The pair of Defenders on the Zeppelin's Starboard side peeled away suddenly, the damaged one moving slowly enough for the rearmost gunner to see a long, finned cylinder carried under the plane's fuselage. Immediately, the gunner grabbed the weapon pod's hand-powered phone, winding it just enough to last a few seconds, then calling to the bridge as the Defenders leveled out, nearly a kilometre away.<em><strong> "Aerial Torpedo! Aerial Torpedo! Starboard Midsection!"</strong></em><br/><br/>Having reported that fact to the bridge, the gunner strapped in, aiming his guns at the two distant planes, hoping that he'd shoot down the Defender carrying the massive missile before it could launch.
