The map gives an overview of Earment with the blue area have expand a bit into the red area

You: Thanks to the efforts of our air force, we have seized control of this airbase and thankfully its fully loaded with armaments for our fighters. Tonight, we have multiple opportunities for strike missions on their industrial part

Three mark locations have been marked on the map

You: We cannot let this opportunities go to waste. If we can eliminate these spots, it'll cut off some of their logistics

The map zooms in on one of the marked industrial site

You: Talon Squadron, this'll be your sortie. The mercs will handle the other two places, but if I want to say which one will be the more important site, it'll be yours. This facility is one of the most largest one they have available and is also the one that provided the most logistics out of all of them

Red blips continuously appears as Y/N speaks

You: They got SAM sites, AA guns, fighters you named it. Since this is deep in enemy territory, expect reinforcements to come your way immediately. Your mission is to destroy as much of their facilities as possible so you're on a time limit. So hit hard and get out once you're done

The map then zooms out slightly and shows narrow canyon heading near the base

You: The mission has already proven hard enough, but your entry is also hard. You'll have to navigate through the narrow canyon and avoid detection until you reached the site. The other sites will have other squadrons on standby, however, you guys will not have anyone as backup. I'm sorry if I sound heartless, but I wouldn't have sent you, if I knew you couldn't do it. Sortie ASAP

Timeskip

Talon Squadron

12 kilometers away from targeted industrial site

Five F-15Js are flying in the middle of the night at altitude of 1,000 ft

Long Caster: Talon Squadron, listen up. We have reached the starting point, no weapons until you reached the base. The mission has begun, good luck

In one of the F-15J is Ruby who sigh feeling slightly nervous

Ruby: Here we go

Jaune: This'll be something

Ren: Don't get crash now, it'd be too troublesome to lose any fighter here

Kiba: True, we'll lose our chances of blowing that site to smithereens and that we'll be down a pilot

Gasper: Thanks for the info, Kiba...

Long Caster: Cut the chatter and descend to the canyon

The squadron did so and descend into the canyon at cruising speed

Long Caster: Your heat signatures are off the enemy's radar. Do not be or above 500 ft. Or else, the base will be alerted and the nearest QRF will intercepted you

Ruby turn left before turning right. She saw an overpass causing her eyes widen and forcing her to do a quick barrel roll just managed to missed it. She sigh and focused on flying through the canyon dodging yet another overpass. She glances at the timer on her hud that is reading "0:38" and thought

Ruby: Brother said that he has done this type of mission back home. He finished the canyon run in two minutes and a half. Let's see if we can beat it

She throttled up slightly and weaving left and right through the canyon with her squadron keeping up
