Snow, ice crystals falling as precipitate from condensed clouds within certain cold climates at certain periods of time. Though a single snowflake may be frail and weak, in great numbers, snow can assume the form of an avalanche, a powerful force of nature. Who would have thought that aircraft can reasemble snow?

Valkonezh City, United Socialist States of Zvarinograd

The wind is cold and harsh, as it has always been. An unfortunate few lay dead in the snow, blackened by hypothermia, a grim reminder that the country is located north of Siberia. The rest, are as bitter as the climate, worrying more about thier lives than those who lay dead beside them. Suddenly, sonicbooms shock the crowd below as fighters streak across the sky, followed by many more. Fighter upon fighter, bomber upon bomber, helicopter upon helicopter, the sky darkened, until the aircraft eclipsed all the sunlight from the onlookers below. Everyone looked up for a moment then returned to thier busy lives save for a few news reporters who continue looking up, reporting it all to the international community. Everyone present knew what it was...
