A bullet catches me on the arm.
"AUGH forget"

We kneel down on the ground, hands raised.

I'm next, replying with "Frank Estaloo, lieutenant colonel, 923881!"

Danna sleeps for a while.

Haythem shows more brain activity. His brain damage, once looked at, really wasn't that bad. Doctors expect his balance to be worse, but they cannot be sure.

i called you over the loudspeaker

no i got shot down and am being rescued by cartelian troops

The flight is long and quiet. We finally reach Darina International. It is storming pretty badly.

"The tempest has finally come, hasn't it," I say to myself.

It was 200 hours, but surprisingly there seemed to be some life around.

The ramp of the transport lowered. There was a small group of wet mechanics, busily working to try to get out of the rain as soon as possible.

I stepped out of the aircraft and looked around. A flash of lightening exposed the crashed jet. I was heartbroken. Did fate just hate me so much? I walked out onto the airfield, and approached the aircraft. It was torn and burned.

"Rory Jackson?" a man said.

I turned to him, "Yes,"

"Frank Estaloo," he said.

I looked back the the crashed Flatpack.

"Could I get you anything?" Estaloo asked.

"Can I see my brother?" I asked.

He nodded, and lead me to my brother's hanger. I saw the name of his plane, and the coat-of-arms he had talked about, leaning up against the back wall of the hanger. Someone had taken it, and cleaned them. In the middle, illuminated by a single light, was a casket. It was draped with the Cartelian flag. Two MPs stood guard. I dropped to my knees and cried.

I eventually flip the battery switch off and step out of the aircraft.
"Sir..?"
"Tempest.." I mutter, taking my helmet off and throwing it as hard as I can against the side of the airplane. I do the same with all the charts and pens in the pockets of my suit.

The ground crew workers stare in awe as I walk towards te terminal.

Returning back to base was exceptionally quiet.

The telltale blackening of the soil by the runway was enough to confirm the worst had happened. Finding it difficult to look, I turn my head away as a lump begins forming in my throat.

The Falcon comes to a full stop inside the hangar and returns to a cold and dark state. After exiting the roosterpit I walk out of the hangar, only to stop a few steps from the doorway, staring into the clouds as the overcast sky rained down.

"Rory Jackson to Major Ybarra's office."

I am brought back, arm wrapped in a bandage. The moment we return, I see a casket draped with the Cartelian flag. It's all I can do to not bring myself down to tears. Seeing the black streak and wreckage really lets sit sink in. I see Marko throwing down his stuff and heading for the terminal. I try to chase after him.
"Marko, what are you doing?"

let's say i touched down before nozoner

Frank turns to me.

"They want you in the offices, I'll take your stuff,"

"Xavier's bed please," I ask.

Estaloo nodds and I exit.

The terminal is quiet. I tried to hide my face as much as possible. I knew I looked a lot like Xavier, and I really didn't want to deal with a line of people taking pity on me right now. Luckly I made it to the office without anyone noticing me.

The XO, Major Ybarra, was waiting.
