Then, the whizz of missiles came, and went. No impact, no violent loss of control, no blood. You leveled out, and the rest of your senses came back to you. Back in the present, you looked back and to your left. Raquel was on them now, and a single IRM loosed, trailing across the sky. It was beautiful. It cut across the sky, a brief contrail before it disappeared from view.

“Magic-II’s eating on the nose, Rose 8! Firing, Fox-Two out!”
<span class="mu-r"><< Unknown Scorpion #2 >></span>
“Shit, the Mirage caught up! Missile incoming, run, run!”
Then, an explosion from the exhaust of one of the Scorpions. Shrapnel ripped through it, a small smoke cloud puffing before it began to nosedive. It fell fast, you remarked. It looked like an evasive manuever for a moment, before it plummeted into the earth.
<span class="mu-r"><< Unknown Scorpion #1 >></span>
“Fuck, I can’t get out-!”
<span class="mu-r"><< Unknown Scorpion #2 >></span>
“Saber Three! Say something, punch out, damn it! No, no!”
<span class="mu-r">[KILL CONFIRMED]</span> (+7pts)

“Oh no, dear. Was that your lead? I’m sorry about that, truly. I didn’t see a chute… Such a pity. Be a good girl, and wave off. You’re in <span class="mu-i">our</span> sky now, and you’re looking like an extra payout.”
<span class="mu-r"><< Unknown Scorpion #2 >></span>
“Damn it! God…Alright, alright! Disengaging!”
The remaining enemy dived, and ran for its life. Soon, Raquel had formed back on your wing, and you exchanged a brief glance. The only body language you two shared were your wide eyes and her own calm demeanor.
<span class="mu-g"><< Rose 7 | Barbeau >></span>
“Manfred, are you alright?”
<span class="mu-g"><< Rose 8 | Eugen >></span>
“I’m alive. I don’t know how. Holy hell, I’m alive! Still in one piece, too!”
<span class="mu-g"><< Rose 7 | Barbeau >></span>
“Good, let’s turn for home before more show up.”
It only took fifteen minutes, but it felt like forever. You kept searching around yourself, expecting something to come in, or for Raquel to give another alert. But there was nothing.
<span class="mu-b"><< Valkyrie Tower >></span>
“Valkyrie Tower, tracking two friendly. Clear to land, Rose Flight.”
