the two shuttles disconnected and the ramp retracted. He completed his preflight checks when Solice and an engineer came onto the flight deck. Arthur didn’t recognize him, which wasn’t a surprise since he didn’t really associate with to much of the crew,
aside from the flight crew and the command staff. </span></p>

seat. Snoopy looked at him with surprise. First of all, he did not need a copilot. It was fine for the doctor to sit there, after all, she was the command officer. But why should this guy be there. On top of that discomfort he could feel sweat start to
bead on his back, and a slight shiver. He put that out of his mind and focused on getting out of that ion cloud.</span></p>

separated from Zertos 3. The ship moved smoothly through the lower atmosphere. Then it hit the ionosphere with a jolt. The next minute snd 27 seconds were a little rougher. They hit pockets of high ionized energy that Snoopy had been able to avoid. His
focus became so sharp that all of his discomfort had disappeared. He was Snoopy, the youngest pilot to have been made squadron commander of the 12th Fighter Squadron- The Ravagers.</span></p>

they emerged from the cloud cover, and Snoopy set course to the Illuminar. He felt his body relax. Then it began to relax a little too much. Sweat was starting to form on his brow. He tapped his comm channel.</span></p>
