Chapter Three (C): Jake & Thorchan

[CarcerKango]

Jake considered his words carefully before saying, "I wasn't thinking anything like that at all, ma'am. I honestly can't imagine what it was like to be in your situation."

Then he saw a fighter.

Not just any fighter. A heavy-class Aerospace dogfighter.

It was yellow, with thick, angular yellow stripes, jagged and thorny. Thick armor, with two forward wings bearing what Jake recognized as upgraded Medium Lasers, possibly extended-range versions. It had four splayed-out, forward-swept rear wings, each bearing a Large Pulse Laser, and four rear thrusters that seemed to be equipped with boosters or something similar.

It was like no Aerofighter he'd ever seen before, and as a pilot, all he could say was, "She's beautiful."
