Nic: “Hey you. Getting a new toy?” Oscar: “As if.” Sunshine: “Nic? What are you doing out here?” Nic: “Oh, I think you’ll find this thing gets me onto ALL KINDS of flight lines.” Sunshine: “”That’s nice. But I meant like… this far north. In Ptarmigan county.” Nic: “Well, HE said he we wanted to do Prop Wash tonight.

Nic: "You'd have to go pretty far to find a pilot THAT stupid, I'd think." Oscar: "You two have SO much catching up to d--" Peregrine: "HEY, HONEY."

Peregrine: "I think the squadron would prefer I stick with one." Oscar: "Damn right you will. No way I'd let one of these take off out of my hangar. "I have enough moving parts to maintain as it is. And that's WITHOUT pilots driving them into lightning storms." [Off-camera]: "Fortunately for you, Oscar..."

Oscar: "...hardpoint-mounted gun. Can you believe they used to send pilots up with these instead of bombs?" Sunshine: "What do you think of THAT, guns ace? Could strap another gun or two onto the turkey for you to play with."

Oscar: "I appreciate that. But I promise I'll have PLENTY more for you to shoot down. Stripping all these birds down for drone conversion is one of my side projects." Sunshine: "Hey, Scales. Check this out." Oscar: "Oh, you two like that old thing, huh? It's a..."

Oscar: "So my drones all came back today. They weren't that challenging, were they?" Peregrine: "Nah. Just had to see something for myself." Oscar: "Oh! Peregrine's playing nice today."

Peregrine: “Deckert Tower, Tycho 2. 10 kilometers south of the firing range, inbound, requesting permission to land.” Deckert Tower: “Tycho 2, Deckert Tower. Fly straight in for runway 3-6. Cleared to land.” Peregrine: “Flying straight-in for runway 3-6, cleared to land — Tycho 2.”

Peregrine: "I don't know, Sunshine. After running the drones I feel like I just have more questions." Sunshine: "Sunshine to Major Ruminant. How about we save the crisis of confidence for after you get my boots backs back on solid ground?" Peregrine: "...Wilco."

Unsure if his wingmate went down to enemy fire or his own poor leadership, Peregrine is wracked with guilt. He returns to base from running a simulation of the incident with drones while he agonizes over the right time to tell his loved ones about the situation.

Four characters--Nic, Oscar, Sunshine, and Peregrine--stand around a table in a beach bar setting. In the background, a marble cliff looms, with a city of skyscrapers atop it.

Cape Britt is commonly called ‘The Battlement City,’ owing to its highly defensible site atop a marble cliff. Now a hub of the financial sector and home to Cape Britt Air Base, the cliff has served as a lookout point in conflicts as old as history itself. #illustration #digitalart

Two fighter jets ascend while a supertall gantry crane looms in the distance.

Peregrine and a wingmate at the site of the Stargazer.

The Stargazer, measuring 42,000 feet tall, is the world’s largest gantry and uniquely capable of oversize construction projects—such as segments of the Curtain.

It remains critical strategic infrastructure.

Nic, a white dog, sits at a barstool in a greyscale rendered dive bar scene. She casually wears a bomber jacket while she holds a cigarette.

Serving as a traditional muster point for personnel training at the Fort Deckert range, the walls of the Prop Wash bar have borne witness to 85 years of raucous stories from inebriated aviators.

A character sheet of Oscar, a rabbit character wearing a yellow maintenance vest. He converses tersely with Peregrine, a pilot. Peregrine: "The flaps keep getting oversped." Oscar: "No one flies that plane but you."

The labyrinthine complexity of a variable sweep wing fighter will draw the ire of any maintenance crew member.

Weapons System Operators (WSOs) greatly expand the capabilities of fighter aircraft by shouldering attack planning tasks during missions. Also known as Radar Intercept Officers by some services, they are essential to the operation of some platforms, such as the F-14D.

Although Air Force personnel receive permanent callsigns during training, some, such as WSO Cassandra ‘SUNSHINE’ Oliveras, have successfully influenced other crew to use their preferred, nonstandard callsigns.
