The digital interface hovered in the air before Thomas Estaris, projected from his wrist console in crisp blue light. Rows of aircraft models rotated slowly, specs and costs displayed like digital dossiers. Beside him, Phillip stood silent, arms crossed, watching the selection unfold like a general previewing an army not yet summoned.

Thomas swiped through the interface once more. He had reviewed nearly every viable airframe in the system's vault: nimble fighters, rugged attack planes, agile bombers, and bleeding-edge prototypes.

All impressive.

All expensive.

But in this new world, he only need one aircraft that could do everything.

He returned to the F-16V Viper.
