(Mars Perimeter - Fighter  – ACONN Ensign Alexander Dyson – 0949)

After Alex had finished his transmission, Snoopy made it clear what he thought of Alex’s plan. ~Nice way to score points with the rest of the squadron, Shep.~ His inner cynic said. Before he could say anything to Snoopy, the Lieutenant changed channels. ~Either he’s complaining about me to Raid or he’s receiving a transmission from the boss.~ And either scenario was bad news. Before he could ponder it too much, Knight Three came back on.

=^=Okay kid, you wanna play fighter, then play.  You’re on your own.  Watch your six.=^=

“Yes, sir.”

Knight Three broke away and was quickly proven right. He had painted a target on his back, causing Bravo Squadron to attack him. But here was the thing. Alex knew that Bravo Squadron were better pilots than him. ~And if they had attacked with the element of surprise, I would have been splashed three times over by now.~ But his move had not only identified the leader fighter, it had gotten them to come for him when he knew they were coming.

Alas, that was where the good news ended. Because even with advanced knowledge of their attack, the best he could do was dodge their fire. ~Blast !~ And while he was playing clay pigeon, Snoopy was getting no less than two kills.

=^=Hold tight Knight 2, help is on the way.=^=

“Roger that, Knight 3.”
