Snippet #2407712

"This is Captain Holtz, all wings report in." The squadron leader of Kleines Geschwader calls out on his squadron channel after launching from the HDS Ramstein.

"Hunter Two, all green sir."
"Hunter Three, everything's ready sir."
"Hunter Four, I'm good sir."
"Hunter Five, systems green sir."
"Hunter Six, ready sir."
"Hunter Seven systems ready sir."
"Hunter Eight, everything's green sir."
"Hunter Nine, ready to go sir."
"Hunter Ten, ready sir."
"Hunter Eleven, ready to go sir!"
"Hunter Twelve, systems good sir."
"Hunter Thirteen, ready sir"
"Hunter Fourteen, all good sir."

"Good, we've not been given permission to engage as of yet so everyone maintain loose formation. We're concentrating our attack on the following starships, I'm loading them to your systems now."

"Medical frigate sir?"

"Yes Hunter Five, we're cutting across their medical fleet and hitting their fleet from its right side. We've seen the scans, tough outer shell. Keep your cannons cool unless engaging fighters or turrets. We'll clear the rear of the medical frigate closest to our main target ship. Once the engines are secure Hunters Nine through Fourteen will unleash your thermonuclear payload into their engines. Hunters Six through Eight will direct your ion fire at the conduits at the top of the rocket tanks. Can't get a nuke in if there's fire blasting out the back. Everyone else keep them covered, we'll knock out that ship before they have a chance to call for help. For now we'll maintain a patrol closest to the medical ship. Once Ramstein gives us the order to engage, we'll form a tight zero zero four formation and expend our afterburners to close the distance as fast as possible. Everyone got that?"

"Yes sir!" The rest of the squadron answered in unison.
