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.

MONDAY, 07:00.

1 pilot

(pending confirmation)

TUESDAY, 07:00.

1 pilot

WEDNESDAY, 07:00.

2 pilots

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.

They're no submarines, but.

No, but planes are more effective against machines in the sky. I did get an update that our two new Typhoon-class subs fire ballistic missiles and they should be able to get fueled by the end of the week.

God do I love firepower.

We're but simple men.

For all of our airs and graces? Yeah.

How long do you expect you'll be gone, just the day?

Barring mishaps.

I'm sleeping in Jamie’s room again tonight. Don't go to bed too early so I can get my hug.

I will require 50% more hug.

I'll even use both arms.

Good.

Adri told me about the updated terms of your relationship, by the way. I assume it’ll be extending to me?

Yeah, I was gonna talk to you about that. Only reason it came up with Adri first is because of Jamie being in the medbay.

This (not Jamie’s medical admission) is a good development. Thrilled for you, handsome.

Thanks. It's been real nice to fall back into this again. I'm trying not to self-sabotage too much.

I can make a sign with nothing but a big red X on it to tap whenever you’re at risk of being an idiot?

Can you hit me over the head with it instead?

Degree of contact contingent on degree of idiocy.

I'll take it.

So when's the wedding for you and Adri, and do I have to fight Az over the honor of best man?

Wedding. Really?

Not really, but I've seen the ring, y'know.

And doesn't it look great on me?

Very stylish, brings out your eyes.

I'd have you give me away.

Aww, Flip. You do know my dreams about walking someone down the aisle. How many tears am I allowed?

After ten years, you'd hope I knew something.

And you can have as many tears up until the point I am being threatened into crying myself.
