The Nogovan planes continue to make their exit.

"Leaving the que open for Skytracer and Tempest, if there's a chance I'll top off my munitions. Remaining on patrol."

"I bet there will be more. There's always more... hopefully."

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko lines up to the runway, but makes a pass.

"Is there no COMRO ground station?"

[Operator¹]

"There's not really much of a point setting one up all the way out here."

[Qwepir]

Crash lands to rearm. As he is doing so, Mjolnir's relief squadron arrives on station, and everyone else is cleared to land as well.

[Operator¹]

Ellie lands and taxis to the refueling/rearming station. She gets out of her plane for a quick break while the Berkut is being refueled.

[Swat 3]

Aero too lands to rearm and refuel. He asks one of the engineers for the location of a snack machine or something similar - even just an MRE.

[Gojira]

Markus lands as well, coming down a couple kilometers away, and thankful that the parachute worked. He unclips the harness and starts walking towards the base.

[Badger]

Walt heads in for a vertical landing and slowly sets down his giant hunk of metal.

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko slinks around for food, carrying his helment and still wearing his G-suit. Steam rolls off the top of his head as he had worked himself in to a sweat during the battle.

You are directed to the nearest cafeteria, where a bunch of people are already eating. Mostly factory workers, but there are a few military personnel, including three in pilot uniforms. Two of them are sitting together and chatting with the workers, while the third sits by themselves at a separate table.

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko heads toward the line, glancing at the pilot's shoulder patches, trying to get references of what squadron they are from.
