I wince at the bright flash of light, and feel the concussion reverberate across my aircraft. Darina International is leveled. My heart rate rises drastically as a wave of unbridled emotion washes over my conscience. Hasn't Nerverak gone far enough? Just exactly what ends are they working towards if they couldn't stop after having taken our country? I sat wordlessly in my roosterpit, my hands shaking as they forcefully clamp down on the controls.

"Jesus loving Christ? Was that nuclear? What the forget!" Rory cries into the radio.

Blackwater is heard chattering urgently with numerous call signs, and other controllers.

"Jesus forget!" the Blackwater cries, "All surviving callsigns, respond. 86th flight, are you there?"

There is a lot of chatter in the background while Blackwater was talking.

Rory stares in awe as the mushroom cloud climbs above the airport.

"Blackwater, this is Oligarch, the 86th flight refueling with us is still with us, we'll list off then. Megalith, Demo, Deluge, Avenger, Swordsmen,"

"Copy Oligarch," Blackwater replies, "That leaves the CO Estaloo. Anyway, you pilots with Oligarch, we will have a base for you as soon as possible. Megalith, we do not have an exact causality count yet, uhh. My guess is it is in the hundreds.

"...copy that. Fill me in when you're able to, alright, Blackwater?"
I sound incredibly sullen, even moreso than when I'm normally sad.
"Deluge. That weapon was not nuclear in nature. Even so, it's incredibly devastating. I've seen them twice before. Etral and Ramonds. My home and our capital."

The tanker responds. "I remember the one going off in Etral. Nerverak are, well, "pussies" if they just wipe out forces with one press of a button. They need to be sent to the history books, they need to be wiped out for attacking an absolutely peaceful country."

I snap back to the instrument panel at the sound of my second engine spooling down "Turbine: failure."

"stuff..." I pitch for glide and begin descending from the group.

The tanker notices the drop. "There is a civilian airport right around here. I remember flying over it on the way to the meeting point. You could make it if you drop you ordinance and fuel tanks I suppose. Just ask, uh, what do you call him? Oh uh Blackwater."

"Avenger 0-4, there is a small airport 30 miles south of Darina, see of you can make it. All other call signs, we should have a place for you soon.

Anatoliy sighs, as no one gives him orders.  He's about to turn back around to take on ground forces at the airport when he sees the bright, bright flash in his mirrors.  The roosterpit begins to rattle almost violently.  "Holy forget..." He says, in awe of the detonation. 
The radio fills with chatter about the bomb suddenly.  "This is Demo... Regrouping at previously specified point.  I'll catch up with you guys." He says, pulling his respirator off and shaking his head. 
He turns his craft toward the meeting point, "What a day."


"Yeah, that should be the airport." The man piloting the tanker can be heard talking to his co-pilot.

"We need to go elsewhere. Some Yuko pilots need some fuel."

"Copy Estaloo. All call signs, we are looking at several places for you to go, one of them could be Gracemaria,"

"Why don't we just land in goddamned Yuktobania? Jesus Christ..." I mumble before disappearing into the clouds.

"This whole situation is forgetin' ridiculous, I really wish I wasn't assigned to the 86th now."

"It isn't my loving decision. We should be moving to some airbase in Yuktobania. It would make sense, but I'm not sure if the Yukes enjoy hundreds of civilian and military casualties. We will go where we have to go,"



Rory is surprised the the AWACS's outburst.
