By the time Ji Xinghe arrived at the hangar, Major Jackson had already taken off, not needing to say goodbye to anyone.
"Lieutenant Ji Xinghe, Major Jackson said... you don't need to go to the rescue, he will handle it on his own."
"His words don't matter, I've received the mission and decided to accept it."
Ji Xinghe didn't explain much or think too much, he just made the decision to go for the rescue mission.
"But the only Single Soldier Starship in our base capable of carrying people has already departed with Major Jackson. There isn't a second one available."
The hangar staff was in a predicament. Single Soldier Starships weren't designed for passenger transportation. The only modified Training Model Single Soldier Starship had already been flown away by Major Jackson with the pilot.
"Get me one."
"But the communication is intermittent and steering a Single Soldier Starship in a dust storm entails great risk."
