Vladimir is shocked by the events that have just unfolded, never in his training and combat experience over his past 37 years on the planet has he fought such a potent foe. Vladimir grits his teeth, and thinks about his options. He contacts Rozhkov over the broadband, and consults him.

"Listen Rozkhov, the advantages of this aircraft are steeply in their favor. However we must look around and find the weakness of this aircraft. The Despair an AI which is flawless, so I doubt any tricks we've done before will work. We must think outside the box.

'''The Despair also has tiny maneuverable missiles. The missiles seem to be valnurable to our weaponry, so if the Despair launches another volley, just shoot hem down with the gatling guns. Then we come to the extremely long range laser... This weapon poses the gravest threat to us. However like I said before... We must think outside the box, what is something unconventional that the AI will not be expecting? I assume since the AI is built for dogfighting, and knows every trick and maneuver, we could perhaps catch it off guard with an unconventional attack."'''

The two fly on. Rozkhov remains silent, pondering the quesion. However before he could make a proper response, the Despair, which had been flying far infront of them, had disapeared. The two pilots look around, Despair nowhere to be found. "Where did he g-" Vladimir started to say, but then he spots the Despair making a high angle ambush attack from the rear, firing more volleys of micro missiles. The two break formation and head off in opposite directions. They both fire they're gatling guns, destroying many of the missiles. Despair rockets past, and makes a wide circle back towards them.

"Rozkhov, I'm going to dive down and hopefully distract him."

Just as that, Vladimir pitches and dives down to the ground, the orange Despair takes the bait and follow Vladimir. Rozhkov, trails behind at a safe distance, thinking through his options.
