Roxanne's actions were spot on, but the shift to Guardian caused a short in the stealth technology, and suddenly the entire mecha was visible. The Zeta sounded the alarm and immediately 3 Bartolls Joined it in pursuit of the now visible Valkyrie. The big Gundam transformed and put on speed, and even with afterburners full on, It was catching up, blue flames driving it forward at over mach 4.

(OOC Time for initiative rolls if you guys want to do anything. As it stands only Roxanne has been found, though the base is now on alert.)

"Shit!" Conrad hissed as the events lower down unfolded. "Risky, get out, I'll lower down and see about getting behind those chasing Fate." Saying so, and having cut about sharply, he began to slowly descend to behind the Bartolls and Gundam.

Gordan swore as the Gundam lifted off and swung around behind the craft chasing Roxy, lining up for a shot up the tail pipes of the Gundam.

Without Stealth tech Conrad's maneuver immediately made him show up on the Bartoll's sensors, the Gundam and Roxy already making haste. Two of the robots dropped back to pincer him, while the other three followed the gundam. Gordan followed hard behind the three, before Risky dopped in front of them, gaining their attention. This left Roxy being pursued solely by the Zeta.

Conrad sighed and hit the controls for his weapons, causing the guided missiles to hurtle through the air towards one of his targets.

Missiles impacted all across the bartoll, blowing off an arm, but more telling, it's right leg and the thruster within. Deprived of half its thrust, the heavy mecha began plummeting downward ending with a thunderous explosion.

The other Opened up with light autocannons raking them across Conrad's position, butting several holes in his right wing which caused the warning lights t scream and demand attention as several controls for the wing became non-responsive.

The Zeta Fired off a blast from its beam cannon even as it picked up speed. The blast seared the left wingtip of Roxanne's Valkyrie, but didn't interfere with its flight.

Roxy pushed the throttle as hard as she could hoping to squeeze another MPH out of the Valkyries afterburner, her flight instincts had taken over dodging with uncanny skill the barrages of the Zeta. Yet the damned Mecha was closing in and she had to make a decision unless she would get shot to pieces sooner or later.

Damnitdamnitdamnit! THINK Roxy!...

Using the Valkyries thrusters Roxy made a hard turn away from HQ picking a random vector to the north. According to her maps there was an island with some mountain formations, maybe she could shake off her pursuer there.

(ooc: tell me if you need any rolls – I’ll add them in a spoiler)

Risky fired a full salvo, both of missiles and her autocannon. The Bartoll she attacked exploded in a ball of fire, as one turned to engage her, and the other chased after Gordan.

(Gordan you're up there are 3 bartolls left pus the Zeta.)

Gordan lit into one of the Bartols, his autocannon nearly bisecting it before it could do anything and then he took off after the Zeta.

The remaining pair of bartolls went after Conrad, who managed to dodge the fire, and Risky, who lost an arm as a lucky hit destroyed the upper servo assembly on her machine's left arm.

(Conrad you're up there is one more turn before the Gundam catches up to Fate.)
