Chapter 4, "Operation Tango Line"
"The Tango Line is a vital line of defense for the Erusians forces on the eastern mainland. Istas Fortress is a strategic foothold on that line. It utilizes unique terrain features that make it virtually impregnable. Support our troops by attacking and neutralizing the combat power of Istas Fortress. Be forewarned, this will put you within range of Stonehenge. However, your skills should prove to be more than a match for it." The briefing was the usual, but one thing that was unusual was that another new pilot was placed into the squadron and Chopper was reassigned. Her name was Kai Nagese. Her callsign was "Edge"
After that, we left with yet another nugget in tow.
After we where in flight, we split off. Mobius 1 took the Re-supply base, Ace took the Airbase, Edge took the VTOL base and I took the submarine base.
"Submarine base at vector 350, 8 miles" Skyeye said.
Just shut up I thought. Skyeye was almost as worse as Chopper as a motormouth. When I was over the submarine base, I started to drop the MiGs bombs. They where the small, unguided kind, but they easily took out the bases in very short order. I continued to destroy other units like the ships docked there and the helicopters and as far as I knew, Edge was almost in danger of being shot down. When I checked my radar, she had just destroyed the VTOL base and was en route to aid Ace's destruction of the airbase. Skyeye of course was not being very useful; he was just stating the obvious. After I sank all the ships and shot down all the fighters, I went out of the base… and nearly flew into Skyeye!
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING YOU MANIAC?" I roared.
"Didn't you hear me? Stonehenge rounds are inbound!" he responded.
"You really need to stop being such a motormouth you know. I was ignoring you."
"I'll try… but no promises."
After the Stonehenge rounds hit, we received word that a Command Center was discovered in the same area where we where flying. We decided that it was best to assault this with all four of us. We flew at high speeds to it and proceeded to attack. They tried to send fighters our way, but we shot them down before they could make it up. We eventually destroyed the base and left the front door open to the ground forces. But something was bugging me. Skyeye had at one point said something about mechanical parts being discovered in a "Destroyed facility". Well, the mystery can wait for now. I decided.
