They had started their decent, despite Keith's reservations after his visit to the surface with Shiro the other day. Everything about this whole thing felt wrong on so many levels, and Keith had those damn feelings of dread back again that had come with the dreams. Don't land. Run away. Help. And it was making him super agitated. His reluctance to go back to the surface ended up with the Huntress towards the back of the group that was heading down... which ended up being to their advantage when the weapons fire started. He gave a started yell, and immediately pushed the ship to max. The Fleet scattered in an attempt to get cover and/or escape. On the nav sensors, Keith could see other ships going down, but he was focused on getting his own out of the atmosphere first.

It was a bumpy ride. Sorry. But, he was doing his best. The incoming attacks were strong and hard to dodge, each volley stronger than the last. They took some fire, but it wasn't crippling damage, thankfully, and the ship managed to dodge and climb its way back into orbit.

It had been another run for their lives... and Keith leaned heavily on the console for a moment before remembering seeing those other ships going down.

"Quiznak," he growled, hitting the comm to open a channel. It was bad. Really bad. He wasn't even sure if this was going to get through, but he sure as heck was going to try.

Hello? Is anyone there? Everyone, check in. What ships are still up? Who's on the sur-? AAUGH!

[He was working hard to keep the panic from his tone, but the screech cut him off mid-broadcast, and then everything went dark, the ship dropping to only emergency functions. He listened hard for a response before finally saying something again.]

Anyone?

He looked over at the comm to see if there was anything coming through. His own console was completely unresponsive. Did he look worried? Because he was worried.

"I got nothing... we're drifting."

And not in the good 'moving to another planet' way...

Keith - Keith! Is everyone all right on your ship?

[There is the silent 'wahwah' of the emergency sounds coming through, and Tyrion coughs a little.]

I don't know if everyone else is all right on my ship -- but I am continuing to breath. Mostly.

Eleanor Hume, reporting from the Wonderduck. We've taken heavy damage, but we're still drifting. What's your--

[There's a moment of panic when the broadcast cuts off and the emergency sirens sound. This is bad, moreso than normal, and Eleanor can tell.]

Can you hear me?

[Well shit, Kaname knows this one! He should recognize the voice, not panicking, but definitely in business mode.]

Keith? It's Kaname. Wha-- [Some static, so she waits and tries again.] What's your status?

[Mikleo isn't much use on the bridge overall - can't pilot, can't fix equipment, can't make adjustments for communication - but he can check radar screens and give the bridge and extra pair of eyes to watch what's going on outside, so he's there throughout the duration of the attack. As the ship stutters and fails, he approaches the nearest console, poking at some buttons to try and trigger a restart. It's better than just standing there.]

Not good... I do not want a repeat of what happened last time.

Voice.

[It's after Eleanor manages to make contact- and after the horrible sirens have stopped blaring in the Wonderduck that Lumière makes an appearance. ]

Are you hurt? Or any of your crew?

[Priorities. ]
