Good. The Squadron looked to be in serious fighting shape for this sortie. Perhaps it will be a good hunt, then? Her thoughts to herself were her main companion as she piloted her suit, as they had been for so long after the war. Her sensor eye scans the immediate area, taking in the flight of AEUG suits, and then comparing to the oncoming wing. The number disparity was quite large, and the range of weapons the suits had also would prove to be an issue perhaps. Tomimi had an inkling that these pilots were going to set up to stall their force so the 'zook units could let loose from the rear, likely going for their home ship. Clever bastards, or she was overthinking it. Either way, her own mind was already laying out a plan...
"Longshot, range out and try to keep those bazooka units from getting clean shots, or scrap them if possible. We don't want to lose the Hawthorne here. Vandam, Abel, I want you two as the van here, punch through those CQC Jims and get through to the zooks. Reyson, I want you to act as the reserve and rear guard, hold back and keep any from slipping past, and provide what support you can from here. I'll act as heavy support with my Beam Bazooka, and failing that I'll swing through to provide close in support. Understood? Quintzem Squad, get to it!"
All the while, the enemy suits were far out of most weapons ranges, save for the beam sniper that Valentine had, and to a lesser extent the large beam bazooka that Tanzi had on her Rick Dom and the smaller missiles on Vandam's Hizack. Much to that effect, she swivels her vernier thrusters and jets up out of the formation, the large rectangular weapon beginning to arc and crackle from the barrel. Odds were the Jims would begin firing their own bazookas at this range too, but the advantage of the beam launcher was the speed was far higher then that of a rocket. Casually, she locks onto one of the lead suits, although such an aiming tool was built for capital ships and therefor was almost useless against mobile suits, in a surprise it just might let her take one out without much effort. In an instant, the weapon belches a sickly yellow beam into the distance, slipping through the black void of space and leaving a rapidly fading trail off to the Titan formation...
