October 25th, 1944/March 23rd, 2043. Scotland, Britannian Commonwealth.

While the 114th fighter squadron or Phoenix squadron was retiring from expeditions in the World Witches universe for 3 months, their counterpart was in the air force. The 36th fighter squadron or Artyom squadron was tasked with reaching London instead of St. Petersburg because Phoenix squadron was intercepted by the 502nd JFW. However, the New Canterian government assumed that the 502nd belonged to the Orussian military and as such, they decided to contact Britannia instead.

12 CG1991 fighter jets fly over Glasgow, surprising all of the residents "Mom look! Planes!" A Britannian child says as he watches Artyom squadron fly past faster than any conventional plane in 1944. "S-sure sweetie. Come on let's get you some ice cream." The parent of the child says, shaken up by the fighter jets. Meanwhile, the police and military present in Glasgow all rush towards communications and all air force members present rush to take off. But by the time the Britannian Air Force present in Glasgow take off, they are left in the dust as the fighter jets exceed radar distance.

"This is Artyom-1. So far we haven't been intercepted yet by any bogeys." Artyom-1 or better known as Oleg Ulyanov says as he holds his control stick, ready to slow down once he gets near Cambridge. "Copy that. Continue until you get to London." The radio controller for the NCSS Khabarovsk says as Oleg lies down on his chair, unaware of the consequences that will occur by Artyom's sudden arrival.

Chaos. Absolute chaos was erupting at Lancaster airfield as they rushed to assemble every plane in the surrounding area. If nobody knew what was going on then it would be assumed that the Neuroi started another attack, however, it wasn't the case here.

As Lancaster air command was ripping themselves apart in the chaos a witch named Lynette Bishop casually watched in the distance in her residence, although confused. 'What is going on over there? And why are so many planes taking off?' Lynette thinks to herself as the BAF struggles to get their planes in the sky. She drinks a sip of tea as she watched the chaos unfold. A man then walks up to her. "Are you Sergeant Bishop?" Lynette puts her teacup down and faces the man. "Yes, why?"

The man identifies himself as a member of the Britannian Air Force and grabs Lynette's arm. "You are needed in the air this instant, without delay." Lynette is taken aback since she hasn't had much contact with men but she still retains her normal demeanour. "Eh, why?", "12 unknown flying objects were detected to have flown over Glasgow! Presumably Neuroi." Lynette, realizing the situation gained a more serious tone. "Understood!" The man and Lynette then run towards an empty military jeep and they both take off towards Lancaster airfield.

Veering by several trucks and cars on the roads of Lancaster, the two finally make it to Lancaster Airfield and enter the command center, where general chaos is unfolding. "Give me a direction on where those 12 bogeys are going!" The commander of the airfield yells as he has a map of Britannia on his desk. "Sir! The 12 unidentified objects have been moving southeast, offsetting more to the south every few kilometres!" A radarman yells. "How much are a few kilometres!?", "It's random each time! We don't know!"

"What's going on?" Lynette asks as she watches Lancaster's command devolve into chaos silently. "Ah, Sergeant. Recently 12 objects have shown up in Britannian airspace and we are trying to stop them before they reach..." The commander draws a line on the map and sees it go from the North Atlantic Ocean to London. "London. Shoot them down if they are Neuroi. Understood?" Lynette salutes. "Yes sir!"

A minute later Lynette takes off with her Ultramarine Spitfire striker unit on her legs and goes up into the sky with her Boys anti-tank rifle, briefly followed by actual Spitfire aircraft. Eventually, the squadron reached Leeds, an interception point on the path of the object. However, it didn't take long for the 12 objects to appear. In the distance, 12 fighter jets could be seen flying towards London. Lynette breathes a sigh of relief since the fighters aren't Neuroi, however, there was still the question as to if the fighters were hostile.
