As Alan and Bigs begin to move out across the opening of the intersection, Alan catches a glimpse of movement from above; just enough to be able to give warning as six Invid Soldiers lean over the edge of the upper level and fire on the two of you! Thanks to your keen eyesight, you both have your full modifiers to make a dodge roll.
Swearing at herself for not paying enough attention, Bigs does her best to slew her Alpha to the side and avoid getting hit, calling out, "Heads up! We have company!"

Jake caught himself cheerfully whistling within his own cockpit, off comms, as the glint of weaponry catches his eyes. With a measured adjustment on the stick, he aims to drift out of the path of fire without slamming into Bigs' Alpha.
"Copy that. Jake, Bigs, pull them to us." He ordered over the radio. This was what he was expecting. "Let's see how they like getting ambushed in their own tunnels."
"Beta's, don't shoot unless you got a clear shot. When you have a clear shot, fire at will."
"Drew, keep your eyes peeled. We can get flanked any moment in these tunnels." Time to see how well the invid could operate. They had impressive sensors, and they know doubt knew there was some force here. And they could detect humans a lot easier than we can detect them. He was relying quite a bit on Andrew here, because Viktor was expecting an attack from behind. Its what he would do in this situation.
Both Bigs and Jake manage to evade the fire from above, and as you pull back, the six Soldiers kick on their jets and come flying down the passage in pursuit.
Springer, Victor and Ian are all poised to attack, and the three Beta pilots get a held shot off at the Invid before going to a standard initiative roll.
Grimacing at the sudden attack, Ian locked on to one of the Invid Soldiers and fired off a podful of mini-missiles at it.
He then gave a silent curse when they failed to hit.
