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.

You're ridiculous.

I like it.

Don’t pilots love punctuality?

You pay a lot of attention to pilots, huh?

Hazards of the job. You’re all kind of my responsibility.

I'm teasing, Nim. And it's [...] okay if I'm not.

I just don’t want you to think I see you guys as one Pilot Collective.

Pilot Collective is my plane's name, actually.

I have my favourites. That’s all.

Yeah? And which ones are those?

Fox is good. But I’m biased.

You’re good. Also biased.

I'm also biased towards Fox.

How could you not be? He's the secondmost earnest boy to fly a drone-killing machine that I've ever met.

Who's the most earnest? I know it isn't Eli. Or Az. Or Apollo.


Maybe Kit?

Weird. I'm just seeing ✖️. Might want to get your device looked at, sweetheart.

Sorry. Nim. Not sweetheart.


Unless that's okay.

You can call me whatever you like, flyboy. I was referring to you.
