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 and 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 + 1 Engineer + Aldana GutiΓ©rrez. Destination: Misawa airbase. Target: 1 x F-15, 2 x F-2s.

    WEDNESDAY, 07:00. Thomas + 2 pilots + 1 Engineer + 1 Ground Force. 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.

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

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.

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

But yeah I'd like second dibs

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

Is it all banned books, what makes them back alley?

Banned. Dangerous. The ones everyone accidentally took from the library when we were ten by accident.

I always took my books back on time, but I thought I was in a fastest reader competition with this other guy until I found out he was only checking out books to return without reading to impress the librarian

But that just meant you won every time.

The librarian didn't know he was cheating
