Onboard the USS Enterprise which was Firebird, Turtle, and Mavericks typical carrier they were being debriefed before their mission by their Commander Stinger.
"Gentlemen, this is bull's-eye. The communication ship SS Layton has become disabled and has wandered into foreign territory. A rescue operation is to begin within the hour. Your mission is to give air support to that rescue. There are MiGs in the area, and tensions are high. If you witness a hostile act, you will return fire. Those MiGs carry the Exocet anti-ship missile. They can fire that missile from 100 miles away."

Iceman frowned but nodded before heading out, if things went as planned neither Firebird nor Maverick would see the air today. But when do things ever go according to plan?
