Eli's managed to confirm intel provided by Bishop, so we're reasonably confident there are nine planes we can salvage from abandoned bases that are all within reasonable distances.

Fresh birds for the flock? I hear you ask. Yes! Except we're not entirely sure how fresh, which means I'm going to need pilots and engineers to fly out to assess and, with any luck, bring them back home. Additionally, I will need to borrow some of you lovely Espio or Ground Force types to take us out in those dreamy Blackbirds and to remain on standby as we scope out the jets.

Mission specs:

MONDAY, 07:00. de Vries + Olshanskaya + 1 pilot + Wijk + Dawson (pending confirmation). Destination: Naha airbase. Target: 3 x F-15s.

TUESDAY, 07:00. Sinclair + Hyun + 1 pilot + Jacobs + Aldana Gutiérrez. Destination: Misawa airbase. Target: 1 x F-15, 2 x F-2s.

WEDNESDAY, 07:00. Thomas + 2 pilots + Koskinen + Quinn. Destination: Guam airbase. Target: 3 x Gripens.

Factsheets on plane specs will be distributed later today. Read them, learn them, memorise them.

Appreciate it's a tight schedule, but those aliens aren't waiting for it to be convenient for us. Don't all volunteer at once.

Great finds. I have to [...] stay back this week. To wait [...] for something.
But I want to fly them when they're here.

[philiip]

Ominous. But gives you time to learn all three jets' manuals.

[foundlostfound]

Memorized by Friday.

Cass got me some new books that I haven't dropped to the library yet if you need a break from manuals while you heal

[foundlostfound]

I might. This is really more a three day task.
I got one new English book in Russia. Maryle has first dibs but you can be next.

[finotti]

I feel like I'm part of an illicit book trade rivaling the real library

But yeah I'd like second dibs

[foundlostfound]

If there weren't aliens to fight I think that'd be my calling. Back alley book dealer.

[finotti]

One day. I'll be your biggest customer

[foundlostfound]

I'll save you the good ones.

[agyieus]

your arm to heal

[foundlostfound]

Why are you tattling.

[jaxsons]

If he hadn't, I would've.

[foundlostfound]

It barely even hurts anymore. And I wasn't volunteering anyway.

[jaxsons]

Just want to err on the side of caution, Sloane. Let the med team know if that changes?

[foundlostfound]

It won't. But okay.

sly.

[iyla]

is the extra worrying because of arrogant pilot syndrome (the inability to know when to quit) or is jax just being a mother hen?

sly.

[foundlostfound]

I think he's just taking personal responsibility because it was his mission. Maybe a little mother hen-ing. Ridiculous, either way.

sly.

[iyla]

on a scale of 1 to 10 from 'needs rest' to 'could take someone in a fight still,' where would you put yourself?

sly.

[foundlostfound]

Well who’s the fight with.

[agyieus]

sorry

[foundlostfound]

You aren't.

[agyieus]

a little that you have to miss this

[foundlostfound]

Why? Now you'll be able to tell everyone how cool you were and no one will be there to correct you.

[agyieus]

i think i've had enough fun this month already

[foundlostfound]

There's such a thing?
