Adrian Air Force Base - near Chisliag, Zoogiedom

Sun set on an air force base in the outermost confines of the Chisliag area. Adrian AFB - one of the air force's most utterly secret testing centers. It was here that projects such as Zoogie Aerospace's Firebird and Star System's Zweihaender had first taken off...and it was here, now, that even darker projects were forming.

As the last rays of the sun were disappearing beyond the horizon, an imposing shape was rolled onto runway 3, its outline visible against the sun...at last it was towed into position, and people began to scramble about.

"This is Omnia one, requesting clearance from Tower Control." It wasn't even a radio transmission - rather, stealthy text communications.

"Omnia one, you are cleared for takeoff," returned the tower control.

"Standby..."

The sleek aircraft prototype was now fully ready to take off for its first flight test. The computer systems did a quick check-over of all the systems and avionics of the aircraft, and gave the pilot the green light. The pilot then pulled back the wheel breaks and switched on both engines.

"Omnia one, starting engines," typed the pilot, and slid the thrust controls to maximum, engaging the afterburner. Quite suddenly, a blue glow protruded from the aircraft rear. The nose of the plane dipped slightly, and it slowly began to move.

After a very short period of time - ten seconds? No, less...five seconds at most - the aircraft's speed picked up rapidly. It streaked across the runway, barely a blur, and took off into the night sky...

"Omnia one is airborne," said the pilot, retracting the gear. The first flight of the Chasquis had begun.

OOC: Just a note, when referring to my country name, please use 'Zoogiedom...' it sounds like a country name, rather than 'The Zoogie People.' Sorry if this is a triple post.

The pilot of the Chasquis eased off the throttle as he began to ascend. The aircraft kept this slow yet steady ascension - fuel was aplenty - until it reached an altitude of 80,000 feet.

At this point, he leveled off the aircraft and proceeded out to considerably more rural areas over the mountains.

Then he engaged the engines again, turning on afterburners and extending thrust to full military power. The jets of blue flame shot out of the rear once more, and after a few seconds the aircraft picked up enormous speed, rocketing across the sky.

The pilot smiled to himself at the success. If we had some MiG-31s flying chase, it would be like watching a Star Wars ship jump into hyperspace.

:arrow: For SC.

Defense Minister Brian Dredon announced today a conference on air force technology, open to all nations at the discretion of the Zoogie government. In other news...

In the three islands area on the easternmost edges of Zoogiedom, the Chasquis prepared for a landing. Barely any civilians populated this area - for such a large amount of land, only 6 million civilians could call it home.

Slowing down from 'hyperspace,' it descended rapidly and vectored towards the landing strip...the aircraft touched down lightly, and after dragging along the runway for a distance, stopped.

"Success," announced a technician who stepped out onto the airfield as the pilot stepped out from his hangar. "I presume you did very well?"

"It was like Star Wars," said the pilot, bouncing with excitement. '"How often is it you get to fly over speeds of Mach 4...."

"Good, good...anyways, come with me for your debriefing. Your next flight back to Adrian (46 miles outside Chisliag; no other major cities nearby though to identify with) will be Thursday..."
