"All pilots, begin data uplink." A voice came, as though from inside her head. Touka immediately released one of the joysticks before her and depressed a button with a knuckle. "Uplink completed."<br/><br/>"Hey. Tenth Flower." Came a voice over the comms. Ten Flower was a literal translation of her name. "I hear we're cracking down on some terrorists today. Isn't it funny? How they are the ones now running as the terrorists." The voice sighed, "History really is written by the victors."<br/><br/>"We'll have to evacuate the citizens of that area, eliminate any hostilities and capture Espers. This is quite a lot of work. Luckily, we have the Tesseract system overseeing this operation." She responded in a disconnected manner, leaning over to the side to glace down at the terrain speeding past below and her carrier drone above.<br/><br/>"You still outfitted with that exploding GPS?"<br/><br/>"Yes, why?"<br/><br/>"Some of the Mechs heading down to Area ten with us are equipped with hacking modules."<br/><br/>"What? Why?"<br/><br/>"To fry their communications and stop their aircraft maybe?"<br/><br/>******<br/><br/>"Where were you? You're an hour late and we suspect an Armenian satellite is going to be overhead. You will need to disembark quickly."<br/><br/>"We were caught in some flight difficulties. And please remember to maintain radio protocol." Alexander said before switching the communications off. Right now, they were above London and they did not even have to wait to use the runway because there was no one left. He extended the landing gear in preparation to land. Just ahead, he could see some figures on the runway waiting for him. The craft landed smoothly, though slightly shakily in his haste. Once the craft had come to a stop, he exited the plane, not even waiting for the ladder. "Let us move quickly." He said in Russian, beckoning for his comrades to hurry up.<br/><br/>******<br/><br/><span style="text-decoration: underline">Half an hour later,</span><br/>Alexander had just arrived in the room where all the other Espers all over the world had gathered. It was a miserable few of them. Some of them were obviously way too young to be in the military force, much less a covert operations team.<br/><br/>The door swung open for a man who hastily announced, "There is a large Armenian force headed this way. There is no doubt that it is because of us. We are in the process of evacuating what is left of the civilians."<br/><br/>"How much longer do we have?" Alexander asked before turning to dismiss the two following him, "Your duty is done." He turned back to the man, "What will you have us do?"<br/><br/>"We know a squad of mechs, no more than ten have been sent down here. We intend to force their pilots to abandon them so that we can gain more intel on their technology."<br/><br/>"And where will we come in?" Alexander asked, slightly guarded towards this plan of theirs.<br/><br/>"You will have to act as our eyes and perhaps cause distractions so that we can land a good shot on them."
