8 Hours before the operation. Dean was packing his bag before going to catch on a cargo plane heading for Eurasian Federation for the joint military operation between the North American Federation and Eurasian Federation, something once to be thought to be impossible if asked more than 50 years ago, before the existence of Menkaid and its derivatives.
"Dean, are you going to go? Like, really?" Adams asked as he helped Dean packing his bag.
"Yeah, I think so. You need to keep an eye on my squad, in case they went awry. Besides, you've done so much, including recon mission on Eurasian Federation." Most of the pictures were not taken from the satellite, but from Adam's photograph using the F-15SB.
Adams was also injured from one freak incident. He walked to the middle of a road and a car crashed into his leg, injuring him. He would heal up, but doing an operation while limping would be a true suicide without any doubt. Dean didn't really want to sacrifice his friend for this.
