I lay back down onto the bed, and take another hardtack.

I offer the bag to Bell.

"Want any? Only a few left."

Meanwhile back on base, the intercom calls Lieutenant Aramina to go straight to her craft.

I head straight to the hangars as soon as my name is called. I'm not exactly sure how to feel, it being just a patrol. There's not much to be excited about, and not much that I can expect in which I'd be afraid. Then again, I'd have to start here, at the basics.
I strap in to the Mirage and prepare for takeoff.

"Lieutenant, we've been tracking an unidentified contact moving erratically on the fringes of our airspace some time now and it's begun moving toward this installation. You are to attempt an interception to determine what it is and then escort it away from the premises."

"Right, I'll go see what's up."
I takeoff from the runway and start going on course towards the object.

I should also establish that it's very much night where you are, and you're very far away from civilization. The only lights visible for miles are the stars.
"The target has changed its orientation again. Modify heading twenty degrees to starboard."

"Ah, right."
I make the turn, heading closer to it. At this point i'll be frustrated if it changes again.

After another few minutes of flying and changing direction, you notice one of the "stars" is actually moving across the sky rather rapidly.
"You should be within visual range soon. See if you can contact them and tell them to buzz off."

*FacePalm* · March 15, 2015, 03:04:49 PM

The object gets closer and closer. After i get close enough to see vaguely that it's a plane, I try and issue it a warning, telling to divert it's course out of this airspace.

You recieve no response, only garbled static. The light changes its heading, now going directly towards you. It shoots overhead with a deafening roar, missing you by mere meters and travelling impossibly fast. Before you can even process the situation, another dark, vague shape flies over you just as closely in pursuit of the first.

*FacePalm* · March 15, 2015, 03:15:28 PM

I get startled about it. "Station, this is Mbombe. This thing just took a complete 180 and flew right over my head. It's also not alone. It's leading something that I couldn't see."

"If they're ignoring your attempts to communicate, we can only assume they're hostile. You are cleared to use lethal force."

*FacePalm* · March 15, 2015, 03:23:14 PM

"Aight, if I can even see it."
I make a turn towards the two objects. I can catch up with it, but they can turn on a dime; Which could mean these things could be VTOLs or something like it. I catch up and try and get a lock-on.

Every time your missile achieves a lock, it only lasts about a second before being lost and needing to be reaquired.
