<Oh I'll be fine. These things are huge, which makes it easy to navigate them once you get close>

((the scale sais 40 meters, so really once you grabbed unto them, I have no idea why the one jet attacking ICARUS did not hit the jet ICARUS was on. I mean, what's the mechanics here? The jet1 attacked and jet 2 made a dodge roll, and if he dodges, then clearly he also moved ICARUS out of the way. No need for ICARUS to dodge enemy fire if the jet she is on is already dodging it. Look at the design of the jet, if you hide between these side-panels at the back, there is no angle of attack that would hit ICARUS without also hitting the jet. ICARUS only has to dodge if jet 2 is not even trying to dodge jet 1s incoming fire, because these things are so gigantic compared to ICARUS, if jet 2 is failing to dodge because he only made it 3 meters to the side, ICARUS is alreay out of harms way, while jet 2 still gets hit. I am serious, if jet 1 wants to hit ICARUS, jet 2 literaly has to stand still and take everything that is coming towards it. The sheer size difference is a huge advantage for the PCs here. Also I doubt the jet has weapons that can actually aim at it's own engines, so jet 1 is not going to hit ICARUS either. That btw, was the entire point of the combat strategy. Use enemy size to your own advantage. A fighter jet needs a minimum amount of distance between him and the enemy to be able to fight. At melee range, they are entirely disarmed))

<That's... That's good then> Alice paused before sending to ICARUS privately <If... If your body was destroyed would you still be... be in your world?>

<No need to be worried about me, really. Compared to me, those jets are so last decade. And everybody else is doing fine as well.>

<That mana sucking plating is kinda annoying though. Nuriel seems a bit in a spot of bother, without the fire.>

 <Killing people is the best part in IRIS. I take sport in it.>
Bartimaeus's phone rings after he gets the SAM turret.
 <Shit, I gotta' take this...>

Bartimaeus puts the phone up to his shadow-man ear and sighs before putting on a female voice.
 "Hey sweetie, how was work?" she talks in the phone, tapping her finger against a metal railing, "You got promoted? That's great, sweetie."

The Second Jet dodged. That's why it wasn't hit. Icarus, I rolled just for laughs. She would have dodged if Fighter 2 dodged anyways. These jets are just like VTOLS by the way. They can fight at long or short range. Just don't expect them to use kinetic weapons (expect a few missiles though.))
