"Don't call me an idiot! I'd kill you if you weren't my brother!"
― Scream to Rage[2]

Elke van Dalsen[3], callsign Scream, was an ace pilot affiliated with GR Guardian Mercenaries. She was a member of the assassin team Mimic Squadron and flew as a wingman to her younger brother, Otto van Dalsen, as Mimic 2.

Despite her aircraft sporting Osean Air Defense Force roundels, she was openly hostile to Osean forces and engaged them multiple times. She alludes to having violent tendencies through her speech, and was quite impulsive and brash.

Biography[]

Sometime before September 4, 2019, Elke and her brother were hired by Osean Brigadier General Howard Clemens to kill the Osean ace Trigger.

On September 4, 2019, Elke and Otto flew to Artiglio Port in order to engage the Long Range Strategic Strike Group, who were escorting an Osean Navy fleet attempting to capture the Alicorn. Despite her brother instructing her not to, Elke shot down an Erusean aircraft prior to engaging Trigger. She retreated alongside her brother after the dogfight, but not before impulsively jumping on an Osean radio channel to inform Trigger of her fervent desire to kill him.[2]

During Operation Domino on September 10, 2019, Mimic once again attacked Strider Squadron, this time as they prepared to withdraw. Striking Lanza's aircraft with stealth missiles, the siblings engaged the 2 remaining Strider aircraft - Trigger and Count. As the dogfight raged, Clemens contacted the Mimic team on an open channel and ordered them to withdraw. Otto refused, telling Clemens it would be a blow to their reputation. Clemens responded by calling the two "goddamned idiots", prompting a verbal threat from Elke. Despite them using stealth missiles and ECM, the siblings were both shot down. In her final moments, AWACS Long Caster ordered Elke to eject. She refused, tearfully telling them that while she believed her brother would go to heaven, that meant she would be all alone as she waited for Trigger in hell. Elke's plane then exploded, killing her.[4]

Personality[]

Elke was reckless, insubordinate, and outwardly fond of violence, unlike her younger brother Otto, who was often forced to keep her in check during missions. She particularly hated insults to her intelligence, reacting with angry threats of violence if anyone - even her own brother - called her an idiot or implied she was unintelligent. Despite their frequent quarrels, however, her brother was seemingly the only person she cared for, and his death caused Elke's mood to rapidly devolve from one of confidence into insane, grief-fueled hysterics that fit her callsign perfectly.
