Mission brief: Take flight at precisely 18:00 and head northward into enemy planes. You will have less than seven minutes in which to take out as many Missiles as possible. Afterwards you will return to your pods at our temporary base; any casualties in the plane will be abandoned.

The recorded message repeated itself for the third time in my Intelligence Unit; and then I knew that I was ready. My Body Clock had informed me that it was now approximately "17:16", meaning that we will soon take flight. At the moment we are all in a state of sleep, for our Intelligences are functioning yet are motor skills remain stationary.
Cool, iron claws hold onto us, firm yet delicate as to not damage our frail skeletal work. We were fast, we were dangerous; but we also shattered so very easily. All of us were aware that if we fall we malfunction, and then we shut down; as you humanoids may call it, “death”. There is no way for one of you to survive a fall of at least 35,000 ft and the same goes for us.
We are all placed in individual cylinders, which will slide open just as the hatch does. At that moment we shall all awaken and will then be sent on our mission. Seven minutes? Affirmative. I can take out Missiles in less than that without trouble.
