.

"The engine flow regulator!" she gasps.

Let's see if anyone gets that reference.

(I was right...)

"A-again?!" Ares stutters, disbelieving. "I thought we fixed everything!"

"Err... actually... Sequel kinda had to scrounge something together because the Neb took the only actual replacement... I told Dallas not to push the engines!"

Ares runs his hands through his hair, panicking.

"If the engines give out, we're toast! 'Hard to escape Sentinels when you can only turn in one direction,' after all. You said so yourself. Now we're fighting 3000 of the bastards, couldn't have asked for a better time to die out! What do we do?!"

"Err, that was with a connection failure," says Ariadne. "This is a power overload. They won't cut out, Ares. The arrays will explode."

A pause.

"I'll go tell Dallas..."

(Gun will work next turn, Ares)

"Oh, that's hardly better!" Ares calls out after her, slumping into his seat after finishing reconnecting the ammo feed. "Explode! We're going to explode!"

Mors shudders when he hears Ares' announcement.

"Just keep shooting!" Mors urges. "Dallas and Ariadne will take care of it, but we need to take care of the Sentinels!"

One burst at the six o'clock low sentinel that is attacking the engines. [the (E/2) one]

That's not us, Fire. That's on the Percy.

Hawk's eyes go wide with shock as he hears Ares.

"Just when I was thinking this couldn't get any better! Now we're gonna explode and it won't even be the squids' fault?!"

"Just keep shooting!" Mors repeats. "Dallas will handle it!"

Thx Mors!

Listening over the comms Burn responds.
"F*ck! This shit better not go down on me! God damn!"
SHoot at the one cutting into my turret.
