Less than twenty minutes later, the stragglers appeared on the ship radar as on final approach. =^=Sehlat to Olinski, returning to bay. Request clearance for landing.=^= She knew Apex was behind her and Ric would come in last to be sure everyone was safe and secure. Like a mother hen clucking everyone under cover for the night, he also won out on arguments with Xandra about how he should be the first in since he was more important. Watching him swing wide from the front of the formation, she slowed to approach speed and awaited her clearance to land.

“Sehlat”

“Request granted, Sehlat,” came the reply from CIC. Put the birds to rest. Captain wants to warp out as soon as everybody is home and snuggled in tight for the night.”

The last three fighters landed and the flight crews immediatel began getting them ready for their next time out.

Climbing out of his bird, Ric’s boots hit the ground as he tossed his helmet back into the cockpit. He trotted over to Xandra’s bird and waited for her at the base of the ladder. Looking up, he said, “You’re getting kinda cocky for someone with no . . . .” he paused and looked around before letting that thought drop. “You just might end up getting yourself some extra sim time for that attitude, Miss Sassy-pants”

Ricochet (CAG)

Xandra landed her bird and waited for the flight crew to tap her down before popping the top to get out. Seeing Ric at the bottom of the ladder, she laughed. “Sim time? Seems to me last time we were in the Sims,someone got turned around backwards when nav went down.” Most times it was her who got flustered and wound up screwed up in a simulation. But last time, it has been Ric’s turn and his girlfriend wasn’t going to let him love it down.

She laughed and set her helmet by her seat before nodding to him. “You gonna back up so I can get down of this bag?” Turning around she began descending the ladder without waiting for his response.

OOC: Does the Pattern Charlie also affect the fighters?

GM

OOC: They are ordered to form away from the main formation and be prepared to harass the enemy should it move. Maybe behind the starbase or further out on the flanks.

Once again, Ricochet had the fighters squads in position. Red and Blue squads had orders to harass the Breen ships with hit-and-run tactics, while Green and Gold squads orders were to provide air support to the Tholian web spinners while they did their job.

=^=Olinski, this is Ricochet. Fighter squads are in position and ready to engage the enemy. Ready to defend Tholian Spinners and attack Breen ships. Just waiting on your green light.=^=

Ricochet (CAG)

=^=CAG , this is the XO, leave a light coverage on the starboard wing. Mass and overwhelm the small unit and then take the larger.=&= It was a well known tactic to mass your forces to counter a superior number… which the Breen didn’t have in either case… so for them splitting their number was tactical suicide.

Kolar.

The banter with Ric in the hanger had been short lived. With a quick chaste kiss on her cheek, he had given orders. Moments later, she and Gold Squad were hovering over the masses of other fighters waiting to provide support as needed. She hoped Ric was staying out of the mess. Technically he could be out there with them. As CAG he belonged to no particular squadron. But she knew he had been itching for more than sim kills and was probably on Khev’s wing waiting for one of the Breen to twitch so he could toggle on his FIRE button.

After a brief comms check, Xandra sent word to the Oli that they were in position to support the Spinners as needed.
