It was a warm (note that we are in Indonesia) December morning. Commander Noah checked his watch. 5:09 am "just in time." he said to himself.

He looked around. It was a sand-covered clearing in the thin jungle. Just then, he looked back at his watch. "5:12 am" he noted.

Soon after, a mechanical whir started. Followed by a load buzz. Then a roar of machinery pulling open a door in the middle of the huge clearing. The door was gray, but covered in fake sand. Noah looked at his watch. "Show time." he said aloud.

The doors where open, and a ladder had just raised up for Noah to descend. He climbed down and looked around. It was a bland room, with only a box of tools laying in one corner. He then saw the handle. it was carefully concealed behind some fake leafs. he opened it, and a black clad employee lead him down the hallway. after afew minutes they entered a room with lots of computer equipment. one of the computers had just printed out a piece of paper addresed to him it said;

"Thank you." noah said to the employee, his face changing from a tired, uneasy frown to a warm smile. "you are very much welcome." replied the employee, and with that they shook hands and introduced each other.

"and what dose your boss want to show we?" said noah, already fealing wide awake.

"that fighter we have been working on, right this way." with that, the employee started off towards the exibit room.

the exibit room was a huge room. high above them where windows at ground level letting in the early-morning sunshine. all around them where tables displaying various things related to the Fighter, and there was one table that had a 1/12th size model of the fighter resting atop it. they where soon off towards a elevator.

they soon where on the elevator, and where going up towards a area at ground level. as the elevator stopped, the fighter itself came into sight. it was a ultramodern stealth fighter, with platic missles mounted on for effect. the hangar door was open, letting in a cool breeze. "impressive." noah remarked.

People milled around the fighter in awe. "so this is the new fighter that was in the newspaper." was a common remark.

"Sucess." remarked the president of Esryia as he watched the sight on live tv.
