				(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2a/SDF-1_Macross_Ship_Small.jpg)<br>The crew of the battle-fortress had begun the process of making the interior of the ship livable for the civilians, with their Veritech squadrons hastily put on high alert now that the ship is past Pluto. So far, there has been no attacks from the alien forces since the battle of Macross Island...But the question about the attack is not if, but when.<br><br>For the Vanguard Squadron's twelve pilots, the tense situation means that they're now Alert 1, the first wave out to meet any hostile forces. So their makeshift mess hall is right next to one of the Veritech launch hangars.<br>Squadron leader is Flight Lieutenant Peter Cross, a veteran of the Global War and former Skull Squadron pilot.<br>(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yR82NL7kRFs/UOlLF58o0ZI/AAAAAAAAIow/w9PFAoDOYnE/s640/Kaji+Ryoji.jpg)<br><br>The rest of the team, with the exception of our heroes are Mogura Hideo, Andrew McMillan, Alexander Sterling, Jenna Garfield, Nikita Aleksov, Jorgen Hansen and&nbsp; Liu Xiang. All of them rookies fresh off the academy, who had the bad fortune of being stationed aboard the Daedalus when the attack came.<br><br>

He leaned over with closed eyes as the steam of the rice and sausage gravy hit his face. The young man was tired, which showed as he straightened his posture, and stifled a long yawn. Making his way into the pilot's mess, he finds a seat and digs in. He had his flight suit on, helmet and gear sitting in the ready room as he stuffed himself. Once done, he pondered the merits of catching a quick nap before something happened.

It took a slight shove of someone walking past to break her back into reality. She looks around the mess hall spotting the other pilots in a variety of other activities -resting, eating, exercising, gun maintence...nothing out of the ordinary giving the situation they were in.<br><br>She pulls out the buds from her ears and tucks it into her pocket realising just how hungry she was and starts tucking into the rice and gravy on her plate. Her eyes lift from her plate as she spots Javier putting a crate down on the table and a slight smile comes to her face hearing the sound of glass bottles clink inside it. <strong>"Javier...you read my mind."</strong> She reaches for the bottle from his hand and pops the top off.<br><br>&nbsp; </span></div>

				He shook his head at the big guy's offer.<br>"No thanks. Though, nice of you to offer."<br>Before he can sit back once more though, the alarm system blares into life. And the nice, yellow light of their mess hall turns an annoying red. Lieutenant Cross getting to his feet in an instant.<br>"Alright squad! Suit up and get to your birds! Until we know more, this is not a drill!"<br><br>With the veritechs launched, the Vanguard is divided into three flights with four planes each, with Javier, Skids, Del and Jennifer in First Wing.<br><strong>"Alright, command has reported enemy ships coming in at grind Alpha.

The pre-combat chatter goes on around him, and he continues to attack the food he has packed away. Some mumbling that sounds like pleasure, either at the food or the oncoming fight as he races up into the cockpit of his fighter, strapping his helmet on.

Exhilaration always flooded through him at the speed of the Veritechs, and from what he'd seen thus far they were far faster than the enemy's bouncing pods. <br><br>"One egg, about to get hard boiled!" For a moment Skids considered firing a quartet of missiles, but at the last moment opted for a pair. <br><br>"I have tone." he reported to his wing mates as he heard the steady beep of his missile lock in his ear. A short range armor piercing missile launched from each wing and streaked towards the enemy battle pod. As they went on their course, he glanced briefly to ensure that his equipment was taking all data as to the missiles and the pod they were targeting. Then, his gloved and closed ever so slightly tighter on the stick as he prepared to fire more missiles at the escorts before closing in to gun range.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header"> Attack 1 of 6</div><div class="spoiler_body">15 to hit.

Then like Jennifer predicted nine of them goes after Skids, the remaining two sticking with the unknown pod that veers to turn back and head in the direction they came.

One of the battle pod escorts had apparently sacrificed itself and placed itself between the missiles and the unknown pod that Skids had fired at.&nbsp; Slightly miffed, he was quickly placated by the fact that this did in fact confirm the other pod was important.<br><br>"Well, that pod is definitely important, did you see that!?" he asked into the comms as the frenzy of activity began. As missiles were let loose Skids put the agile fighter through its paces and saw the large majority of the pods coming after him.&nbsp; <br><br>"Oh yeah, they're a little upset! Look at that!" he says with a mix of wide eyed glee and youthful wonder as he inches the throttle the tiniest bit, to ensure the mystery pod cannot out pace him and then, launches two more missiles at the recon pod. There was no hope of any of the pods coming close to a Veritech's speed but, there was no need to go all out and get too far ahead. Bait was one thing, carelessness another.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header"> Attack 2 of 6</div><div class="spoiler_body">20 (not natural) </div></div><br>&nbsp;"HOT DOG!! Well, this should make our job easier he crows as 9 pods suddenly converge to give him chase, causing him to peel off.<br><br>"Idiots." he mutters happily. "Well guys, looks like the pod is wide open for you all." The mysterious pod suddenly undefended, Skids cuts an evasive route that will bring him closer to the SDF without bee lining it. No need to completely give away his intent to the battlepods. <br><br>"I'm gonna see if these guys like the numbers when they run into the main body. Or if they rather protect that weird pod." With that, he prepared for some fancy flying.

Jen's voice barked over the comm, as she pushed the throttle down, grinning like a madwoman at the sudden surge of acceleration that pushed her back in her seat for a moment, putting the fighter into a sharply banked turn that brought her out behind and below the pursuing pods, a feral grin of satisfaction on her face.&nbsp; <em>Sorry, you lot, but these are my orders.&nbsp; Time to die a glorious burning death!</em><br><br>"Change of plans, Javier."&nbsp; Jen swore, shaking her head with a grimace.&nbsp; "Break right, go after the runners.&nbsp; They cannot get away under any circumstances.&nbsp; Weapons free, weapons free!"&nbsp; With that, she ran the targeting system up, and fired once... twice...&nbsp; Two missiles streaking off after the two pods closest to Skids.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">71 and 02 on my Weapon Systems rolls to target lock and launch those missiles.</div></div>
