Contested Airspace, Sendan
"Woah toe oo shi ang... whoah toe oo shi ang..." Lieutenant Sydney Riddenberg whispered, repeating the words to herself under her breath. It was important to get the sounds right, in case the pilots on the other side didn't speak Canthic. She would only have one shot at accomplishing her goal.
"What was that, Zee-Zee?" her flight leader, Major Grantham Smith, asked over the radio.
"Nothing, Major," she felt her hand tense around the yoke of her F-7 Cottonmouth. Her craft was an older one at this point. New for the start of the continental war, obsolete for the end. Yet, if word from the radio was correct, they were going up against a squadron of even older interceptor models from before the continental war.
One of those planes would be flown by the infamous DUA Ascendant, Major Cheng Hong.
