Anya banked her fighter hard enough to feel the G's even thought the inertial dampers were functioning just so she could burn another of the lazed anti-proton towers with the pulse phaser cannon on the nose of the fighter. Bringing her fighter around for another pass she barely managed to visually ID the smoking heap of slag that had been the tower. She wasn't alone in targeting the anti-proton towers by a long shot though each flight of Lancers had bagged at least three towers and it was beginning to tell. Sensors were beginning to work again at least as much as this icy hellhole would allow.
Canna III had been a real pain in the ass to deal with three years ago and it just went to show that nothing really changed with time. At least not here anyway. She was interrupted from her thoughts by a comm channel from Two Flight, more specifically it's flight lead and her XO. "Go ahead Five." She said as she opened the channel.
"Lead, most of the towers are down. Anti-air is at virtually zero. Even so we still cant see worth a damn and if we try and support our ground forces we're likely to have a blue on blue scenario." First Lieutenant David Lanner said loudly due to the comm interference.
Anya shuddered at the mention of a blue on blue. It was the definition of one allied unit firing on another allied unit due to the fog of war effect where due to flawed intel, faulty judgement or even some overworked ATC mixing up some coordinates. Anya knew what the aftermath of such an incident looked like, the Solrin War definitely wasn't an easy one. "I agree with you Five. Much as I wish we could be of more use here we're flying blind. Any strafing runs on a likely target and we'll likely kill one of our own. I'll give the order to bug out."
"Rodger that lead. Five out." David said as he cut the comm channel.
Anya was about to open the channel to all the operation fighters when she had another comm transmission this time from First Lieutenant Narvel Tenoro the trill pilot of Sun God the unit's AWACS. "Captain we've got a major problem up here with one of the Romulan Troop Transports."
"What is it Sun God. Patch it through to me on the combat data stream." Anya replied. Her main screen filled with an image of large panels opening up on the underside of the transport. "What am I looking at Sun God?"
The image on her monitor zoomed in on one of the open recesses behind a panel. Sun God answered back quietly. "Your looking at our worst fear Captain."
As the image finally stabilised Anya got a good look at what was in the recess. "Holy shit...a Scorpion Two..."
