Chapter 10B: Flicker of Hope.

After landing, parking, and going through post-landing checks, Blake, Larry, and John and his operators heads for the briefing room to get debriefed by Forrest, as usual after coming back from a combat mission.

"Operation Varsity succeeded. Ground troops are now en route to Solis Ortus. It won't be long now before France is liberated." Forrest said. "Take the day off, we might liberate Paris tomorrow."

Blake. Larry, and John left the room, talking about the operation and recent events, until they bumped into Vladimir and Bernard for they has just woken up.

"You guys are up early." Vladimir said.

"That's because we just came back from a combat mission." Blake said.

"What! How come we didn't participate it?" Bernard asked.

"Because there were not much interceptors in the area." Blake said.

"What did you guys do?" Vladimir asked.

"We had to provide support for the airborne troops of the US 101st Airborne Division on taking the city of Solis Ortus, which is just outside of Paris." Blake answered.

"Mission was a success. We should be able to liberate Paris tomorrow." Larry said.

"About bloody time. Time to put those bloody Belkans on the defensive." Bernard said.

"I heard Berlin and Farbanti should be liberated tomorrow." Larry said.

"Good." Vladimir said.
