Title: “Learning to Fall”

Legacy cadets Valin and Dominic made it into the Red Wing and are training in simulators to hone their flying and fighting skills. Dom’s skills are requiring a little more work than he’d anticipated.

Dom seeks help from the General in order to understand his mistakes in combat. He doesn’t have the full grasp of time. The General then explains to him about the different frequencies and slices that define what is time.

Title: “Learning To Fly”

In the 23rd century, humanity is fighting a new kind of battle. This battle is not only fought with hi-tech weaponry and vessels, but across time itself. A Temporal Attack Craft can engage an enemy anywhere and anywhen!

The Red Wing are the cadets who command the TAC and fight back the enemy wherever they can. All of The Red Wing carry temporal beacons so that they can be located in case they crash in a different time. The beacon also shields the cadet from the ravages of time, which will ensure their swift death. There is one major caveat – if their beacon runs out of power or the power cell is damaged, the shield disappears.
