The engine hummed, and the full moon shone above, illuminating the clouds below. Charlie looked toward the horizon line, trying to see if any landmarks showed through. It was a beautiful sight, but he couldn't lose focus on reaching the target, not now. They had only been briefed about this mission a few hours before, even though there had been rumors for months that something big was happening. As the moon was covered by some clouds behind him, the first glow could be seen ahead of him along the horizon. The clouds were thinning, and they could see some lights.
