Officers at their consoles overlap in the frenzy as an alert sounds off.
Officer: General, their shields are down!
C-3PO: Thank the Maker!
Leia: Y/N and Han did it! Send them in!
Admiral Statura: Give Poe full authorization to attack.
Rear Admiral Gulch: Black Leader, go to sub-lights. On your call.
------------------------------------------------
At lightspeed, Poe pilots.
Poe: Roger, base, red squad, blue squad, take my lead.
Nien Nunb pilots and acknowledges the order in his alien language.
Another pilot, Zolo Ziff.
Zolo Ziff: Dropping out of lightspeed.
With concussive blasts, the X-Wings appear and roar past the stars toward the planet that houses Starkiller base.
------------------------------------------------
The crashed falcon rests on the cliffside with two parked TIE fighters and a troop transport vehicle beside it. Several troopers dig through the ship and find a few things. Kylo Ren enters the cockpit and gently grabs hold of the ornament above Han's seat.
With his hands tightly gripped against the seat, Kylo Ren mumbles.
Kylo Ren: Han Solo...
He starts to shudder as the more powerful presence that was once in the room creeps into his mind.
Kylo Ren: Master L/N...
With a start, he turns his head and storms out of the ship out towards the cliff and spies the X-Wings dropping from the sky.
Thye head toward the hexagonal oscillator structure in the distance.
The squad of X-wings dive bomb the Oscillator, the Black One leads.
A.N. (That's the actual name of Poe's ship)
Poe: Almost in range! Hit the target dead center, as many runs as we can get!
Snap: Approaching target.
Nien Nunb acknowledges.
------------------------------------------------
Large explosions on the top of the distance oscillators can be seen through large windows in the control room. Hux moves quickly to see the damage, he turns sharply to a First Order Officer.
General Hux: Dispatch all squadrons...
Colonel Datoo: Yes, General.
------------------------------------------------
Poe: Let's light it up!
The X-Wings all dive straight down, releasing bombs and their ion cannons, hitting it dead center time and time again, one after the other in quick succession.
LT. Bastian: Direct hit!
Ello Asty: But no damage!
Jess reacts.
Poe: Yeah, we gotta keep hitting it! Another bombing run! Remember, when that sun is gone, that weapon will be ready to fire! But as long as there's light, we got a chance.
A beeping from BB-8, riding in the back of his X-wing, and Poe looks out, can't believe what he's seeing: dozens of TIE fighters.
Poe: Guys, we got a lot of company!
