Raulka had been in his cockpit before the Eternal bridge crew had even sent down orders to launch. While many other pilots were lounging around in only half their flight suits, Raulka had been running pre-flight checks as the order came down and the first few ships exited the hanger Raulka manoeuvred his fighter for a clear run at the exit, the unfortunate thing being that their were a half dozen other fighters and bombers in front of him. Listening to what comm chatter he could catch as he waited for his turn to launch He was caught a little of guard as the Eternal seemed to convulse. With nothing but static filling the comm channels now Raulka snapped back to attention, for a few more moments nothing happened aside from the light shudder through the ship. The craft in front of him were speeding up their launches considerably now, whatever was happening with the Eternal no one wanted to stick around to find out what.

There was only one craft ahead of him when the ceiling of the hanger cracked and orange flame began shooting from the opening. the craft in front of him fired its thrusters and Raulka hit his a fraction later, it was a risky manoeuvre to make but he would rather not stay in a hanger that was falling apart. He barely got his wing clear of the fuselage of the craft in front as he passed through the now flickering atmospheric shield and powered out into space. Once he was clear Raulka swung his small raptor fighter around to see what had happened, the visage of the Eternal the greeted him was one he almost didn't believe, at least it explained why communications were down. following protocol and switching to scanning the emergency channels. catching some of the chatter between the primary's and secondarys, Raulka simply signalled raptor primary that he was about and monitoring the channel. Gunning his engines Raulka sped towards the fight, he needed to join up with his wing. After all with the Eternal down, payback sounded like fun.
