Here is chapter 12 everybody.
Chapter 12: Pilots and Aces Report.
At Redmill, Trigger, Mobius 1, Talisman, their wingmen, and all other Osean and foreign pilots were watching the news reports on the alien spaceships. They were also watching reports of UFO fanatics gathering on rooftops at downtown St. Hewlett to 'greet' the alien visitors, much to the disapproval from many of the pilots.
"What a bunch of idiots." Húxiān said.
"You said it. What's gonna happen if these aliens are hostile? They sure won't be partying on those rooftops." Count said.
"Even if that's the case, there's no way they won't be able to get out in time." Avalanche said.
"Well, if they are hostile, what are they gonna do?" Windhover asked.
"Let's start with the middle of these spaceships. What is in them?" Viper 2 asked.
"So many questions. Let's just wait one step at a time. Once the Osean government tries to communicate with these alien visitors, then we'll know." Mobius 1 said.
"Mobius 1 is right. I know we're all stressed, anxious, concerned and all that, but we just gotta wait and maintain our composure" Trigger said before looking at Count. "Say, Count. Have you heard anything from Avril?"
"Scrap Queen is still at her home. Being in a desert region far away from any cities, she should be safe." Count said.
"Good." Trigger said.
"So if these aliens are hostile, what will happen to us?" Talisman asked.
"Only God has the answer to that." Trigger replied.
At an air base near St. Hewlett, many OADF pilots were watching a news report on the alien visitors that are hovering over the city.
"Once again, the St. Hewlett Police Department is asking local residents not to fire their guns at the visitor spacecraft. You may inadvertently trigger an interstellar war." a local news anchor reported.
While the pilots were watching in the locker room, Michael had just reported in and greeted his fellow wingmen.
"Think we can find something better to do with our time, gentlemen?" Michael asked as his wingman and best friend Johnny followed him.
"Where you been, Mikey?" Johnny asked. "Man, this is unbelievable. This is, like, huge. They've recalled everybody."
"Looks like the mail is still working." Michael said as he spotted his mail at his locker and realized it's from OASA. "Oh, oh, oh. Uh, you got to do the honors for me, man."
"You're a wuss." Johnny said.
"Shut up and just read it." Michael said as Johnny opened the letter and reads it.
"It says...'Captain Michael Wilson', loser. Osean Air Defense Force...blah, blah, blah. 'We regret to inform you that despite your excellent record of service...' I'm sorry, man." Johnny said.
"It's okay. Maybe it wasn't the time." Michael said.
"You know what you need to do? You need to, like, kiss some serious booty to get ahead in this world, man. See, I like the one-knee approach because it puts the booty, like, in front of the lips." Johnny said.
"Umm… okay I'll just stick to my way man. Thanks though." Michael said.
"You'll fly the SSTO someday man. Takes time." Johnny said.
"Anyway, let's just figure out about these alien visitors and see on from here." Michael said.
And that's the end of the chapter. Our Ace pilot don't know what to expect or think about the alien visitors do they? Well they'll get their answer soon enough. Well Michael got rejected by OASA. He doesn't know that he'll soon achieve his dream of going to space but not the circumstances he expected. And speaking of Laila, what is she up too back in St. Hewlett? Find out next time in the next chapter. Please review. :)
