Commander Fisher stood inside Hangar 21, watching intently as her team of mechanics made the final adjustments to the MM-44 Missile Launch Vehicle (MLV). Her crew had assembled and were awaiting further instruction.
‘Get the MLV started Corporal Garcia,’ Fisher shouted above the noise that filled the hangar. ‘This time we go for real.’
The crew boarded the MLV, the engine burst into life, and Corporal Garcia accelerated through the hangar doors and into the Arizona night.
