F/A-18C Hornet Foxtrot Zulu Zulu; Flight of Three
On Patrol west of the Technate Airfield; Engaging Unresponsive Aircraft
Once the unidentified aicraft finished its conversation with the tower, the three F/A-18C Hornet's engaged. It was a quick affair. All three fired their air-to-air missile compliments at the unidentified aircraft, then engaged what was left over with the appropriate measures. There was a no-fly zone in order, strictly enforced. It had been stated, warned, and stated again. There would be no second chances. Whoever this party was that had joined in the fun clearly had not read up on recent events nor even cared to contribute in any reasonable fashion. They hadn't even had the courtesy to contact the Confederate forces for permission to enter. If they had just lied about being humanitarian...
Six AIM-9 Sidewinder Missiles were launched in quick secession from each Hornet, then the Hornets veered off course to get distance between them and the unidentified aircraft, prepared to launch additional missiles should the first not succeed.
A burst of flares immediately jettisoned out of the back, followed by a thick cloud of chaff and smoke. They had been prepared for this - the crew of Mohawk-7 were experienced smugglers, and had had to dodge their fair share of missiles in their time, especially during the early years of the Territories. The Chinese Government had a price on their heads, but nobody ever claimed it - although many had tried.
"Get those goddamn planes on the radio!" The pilot would scream, banking sharply to avoid the shrapnel. "We're flying neutral flags, even if this is a damned no fly zone those bastards should still be respecting neutrality - this weapons hot no radio in shit is going to spiral all of this out of con-"
"CAPTAIN, WE'VE GOT THEM ON THE LINE" The Radioman would scream from his position behind the pilot's chair.
"Mohawk-7 Actual to Unidentified Hornets, this is Mohawk-7 Actual. We are an unarmed non-military aircraft from a neutral trade state - if we have coopted your airspace by mistake, apologies... WE DIDN'T GET A GODDAMN RADIO BUZZ FROM YOU ASSHOLES!" He growled into the microphone, already continuing evasive maouevers to land on the airstrip. "For the love of God and the power of the Almighty, let us touch down and we can talk on the ground - we surrender or whatever, just stop shooting. There are unarmed civilians on-board here, with families and lives. At least let us get a word out!"
They were flying a genuinely unarmed (beyond the countermeasures they'd had installed specifically with this fear in mind) Airbus Beluga (coopted as part of the Triad Air intiative), and were all genuinely terrified. The pilots of the intercepting aircraft would be able to hear it plain as day.
"Please, we didn't know the situation, don't kill us... PLEASE."
OOC: SORRY! didn't see this reply!

After their survival, the fighters would escort the transport down where they would be allowed to unload.
