Albert was picking up the artillery unit when he got the comm signal. He rolled his eyes as he heaved a sigh, but smiled at the serendipity. He'd have preferred to make a truly [i]spectacular[/i] explosion, but, priorities. Perhaps they'd [i]all[/i] dropped the ball; he hadn't anticipated something so practical as an enemy retreating when it was, well, the sensible thing to do in the present situation.

Deadalus turned, sighted the target. "Ok, remember, don't aim where they [i]are[/i]; aim where they're going to [i]be...[/i]" He called out over the comm channel, "Watch, you guys are going to [i]love[/i] this!"

With that, he pitched the missiles, cradle and all, and waited to confirm the hit before he completed his objective and the mission.
