Operation Grave Robber/Transcript

== Retribution ==
==== Briefing ====
A map showing SDF salvage operations near Pluto is shown.
Reyes: The Front have been salvaging parts from a scrapyard outside Pluto. They have one Destroyer and a small Skelter squadron on station. We deploy now, we can hit the ships and commandeer that salvage. We need all the scrap we can get.
==== Jackal Launch ====
Reyes climbs in his Jackal, puts on his helmet and starts it up. The Jackal is prepared for launch.
Salter: This could put a dent in our scrap issues.
Reyes: That's what it's come down to.
Salter: We can't let SetDef hold back our resources.
Reyes: I don't think they'll be sharing anytime soon.
Salter: Roger that.
Gator: Captain, SDF Skelters have already set up a perimeter, expect contact the minute we punch in.
Reyes: Roger. Any intel on the scrapyard?
Gator: Lots of debris, not a lot of space for aerial maneuvers.
Salter: Sounds like fun.
ATC Mini Boss: SCARs, tower advises caution while maneuvering through wreckage.
Reyes: 1-1, check.
Salter: 1-2, check.
ATC Mini Boss: SCAR-1s you're good to go.
Reyes: Copy that.
ATC Mini Boss: Launch in 3, 2, 1...
The Jackals launch and proceed to the target.
== Gameplay ==
Salter: SetDef Destroyer at 12. We're visual.
Reyes: Retribution, hold up. SCARs will take it from here.
Gator: Roger that, sir, good hunting.
Salter: Let's get in there, Raider.
Reyes: Skelters are primary. We thin the herd and target that Destroyer.
Salter: Copy. 1-2 is weapons free.
They begin to engage the Skelters, taking down a few.
Reyes: Skelters are thinning out, keep hitting 'em!
Salter: My pleasure.
They continue engaging the Skelters until only a few remain.
Salter: Couple stragglers left.
Reyes: Let's mop 'em up.
They eliminate all the Skelters. Two A-Jaks jump in.
Gator: Be advised, multiple Ajaks inbound.
Reyes: Solid copy. Let's get evil, Salt.
Salter: Roger, evil. Weapons loose.
Reyes destroys an A-Jak.
Reyes: Got 'em!
Salter: Nice shot, Raider.
The other A-Jak is destroyed.
Reyes: Ajak down.
Salter: Good effect. Target destroyed!
Gator: Focus fire on the Destroyer, they can't get away.
Reyes: Roger. SCARs, focus fire on that Destroyer.
Salter: Get guns on those turrets!
The SCARs take out the destroyer.
Reyes: Good kill, good kill!
Salter: SetDef Destroyer down.
Reyes: Nice work, squad. Gator, how's radar lookin'?
Gator: Sector's almost clear. Heads up for an Ace fighter in the battle-zone.
Salter: Take him, Raider.
Reyes: Engaging.
Reyes eliminates the Ace.
Salter: Splash, one Ace! Solid, Raider.
Gator: Good shooting, sir! Picture is clear. All SDF vessels have been eliminated. Good shooting out there, SCARs.
Reyes: Relay to STRATCOM and get a salvage team in here.
Salter: Good call, Reyes. UNSA needs every bit of this.
Reyes: Let's get in the net, SCARs.
Reyes begins approaching the Retribution.
Reyes: Ret, SCARs are on approach.
Gator: Copy, all yours tower.
ATC Mini Boss: You're clear for landing.
Reyes approaches the runway.
ATC Mini Boss: Stand by for drone lock.
Reyes: Flaps, gears out, ready for baton.
The drone attaches to Reyes' Jackal and slows it down.
Salter: Nice work out there, Reyes.
Reyes: You too, Salt.
The Jackals are recovered by Retribution.
== Aftermath ==
Reyes ascends the elevator to the bridge deck.
Crewman: Be an honor to fly combat air patrol with you sometime, sir.
==== Crew Discussion ====
Crewman 1: And they were getting iced left and right! And Skelter pilots everywhere, man!
Crewman 2: Yeah. They stitched up the hull of that destroyer pretty quick too.
Crewman 1: You think Captain Reyes is feeling the pressure?
Crewman 2: Nah, Captain knows how to secure an objective. He and Lieutenant Salter have been flying together forever.
==== Bridge ====
Gator: Another job well done, sir. Potential operations on-screen when you're ready.
