 *Mack's Fighter landed on a German airstrip and taxied into a parking space next to some of his squad mate's fighters. Some of them had landed in the US for their leave, while some had landed here in Germany, mostly the command officers. The Chief mechanic came up as Mack climbed out and took Mack's parking authorization papers. Mack also handed him an order for upgrades signed by Captain Loran. The chief nodded and rushed off to get the crew required for the upgrades.*

*3 space force captains, including Captain Walton, and an admiral sat around a round wooden table. Standing next to a large flat screen TV were and Earth force intelligence officer, and a fleet command officer. Captain Loran entered the darkened briefing room and sat down.*

[Fleet command officer] "Good, now that we're all here, lets begin. Captain Loran, you've been asked to attend because this plan includes the Suicide Kings in a large part."

*Captain Loran nodded and folded his hands in his lap.*

[Intelligence officer] "Last night, one of our agents informed us of some significant activity from the CAS second moon facility. This information was later confirmed by long range visual satellite images an hour later."

*Fleet admiral Harper raised a finger*

[Admiral Harper] "Significant activity?"

[Intelligence officer] "Yes, the launch of several ships, their last known coarse puts them on a direct line to earth."

*Several images started to scroll on the Flat screen.*

[Intelligence officer] "The Stingray, The Evolution and the Daunting. Two Musai class cruisers and a Gwazine class respectively."

*One of the captains leaned forward in his chair.*

[Captain] "You said they were bound for earth? to what end?"

[Intelligence officer] "We believe they're transporting critical supplies and reinforcements to China. But knowing their approximate arrival time and strength gives us a unique advantage. We plan on preventing them from reaching earth."

[Fleet Command officer] "We've pulled your four ships from their current duties to strike up an ambush. Thats where you come in Captain Loran."

[Captain Loran] "Sir?"

[Fleet Command officer] "The Roger Young will be dropping your squadron off in the debris field where they are to wait in passive mode. Amongst a field of inactive hulks your fighters will be almost impossible to spot."

[Captain Loran] "12 starfighters against 3 capital ships? i think you put to much confidence in my pilots. not even a squadron of James Avery's could pull that off."

[Fleet Command officer] "Your fighters will have crews all over them within the hour, installing hard points under the wings for missile mount pylons. That will give your initial punch enough power to complete your mission."

[Captain Loran] "Which is what exactly?"

[Fleet Command officer] "Once the CAS fleet breaks through the debris field, your to go active and launch your missiles to attack the Musai's mobile suit hangers. once their down that cuts the enemy small unit forces by one third."

[Captain Walton] "But the 20 suits from that Gwazine is nothing to balk at. How are we going to deal with that?"

[Fleet Command Officer] "We'll bring our own compliment of a few mobile suits, but for the most part, Captain Harris will deal with the enemy suits."

[Captain Harris] "The Devil Dog can handle a few suits, you guys just keep those cap ships away from me."

*The captain nodded in agreement, and fleet admiral harper started thinking of possible battle lines for the mission.*

[Fleet Command Officer] "Ok, now lets hammer out a battle plan."

*Mack watched as the mechanic crews installed two missile launchers on his fighter. One 3 missile magazine launcher inside each wing. This gave Mack's fighter a significant boost to in firepower. In addition to the missile pods Mack's two 40mm Gatling guns have been replaced with 100mm Gatling guns. This made Mack's fighter deadly to both ground and land units. Mack almost wished he could do a mission against a tank to see what those 100mm cannons would do to it. Mack helped the crew's finish up when a currier ran up to Mack and handed him new orders.*

"Whats up?"

[Courier] "I don't know, it's very hush hush Sir. I was just told to hand you this."

*The courier handed out an envelope and then ran off. Mack opened up the envelope and read the letter enclosed. It was orders to cut leave and return to the Roger Young for a new operation. Mack figured it was probably just a training exercise but didn't want to risk being late on his theory so he signaled the crew to find him a taxi for his fighter. An hour later, Mack was in the sky and headed for orbit.*
