Here's chapter 35 everybody.
Chapter 35: Recruiting and Prepping.
"Ham radio operators from San Salvacion to other countries like Clavis, Estovakia, and Aurelia trade rumors of military forces in hiding. unwilling to reveal themselves for fear of annihilation..." a news anchor said, in which the news report is seen by Dean.
Dean is watching the news report on how the ISAF is send Morse code to other countries about a plan to defeat the alien invaders. While he is watching, Major Bishop stood on top of a military hum-vee with a megaphone in his hand.
"What we're planning at this time is to launch a counteroffensive. However, woth our depleted manpower, we're asking that anyone with any flight experience come forward. Military training is preferable, but anyone who can fly a plane would be useful." Bishop said on the PA, which got Dean's attention.
"I can fly. I'm a pilot." Dean said as Bishop looks back.
A few moments later, Bishop and other ISAF officers and pilots has managed to recruit the volunteer civilians who has flight experience. Most of them are civilian pilots, but some also used to serve in the military and are war veterans like Dean. Bishop starts his class.
"All right, guys, listen up!" an ISAF pilot said.
"All right, pay close attention. These 5th generation jets like the X-02 Wyvern and F-22 Raptor are very different than the jets you've piloted before. You'll have to forgive the expression, but you're about to get a crash couse in modern avionics." Bishop said. "All right, listen up. Before we can begin, we're going to have to get a little background information on your flight experience. Uh, let's start with you."
"Who, me?" Dean asked.
"Yes, sir." Bishop replied.
Dean gave Bishop a salute before saying...
"Dean Allen, sir. I was the former flight lead of the Usean Air Force 11th Air Division Pennant Squadron, and I served for the Allied Forces during the First Usean Continental War. My squadron was saved by Scarface at one point. Anyway, after that war, I got into crop dusting so that I can raise my kids, and I've been doing that ever since. And, sir, on a personal point, I just want you to know that I won't let you down."
Meanwhile, back at the Agile Fighter's room, ISAF mechanics are preparing to install a tactical nuclear missile that contains the Belkan V2 warhead onto a launcher on the Agile Fighter's right side. The missile proudly displays the Belkan flag since the Belkan military made the warhead back in the 1980s. Meanwhile, General Harris is briefing Jason and Guy about their part of the mission.
"You have one tactical nuclear missile we're loading into this launcher we're installing under the right wing." Harris said before heading to a device. "This is the firing mechanism, to be attached to the ship's main console."
"Just like the same ICBM launching mechanism on the Morgan." Jason said.
"Except the nuke will not detonate at impact. You'll have 30 seconds to get your butts out of there. Good luck, gentlemen." Harris said.
"30 seconds." Jason said.
"Tell me. Tell me." Guy said to Tommy.
"It was the strongest radio transmitter we could get. It'll tell us when you've uploaded the virus." Tommy said as he hands Guy the transmitter.
"30 seconds. Don't you think that's cutting it a little too close?" Claudia asked.
"Oh, we're gonna be well on our way back home before we shoot the V2 off." Guy said.
Claudia realized what Guy is saying.
"Why you? Guy! I don't understand why you can't show someone else how to plant the virus, someone who is trained-"
"No, no. Something may go wrong. I may have to think quickly, adjust the signal. Jammer operators are trained for this." Guy said. "Who knows? Hey, you know how, like, I'm always trying to save the planet?" Guy asked before tossing a soda can into the recycling bin, making Claudia to smile, making Guy smile back. "Here's my chance" Guy said before getting back to prepping.
Claudia sighed before saying...
"Now he gets ambitious."
That's the end of this chapter. Please review.
