(Mars Perimeter - Mako flight 2 - Pilots Snake Eyes and Deuce - 0955)

Snake Eyes keyed his com. "Rawhide" he called.

=^=Cut 'em out=^= came the reply.

The two fighters jumped ahead, climbing towards Mars and away from the 
dust up and perpendicular to the combat.  Reaching an apex, the two 
fighters made a loop and headed back towards the combat.  The maneuver 
would see one fighter coming in close to the target, and using the 
superior speed, cut the enemy out of the pack, so to speak, leading it 
to the 'roper', who would have a clean shot at the target.  It was a 
tough maneuver, but something that teams practiced.

"Move 'em out," Snake eyes called as he pushed his fighter faster and 
closer to Knight two.  Coming in fast, he moved within a couple of 
meters proximity to the Void Sphynx, matching the fighters moves 
movement for movement.  No matter what 'Knight two' tried to do, he was 
stymied and being boxed in.

Suddenly, the Mako pulled away from the Void Sphynx.  As he tried to 
make room to maneuver he heard and felt the results of the trap. His 
computer alarm went crazy, announcing multiple hits.  His shield failed, 
and the kill call came over his radio.

On his communication channel came a laugh, "Better luck next time little 
dogie," came the taunt as a Mako flew over the Void Spynx.
