reaper will smile. they pay me the big bucks for this exact reason she thinks. "fox two" she'll call, dropping a pair of hi-velocity missiles into the incoming shaheds. "splash one drone" she'll chirp, pulling a 180 turn which makes her vision grey for a second, and heading for the buildings. their faster on the flat, so lets lead em through the financial district. im the only one crazy enough to try it, so lets see how they respond the XM-24's engine howls as she dances through high rises, a shahed will plow into a high-rise, its operator misjudging a turn. two down, 11 more to go, and im rapidly running out of buildings to dance through
reaper will pull an immelman out of the financial district, g-forces pushing her back into the acceleration chair as the reaver will climb, the shaheds following like a pack of hounds after a fox. one shahed will get a hair too close, but the drone operator was either excited or itchy on the trigger finger. the resulting blast shakes reapers teeth, but aside from scratched paint, no appreciable damage was caused. thats my dogfight luck gone she thinks, hitting the afterburners to blind the shaheds sensors while pulling a corkscrew maneuver to get behind the drones and open up with the medium gunpod. with black spots dotting her vision shell spray bullets at the shaheds, cutting a few of them down. The remainder will decelerate, attempting to cut reaper down like an executioner. reaper will pull a barrel roll, putting her dangerously close to G-LOC (gravity induced loss of consciousness)
clinging to awareness like a drowning man clings to driftwood, reaper will ask for a little assistance from lotus squadron, which hurts her pride, but survival is more important than trivial things like killing drones by yourself. reaper had learned that the hard way after bailing out over Afghanistan after being lit up by a zsu. three days of dodging mujh in Kandahar had been enough for her, and she wasnt gonna repeat it, especially not in a full-fledged SNAFU like this. reaper will play the delaying game, buyjng time to regain her composure. she'll snaffle a drone when its operator makes a mistake, but that puts her in a bind as the seven remaining drones will charge her, hoping to blow this merc out of the skies for good. thankfully, a little gunpod work and some skill puts the rest of the shaheds out of commission "still got it" reaper purrs contentedly, like a cat who just bagged a very annoying mouse and dropped it at the owners feet
