Somewhere over the skies of Izanu Island – A brave sacrifice
by Recruit has failed to rescue his trainers from Flight Club. Tony, Shirley, and Lance are still captive of
the EVIL Syndicate. It is unclear if
they have been apprehended in their escape attempt, but with no helicopter to
pick them up, they are going nowhere fast.
It was a scene out of grisly movie, where everything goes
wrong. The military refused
participation, and are now refusing comment as to why. Everyone involved, from the pilot, to the
crew on the Aircraft Carrier that launched the helicopter were raw
recruits. While it is written on the
pilot’s release forms that he knew of the Anti-aircraft batteries standing in
his way, he had no defensive training.
And no one is admitting that they saw the real twist coming, when the
pilot found himself caught off guard and under attack from dozens of hidden
batteries in the dense woods.
“He was dodging and weaving at 500 feet,” says Ensign
Gulliver, aboard the carrier, “but he was also unlucky! I’ve not seen a swifter plummet or more
burning red since the Virtual Boy!”
Flight Club is one of several organizations dedicated to
teaching and promoting safe flying. So
how did a graduate of a civilian club, granted one with a gold license, end up
called into military service. Who paid
for the helicopter? And where did the
almost limitless supply of missiles come from?
Big Al: You can’t question flight club! This is exactly why I keep telling people not
to talk about it!
Big Al: The only thing that matters is getting out flight
instructors back, so we can resume putting new pilots through dangerous stunts
and marking them down for not living up to our unrealistic time expectations.
When asked about the cost in young pilots and helicopters
shot down, Big Al commented: We actually haven’t lost any more vehicles than
usual! The pilots mostly walk away, but
the machines seldom have such luck!
In related news, Big Al, also of Flight Club, is still
calling for pilots to undertake the dangerous mission; a gold grade pilot’s licence
is required, but Big Al is willing to furnish such in exchange for an 8 digit pass
code…
