BoS control tower: OK. Get moving!

Jay: Launch in five... four... three... two... one... Launch!

WROOOM!
( Five minutes later over Hunt Valley )
Jay: Nothing unusual. Hey, wait a sec what's that?

Suddently bolts of fire shreak past and one of them hits inflicting heavy damage to Jay's MPF.

Jay: BoS control tower, do you read me? We've got a OEEP infiltration in Hunt Valley. BoS control...

Suddendly Jay notices that the radio has been damaged.

Jay: Oh hell, I've got to take care of this myself. Let's see...

MPF's targetting computer: Inferno missiles armed. Target locked. Fire one.
Jay watches as the missile flies down into the valley.

( at Hunt Valley )
DarkAngel: A missile? What an idiot...

Seeker: Uh, how is that?

DarkAngel: Watch this.
A hideous shriek as more bolts of fire fly up into the skies and hit the missile.
The missile explodes harmlessly in midair.

Jay: Uh huh. Better head home before I'm forced to crashland.

Five seconds later the left-side motor coughs and drops out of the action.

Jay: Damn! I knew they were good, but this... We better get all forces mobilized and wipe them out.

( Eleven minutes later Jay ejects from his badly beaten plane and lands into BoS HQ )

Jay: Clearly something has to be done. Gotta report this to Talon and Imran.Uh.
