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 Gutiérrez. 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.

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?

[agyieus]

i'm as shocked as you are.

[foundlostfound]

You don't
Tha

I suppose there's that thing about all play and no work.

[agyieus]

how is your shoulder, by the way?

[foundlostfound]

I’m fine. The bruise is shaped a little like Russia. In its honor. How’s the head.

[agyieus]

i think it might leave a scar

[foundlostfound]

A visible flaw. Oh no.

[agyieus]

horrible for my vanity.

[foundlostfound]

Will it survive.

[agyieus]

tbd

[foundlostfound]

Make up the right story and it could actually add, though.

[agyieus]

you don't think "smacked my head on a low ceiling" is good enough?

[foundlostfound]

Wait. You're right. Peak heroism.

[agyieus]

makes me sound tall

[foundlostfound]

Slightly above average height.

[agyieus]

thank you, it means a lot to me to hear you admit that.

[foundlostfound]

I'm not in the habit of completely ignoring facts.
Though it was a very low ceiling.

[agyieus]

guess there weren't a lot of tall people working on submarines. go figure.

[foundlostfound]

A little sad we never got to drive them.
