Scott Archer has spent the past three years on the Luna 2 base. He has been there as part of the reserve defense force/fighter jet instructor. During his three years he had maintained his Ground Forces ranking of Sergeant. His daily routines consisted of mock dogfighting against saberfish. Usually the instructors would be in the same unit as the trainees but since Scott is a veteran of many battles, he was given special treatment and continued to use his Core Fighter.
This is how his days went by. the trainees nicknamed Scott "the silent pilot" because true to his core he only spoke when the situation warranted it. Sure he had some lazy pilot trainees that thought they could just cruise through his mock dogfights, then Scott showed them why his lessons were supposed to be taken seriously.
The year is now 0083. On his way to the hanger to start yet another mock dogfight, a EFSF solider handed him some papers... they had the seal of the EFSF and a big confidential stamp on it. Then that same solider handed Scott another set of papers which contained a letter from EFF command, it read,
"To Sergeant Scott Archer. As of this moment you are put beck into active duty with the Earth Federation Space Force. You are granted the continued use of your current mobile weapon assignment, Core Booster. Enclosed is a approved transfer into the EFSF as well as a promotion and ranking within the Space Forces. Also you will receive your mission brief, which is to be destroyed upon reading. Your field CO will contact you shortly. Welcome back to battle Senior Chief Petty Officer Archer."
The courier saluted Scott and left. Scott looked back at the rush of mechanics working to get the Core Booster back up to spec. He then looks at the file folder and looks back up and out into space. A slight grin came on his face as he quietly said...
"Core Booster, Launching"
