Defending Qyah

"The SOLG has fallen to an altitude low enough for you to attack. I know you can do this. Destroy it!"

--AWACS Oka Nieba, Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War; Mission 29+/The Unsung War (opening quote)

Defending Qyah is a chapter in When the Cold Breeze Blows Away. In this chapter, the Northern Lights Squadron try to defend Qyah from the SOLG Terror Destroyer that's bound to hit the town while also facing the Loki Squadron and the Odin Squadron of the Belkan Grey Men at the same time, only to have backup from the Schwarze Panther Squadron of the Black Egrets and the Valkyrie Squadron of Filia Medici.

AWACS Denali would help out the Northern Lights Squadron too.

===Qyah Village School; June 20th, 2025; 1900 hours (Denalian Standard Time); 0000 hours GMT We were sitting on desks in a classroom of the Qyah Village School. Molly Mabray, Tooey Ookami, Trini Mumford, Oscar Marsh, Vera Malakas and Jake are sitting there too. I'm doing the same, but the same teacher, Renate Marsh, came in for briefing by using a projector, her chalkboard and a rod.

"At ease, children... but don't get too comfortable. It's a grave situation for all of us right now. Let's get this briefing started," said Mrs. Marsh with attention. She turns on the projector to show an Ace Combat-styled briefing screen showing the map of Denalia for a sortie.

"The SOLG Terror Destroyer's descent was detected by our radar at 2145 hours. We believe it was programmed to automatically descend if control was ever cut off from the surface. We have calculated the SOLG Terror Destroyer's course of descent from its previous orbit. Its estimated landing point is in the vicinity of Tiritchik, a town located a little far from Qyah. Get to the SOLG Terror Destroyer's descent point as quickly as possible, and destroy it before it hits Qyah. You must complete the mission, and come back alive. Anything less is not acceptable. Northern Lights, we wish you the best of luck. Launch," briefed Mrs. Marsh.
