Bombshell Genius
Hopefully... hopefully the next sortie will see more progress on the firefighters' part to combat the fire. While, of course, part of the wreck could be smothered, the edges had to be prioritized in the early passes, as is usual when dealing with airborne forest firefighting, so that the second pass of firefighting foams would have to be dropped closer to the center. While the fire burned, it took the oxygen right out of the premises; the column of smoke would be visible for kilometers around Livien Magnus while the Devastator burned, albeit with the width of said column shrinking with more fire retardant being dropped. Also the thermobaric charges detonated before the cardinam was dropped had the effect of pancaking sections of the hull upon detonation, causing the pancaked material to melt upon contact with cardinam. Once the second pass of fire retardant was dropped, the visible area on fire was steadily reducing, and the fire was being contained with the fire retardant on top of it.
"We're being hailed" Julie told Jessica, still strapped to the pilot's seat.
"On screen"
"We're low on fire retardant: we have to get more from other cities" Livien Magnus' fire chief told Jessica.
"Perhaps I should go pilot a Neimoidian Yacht with the fire retardant in its cargo hold"
With that said, Jessica decided that the room dedicated to boarding parties in the cabin could be covered in fire retardant that can be cleaned later: saving the residents of Livien Magnus using a Neimoidian Yacht filled with fire retardant to capacity would be worth getting the inside of that Neimoidian Yacht dirty. And that was going to be dropping several sorties' worth of fire retardant from a squadron of bombers. Once she took off, with the yacht filled with fire retardant, she made haste to fly towards the Devastator's wreck.
