11:02 Hours – Upper Stratosphere, Above the Aurelia Republic
The sky was calm. Just the silence of altitude and the hum of machinery built for annihilation.
Thirty-six B-21 Raiders—sleek, matte-black delta-wing bombers—glided silently through the upper atmosphere at nearly 50,000 feet. These weren't normal aircraft. They were 6th-generation stealth bombers purchased by Alberto through his System, technology centuries beyond the current world.
Made with meta-carbon composites, equipped with high-spectrum cloaking fields, and powered by quantum fusion turbines, these aircraft could operate beyond radar, beyond altitude interception, and beyond the comprehension of most surface nations.
Inside Raider 017, the pilot's voice came through the encrypted comms channel.
"Echo-Lead, this is Raider Seventeen. Visual on target package 'Aurora Node' confirmed. Coordinates locked. All systems green."
