Fighting the Ohm....IN SPAAAACE!

[yubyubcommander]

As soon as the Ohm appeared, Wedge had begun moving. He practically sprinted off the Obs deck, yelling at Stacy as he headed for the hangar bay.

“Stacy, I need our fighters prepped now..” He doesn’t wait for an answer, instead lifting his comm ring to his lips and speaking into it, the message transmitted across open channels to everybody in

Kyle heard Wedge's scramble, and beat the decks getting to his flight suit, and X-Wing. He'd thankfully left the former in the later for just such an occasion. Firing up the systems he hoped to the Force everything was still in shape from the last inspection. Zooming out into space he immediately had to dodge incoming fire from the Ohm. Force he hoped the new kids would be alright. They still didn't have enough training to be out in the this kind of mess. Hell, he didn't have enough training, and experience to be out in a fight like this. Opening up with his lasers on the nearest Ohm he flicked on his comms.

"Rogue Fifteen joining the fray Rogue Leader. You alright?"

[kawalskyeffect]

"Rogue Sixteen right behind you, Rogue Fifteen." It was time to see just how these X-Wings held up in a fight, his first ever in space at that. "Come on baby, let's see what you've got."

[mercjedi]

"Roger that Sixteen. Glad to have you out here with me." It was their first battle together, but he was sure Kawalsky would have his back just like he'd have his. "Let's get ourselves some breathing room by clearing out some of these Ohm. Sound good?"

[kawalskyeffect]

"Not great, Fifteen, awesome. Let's kick some Ohm ass."

Asuka's heart was racing - she could hear the blood rushing in her ears. Finally, real combat. A real chance to show she was the best. TO show that she wasn't a useless waste of space. That she was more than just some little girl. She was still struggling into her suit as she half-hopped across the hangar towards "her" X-Wing. She was going to do this. She tugged her helmet on awkwardly and then shot up the ladder to the cockpit. She secured herself and ran through a hasty pre-flight checklist as the canopy lowered. She flexed her fingers over the control stick and then kicked her throttle wide open as she roared out of the hangar and into the inky blackness of space.

"Rogue Four away! All engines green!"

Below her, she could see the blue-green planet. Not to mention the millions of Ohm.

[ladyofthesands]

"Four," Arha said, a small grin flickering across her face as she tok out another enemy fighter. "Watch your six, mm? And don't scratch the paint any more than it is. I just buffed it out."

Despite the light banter, Arha was working hard and clearing a significant amount of Ohm in her range. She was also keeping Ohm away from Wedge's ass, rolling, dodging, but always working herself back into formation.

[redheadcarrier]

"Don't worry! It won't get a scratch!" Asuka's reply had a lot more confidence than she really felt. There were too many - but she was still slashing her fighter through the fray, spitting laser bolts.

[ladyofthesands]

Arha smiled, turning and twisting as she vaped more fighters off Wedge's wing, then broke as she spotted one closing in on an awkward angle to Asuka's position. She went screaming after the fighter and took it out only to have two on her tail

Lowe was support. Lowe was a technician. Lowe... was NOT going to let these bug bastards get away with this!

Forgoing a space suit and racing into the hangar, he boarded the Astray Red Frame, hooking up 8 into the machine and allowed the Mobile Suit to kick on. This was going to be a tough battle - the Mobile Suits still with batteries were still that way and if they ran out now...

He shoved that out of the way for now.

[Red Frame is armed and ready to go.] 8 chirped up, his computer screen showing that the suit's beam rifle, anti-beam shield and flight pack had been installed. [Battery power at maximum. Are you ready, Lowe?]

"Ready as I'll ever be, 8. Alright, let's show these bugs who's boss! Lowe Guele in the Astray Red Frame! Heading out!" With that, the Red Frame raced out, joining the X-Wings already in flight.

[halfa_hero]

Danny, hearing the call, had left the ground battle and gotten back to the ship.

[[Rogue 8 is away. I'll be backing you up Lowe.]]

[kitbashurgundam]

[[Great to hear that, Rogue 8!]] Lowe replied. [[Gonna need some long range support here. Getting up close and personal's my style!]]

Holstering the Beam Rifle, Red Frame grabbed and unsheathed the Gerbera Straight katana, slashing through one of the Ohm fighters as he did.

[halfa_hero]

A fighter came in from the side, going after Lowe's mech. Danny fired, blasting it out of the sky.

[ladyofthesands]

Arha barked back a quick response and then jammed herself into her flight suit quicker than she'd ever pulled on anything in her life. She did a quick pre-flight check and then launched. With the utmost care, she eased off and formed up on Wedge's wing.

"Rogue Leader, I have your wing," Arha said, her voice crisp as she rolled and took out an incoming Ohm ship, then juked back into formation. "Ready, steady, and green across the board."

The moment Yzak was informed that the Ohm were attacking, he sprinted off, away from the crowds. There were enough crew members taking care of the evacuating civilians, and if there weren't enough fighters resisting the Ohm, they'd all die anyway.

He ran as fast he could (which was fast, faster than most of the civilians) down the streets, desperately aiming to get to his mobile suit. He brought his comm ring up. "On my way!" he yelled breathlessly into it.

[jesushasagundam]

There's a fighter plane flying at dangerously low altitudes nearby, Yzak - and in the back, Kira spots a familiar head of blue-gray hair even as he swivels in the turret to try to bring down the Ohm that are everywhere. "Is... that Yzak?" he calls to Shinn in the pilot's seat.

This isn't working like this. They need to get into their Mobile Suits.

[zaftard]

Yzak easily hears the noise and gunfire from the craft above-- something that low-flying is certainly enough to catch his attention. Without slowing his speed even a bit, he spares a glance upward. The back of someone's head, piloting the thing, and...

"YOU!!" he yelled up at Kira, twisting his face up angrily. "What the hell are you doing down here in that thing?!"

[jesushasagundam]

"Trying to shoot them!" Kira punctuates his statement by turning around, his sights coming up, and firing. "This isn't really the time to be arguing!"
