"Now that we have a fixed et, it's time to hammer down soravity of the situation gradually dawned on the Black Star Unit
"The first will be the location The coordinates have been confirmed to pinpoint the area where the spacecraft is said to have crashed in Tennessee This further confirms my suspicion that there's a secret base around there so
After arrival, the imminent objective is to secure a spacecraft Next, ill need to learn how to start and pilot it Those are the fundamentals of our mission Beyond that… Of course, ill need to secure sufficient rations and drinkable water The craft will have an air and water purifier, but it will be best if we can round up additional units in case of e to outer space here Without air and water, death will be certain Other than that, ill also need repair kits, spare parts, and weaponry
Next will be an important yet tricky matter: human resources I hate to mimic the ones that left before us, but we have to be realistic here Based on the size of the craft, we are going to have to decide howThis can't be helped; we simply can't rescue everyone… Of course, within our powers, ill help as many people as possible to ensure the continuity of humanity, but ill have to be selective First priority will be given to scientists or academics, and after that, it will be technical workers or educators, before finally taking in soldiers or officers like us that haven't turned against hu is co us
That is a very long to-do list and I'ht not be able to complete all of these tasks with the time we have left, which leads me to the last issue: tih experts’ estiht s hit the fan, I fear that in reality, it ht be less than that If the asteroid is as dense as the statistics predicted, then ill have to account for its iravitational pull As it charts its way to the sun, that force will be more and alactic entities could cause unforeseeable daical devices, and that could utterly undo our effort It could very well spell doom Therefore, it's best to escape before then, which dra time down to about four to six ht, team! That concludes all of the research and analysis that I've collated over the past month Hopefully everyone is clear about our situation now Our immediate course of action is to depart for Tennessee, and hopefully get there in under six days We'll give ourselves half a month to locate the spacecraft and another one uys, this is our last hope… No, not our last hope, but the last hope for all of humanity!" Yao Yuan intoned as he worked himself to his finish "So believeshame to the Black Star name! FOR GLORY OR FOR DEATH!"
"FOR GLORY OR FOR DEATH!" echoed the rest of the room
Yes, indeed… for glory or for death, because against the certainty of victory, even death shall be perceived as glory…
Silence tends to precede the stor time since the Black Star Unit could lie down to rest without worrying about their lives, and they knew that this was going to be similarly a rare occurrence in the foreseeable future Therefore, all of the uard and tired bodies, each intent on savoring their first restful sleep in a long tiroup woke up refreshed and readied After a siathered to prepare for Yao Yuan's commands
"So, just like e planned yesterday We need a et us to Tennessee fast I believe the best bet will be planes However, from my assessments, army-commissioned planes will either have been blown up in wars by now or they will be locked behind so aside, the chances of theh I do have a lot of faith in our capabilities, but it's never easy to tell ill come out on the other end in a life-or-death situation Therefore, if it's at all possible, we shall avoid conflict at all costs Every single one of us has an instrumental role in the overall success of the operation, so please don't lose sight of the bigger picture in the heat of the ht was a success and therefore we shall adopt the same tactic today We will move only after the sun sets The main objective is to locate the spacecraft; the rest we shall decide later"
In a serious tone, Yao Yuan continued on with his orders, "This S city has three coe of don, and the other two in the city outskirts There was a o; that coupled with the five-day-long riot, the place has been rendered to ruins Even ot trashed, so the possibility of finding a working plane there is too low for us to risk the journey Although, the other two airfields ht prove to be fruitful, so I would like to us to separate evenly into two parties One of them will follow me to the city’s southern airport, while the other party shall follow Captain Wong to survey the city’s northern airport No ht!"
Guang Zhen stepped ahead and gave his old captain a salute "Sir, yes, Sir!"
Yao Yuan nodded his approval but not before issuing Wong another serious order "Listen to ; these are all your juniors Now you pro thele one of the Zhen
"If there's nothing else, then… dismissed!"
These were all military men, men of actions and not of words They knew this could be the final goodbye for anyone of them but there weren't any maudlin affairs of farewell, because the focus on the success of the roup left the shop in silence, weaving through the deserted streets, each clutching their aret locations
