What I'd planned for Jet and the Panzer Kunst is that as a gruppe they're attending SerenityCon. Only a few trainees and half the AR's are left behind the hold the fort at Grunthal. They're interested in the cybertech, and to see if there's any Battle Angel Aliita stuff in the WFC.... like the berserker body details. How to shoot plasma.... any actual Panzer Kunst information and techniques... Jet's also asked to seek out AC and take care of some technical negotiations for system repairs and upgrades, since they know each other.
Jet also partakes of some of the martial arts panels, and hopes to meet Ford Sierra for some.... personal time. This is about the time they realise they care more about each other than the 'just friends' level.
The Engel Gruppe are doing a vacuum demonstration of their skills in orbit, showing just what they can do. Max Armblessed is the Engel's leader at this stage. They're halfway through their display routine when the first missile salvo launches. Max has them intercept the missiles, and try to knock as many of them out as possible. It's not a suicide mission....not by any means, hit the missiles hard enough and they just run out of control and either inert themselves with their built safeties, or just disintegrate through the G-Forces from the impact.
Max, and two other Engels are killed.... they time it too late and get caught in the warhead's detonation. Jet is the only one who has the updated encryption codes, so finds herself the single point of contact between the Engels and what's beginning to be a defence coordination.
Jet continues with Max's missile intercept plan... not sure of what else to do... until she receives clear orders to hit knocking out Boskonian dropships. Jet is somewhat panicky and is somewhat startled and overwhelmed... but is able to at least keep enough common sense to act as a relay, before eventually settling down and doing well enough that she's considered for taking Max's place (And does at the end of October). By the end, Jet's coordinating the Gruppe on a long grind of Smash and run.
When it's all over but the cleaning up of the debris, Jet's still in orbit, battered and scorched, with her blades destroyed and her the engines in her feet all but trashed from repeated impacts. One of her arms is duct-taped, there's a few obvious spots of JB-weld on her body and she's lost her helmet somewhere in the confusion much like Captain Kirk tends to loose his shirt. The other Engels are in much the same condition...
Ford Sierra in her truck... with quick technical modification.... pulls up. "Need a lift?"
Meanwhile, the Kammer Gruppe are fighting the ground war to allow time for evacuees, and probably having their own heroics.
It's where Jet first comes to most of Fenspace' attention..... and where herself and the Engel gruppe get Zig medals for stopping a good chunk of the first salvo. (It's mentioned in the shadowrunning story as a stupid plan, but one that worked... so not stupid)
Got to remember. Jet's a front-liner... right at the teeth of the attack, and then right at the teeth of the response. Not in command... not by a long shot. It's also the beginning of Jet's six months of hell.... the stuff that'll give her nightmares for the rest of her life.
