Night falls, but there's little sleep to be had.

6:02 P.M., partly cloudly skies.

The MDA is still recovering from a brutal strike just this morning, conducted by several Scourge Jets, particularly Red Dash-Strikes. They've already begun repairing everything in the base, but the SCOURGE clearly had other intentions, continuing to send Red Dash-Strikes and Red Turners throughout the evening, along with a few D-variant Red Opponents. Luckily though, some brave sentinels kept the Scourge Jets at bay as the sun went down.

The final fleeting sunrays illuminate the sky as an I-100 Centurion is in pursuit of a Red Dash-Strike.

The Dash-Strike under fire from MDA aircraft doesn't last long, taking a direct hit from the I-100's missile and exploding.

Another Dash-Strike destroyed by KPLBall-built aircraft, the same F-63E seen earlier as a matter of fact.

An LF-4 glows from the explosion of a now downed Red Turner. Interesting little fact: Normal, base LF-4s were used in this operation, whilst the previous strike on Yeager saw Maximum Takeoff Load (MTOL) Aerojets fighting. Strange.

Another Red Turner is shredded by gunfire from a Crestelian SK-3.

A few seconds before the F-63E scores the final victory of the night, downing a Red Opponent D and sending a message for any other Scourge Jets to retreat.

After a day of turmoil and a night of danger, all MDA aircraft return to base without taking a single loss. Here the LF-4 flies by the nightfall before preparing to land.

The I-100 also flies by the rising moon following the battle.

Ultimately, the mission to protect Yeager was, at least this time, a success. One of the SK-3's WSO also noted that Scourge Jets seem to struggle at night fighting, which may prove to be an important detail in the future...

Summary

Of today's events:

-More Scourge Jets attempt to attack Yeager following a strike this morning
-A group of MDA aircraft work together through the evening to repel the Scourge Jets
-Come nightfall, the MDA aircraft emerge victorious- and lossless.
