[color=00a651]"Thanks for the assist, Wizard."[/color] Maki sent her thanks over the comms as she noticed the blip right behind her drop off the console screen. [color=00a651]"But it's ladies first, and then everyone else but you."[/color] She retorted his earlier comment as she watched him fly off to assist their fearless leader. All that talk about not getting themselves killed, and he was the one drifting off with a failed reactor.

[color=00a651]"Hunter, in the clear and moving to assist Odin."[/color] Maki reported over the comms, moving and firing as she went, taking shots of opportunity while never flying in a straight line or predictable pattern. Trent had already taken care of the Coalition pilot, but someone had to help Trapp's wounded machine get back to the Lincoln or he was just a sitting duck for any Coalition pilot who noticed him.

[color=00a651]"Alice, Wizard, cover me while I get Odin back to safety."[/color] Maki requested over the comms to her two closest squadmates as she stopped the Hellcat beside the Sentinel and the tow cables ejected from its sides, fired right at the Sentinel's hull.

Maki was throwing away the Hellcat's agility like this, but was extremely confident that between Alice and Trent, the two had enough fire power to stop anyone who might pose a threat. She just had to keep an eye out for plasma fire. [color=00a651]"For all your talk about not getting ourselves killed, you sure made a dog's dinner out of the whole leading by example thing."[/color] She teased their leader as she opened up a burst into a Ferir, whose pilot had severely underestimated Maki's capabilities.

If firing and taking out a MAS while her Hellcat and the enemy was moving at fullspeed, it wasn't going to be problem when she was being slowed and (somewhat) stabilized by a Sentinel. The problem, however, was that she was going to take time to get Trapp to safety and her own Hellcat back into the fight. [color=00a651]"Oi, Napoleon, just stay alive until I get this big fat ass to the Lincoln!"[/color]
