The jets came at the airship, streaking through the air.

The airship was even more massive up close. The eloganted behemoth was something out of a steampunk novel, with mounted machine guns on the sides of it's top that could shoot both laterally and up into the air, and three large cannons extending out from it's belly, ready to rain down death. The belly of it was armored against ground fire, and the whole zeppelin was a mix of dark grays and blacks. It was very intimidating.

The Outsiders' HUDs lit up as Deborah began locking onto the target, a different portion of the aircraft highlighted for each fighter.

Then, just as she was about ready and they were moving into perfect engagement range, twelve objects dropped off the airship's belly and began a path to intercept them. They were Vertbirds, painted gunmetal with the Brotherhood of Steel insignia stamped on them.

"Twelve enemy aircraft at, uh, twelve o'clock." Deborah told them. Bright flashs of light was emitted from the sides of each Vertibird and a moment later gunfire was whistling past them.

"Intiating evasive manuvers!" The jets all broke off from their formation into a wild, death-defying spins, as the 7.62mm rounds of Vulcan minigun flew.

"Pick your targets!" The Outsider's could feel the lock on their thrusters lessen-- Deborah was handing some control back to them.

Two Vertibirds peeled off after Ward, another two after Tim, another two after William, and everyone else had one on their tail. This mission had just got a lot more complicated. They'd need to survive and kill the Vertibirds, whilst the destroying the airship, and not die.
