Greg and Violet have begun noticing odd noises at night. It’s common for them to hear the waves at night because they work on an aircraft carrier, but this was different. When the air alarm sounded, Violet realized right away that something odd was happening. And what she notices on the horizon raises further questions for her.

Pilots Immediately Call Authorities After Noticing An Unknown Object Get Close
Air Alarm
Violet is observing the sky while standing on the top deck. There is an air alarm sounding, and it appears like anarchy is about to break out. There are nearly all of the crew members on the deck, but Greg, one of her coworkers, is nowhere to be seen.

Air Alarm
Something on the horizon
One of her copilots then lets out a shout. He spoke incoherently to Violet while feverishly pointing at the horizon. When Violet followed his finger, she at once understood what was happening.

Something On The Horizon
Heading straight toward them
They’re being approached by something quickly. What may that be? All of the pilots were told to wait in line before departing for their aircraft. But what did they see in the sky? And where is Greg?

Heading Straight Toward Them
Heading to America
For the past few months, Violet and Greg have been constructing an aircraft carrier. They haven’t seen land in weeks while they transfer planes abroad. The type of aircraft they were moving wasn’t made clear by their lieutenant. Only their destination—from Ireland to America—is known to them.

Heading To America
Something strange going on
Greg prepares the planes on the ship’s upper deck so they are ready for takeoff. Violet’s plane is one of the eight that require urgent mechanical maintenance. As Greg does his thing, she makes sure everything runs well. But something is occurring that nobody is aware of.

Something Strange Going On
Sneaking around
On the ship, there are persistent rumors that two persons are creeping around. Nobody is sure if that’s true, but if it is, they will be found out and punished. Until either Greg or Violet starts to experience weird occurrences, neither of them really gives these rumors any thought. They discover that they are not alone.

Sneaking Around
Strange sounds at night
Violet has had nighttime insomnia. Around ten o’clock, all the lights go off, and after that, things normally get very quiet. But during the past two days, she has been startled by weird noises many times. She misidentified the sound as someone working late at night when she heard metal clattering on metal.

Strange Sounds At Night
Investigating
Greg confirmed hearing these sounds when she questioned him the next day. What may that be? They decide to look into it that evening. As usual, they waited until everyone was sleeping before going to bed. After that, they fled their apartments and gathered at the stairway.

Investigating
Breaching the contract
Both men and women were prohibited from sneaking out of their rooms by contract. They were all segregated from one another, and some even had restrooms in their rooms, so they didn’t have to use the halls at night. They had to take additional caution to avoid being discovered because of this. However, it wasn’t as simple as it appeared.

Breaching The Contract
Meeting at the staircase
Violet was the first to reach the stairway. She paid great attention to the quiet. When she first heard footfall, she assumed Greg was nearby, but then she heard a voice she wasn’t familiar with. In a hurry, she ducked beneath the steps and prayed for the best. Their entire strategy will fail if they spot her right now.

Meeting At The Staircase
Almost Caught
The footsteps drew nearer and nearer, and Violet’s pulse beat more quickly. The person who was arriving was standing next to her on the opposite side of the door. The door gently swung open as the handle descended. Violet refused to move at all while holding her breath. Was she going to be apprehended?

Almost Caught
The Sound Again
It turned out to be Greg, much to her relief, who had entered the room. She touched him on the shoulder as she emerged from behind him. He was surprised, and he almost yelled, but he restrained himself. They then heard the noise once more.

The Sound Again
Going Downstairs
Although the sound was barely audible, it was undoubtedly coming from downstairs. The two were aware that they needed to identify the sounds. It’s possible that something went wrong, putting the ship in peril. After each staircase, they anticipated to be on the correct floor, but the music never appeared to grow any closer. From where was it coming?

Going Downstairs
Twenty Floors Down
About twenty levels down on the ship, where the sound had to be originating from. For Violet, it was too far. She was exhausted and knew the noise had nothing to do with her field of expertise. As was typical for the ship, someone was probably up late working. Greg wasn’t persuaded, so she went to her room.

Twenty Floors Down
Going Back to Bed
Greg made the decision to continue and made a pledge to inform Violet if he discovered anything unusual. After receiving her satisfaction, Violet returned to her bed. Fortunately, everyone in her dorm was still asleep. She didn’t know what she would have done if she had been discovered. especially considering that the ship will shortly be subject to rigorous security.

Going Back To Bed
New Cargo
They would be loading their ship with extremely precious and hazardous cargo. She was unsure of what it was, but everyone anticipated increased protection.
It would have been disastrous for both of them if she or Greg had been discovered. But Violet realized there was a serious problem as soon as she awoke.

New Cargo
Where’s Greg?
Violet rose and left for her job. Greg was supposed to be working on her jet, but he was nowhere to be seen. He didn’t show up after she waited for a half hour. She made the decision to contact her lieutenant about Greg, but the lieutenant just provided her with additional questions. Was the level of security already increasing?

Where’s Greg?
Mind Her Own Business
The lieutenant’s response was imprecise. Violet was advised to mind her own business and that Greg had been sent to a separate area of the ship to work. Yet why? He may have been discovered!
after which was locked? However, word of it would have traveled like wildfire. The identical thing would have occurred if he had gone down the stairs. Where was Greg then?

Mind Her Own Business
Morse Code
During her lunch break, Violet walked downstairs to hunt for Greg. When she heard the unusual sound again, she had already descended nearly 10 flights of stairs. She finally understood what it was at that point.
Morse code was used! She began to calculate it in her mind. “Ready…for….?” What are you getting ready for? “Attack.”

Morse Code
Under Attack!
Violet became pale and realized she had to tell someone what the message in the code meant. They were about to be attacked. At that point, the air alarms sounded.
All across the ship, chaos broke out, and everyone was ordered to report to their stations in preparation for takeoff. What was going on?

Under Attack!
The Black Dot
Initially suspecting an exercise to test their security, Violet became aware of something in the horizon as she stepped out onto the deck. It was a little black dot, but it was becoming bigger very rapidly. Each pilot boarded their own aircraft and waited. Violet boarded the aircraft after it had been serviced that morning. However, she then became aware of something else.

The Black Dot
What Is It?
Every second brought the object closer, but it appeared to be familiar. The previous evening, she had seen it on the pier. Today was the day when it will be placed onto the ship.
Then, something in her mind began to click into place. Will her idea hold up to scrutiny, though? Her only source of information would be the craft’s pilot.

What Is It
A Theory
It was a strange notion, but perhaps this was a security test exercise. Especially since that precious and frightening black dot in the sky was. It would be a very difficult scenario if someone were to steal the item and use it against them.
However, this attack might also be legitimate. Violet had no idea.

A Theory
Violet’s Last Flight?!
There was a noticeable strain on the deck. Like every other pilot, Violet awaited the takeoff instructions. It was horrifying for her to realize what was heading at her from the sky. She prayed her assumption was correct because if it wasn’t, this may be her last flight. She was still unsure about Greg’s whereabouts. Would this be her last act?

Violet’s Last Flight?!
Tense Silence
The quiet on board the S.S. The aurora was almost unbearable. The crew members looked at one other uneasily, their eyes constantly straying to the large windows. There, in the great expanse of the sky, rose a mysterious object.
Everything had come to a stop due to its unexpected presence. The conversations dwindled. The growing anxiety was heightened by the warning beeps of the instruments. However, no one dared to express what they were all contemplating.

Tense Silence
The Direct Command
In the midst of the deafening quiet, a strange voice cracked over the ship’s radio, sounding oddly calm. The crew’s general disquiet increased when the command center said, “Aurora, this is the Command Center. We need an immediate and close reconnaissance of the unidentified object. Dispatch a jet.” There were many rumors and whispers regarding the potential candidate. It was a significant choice, and the chosen pilot would be faced with forging forth into the unknown.

The Direct Command
Violet’s Unforeseen Mission
The instant Commander Ryker’s eyes landed on Violet’s, her heart began to race. She blinked in astonishment. “Violet,” he said, his voice somber, “you’re our best. We need you.” She had been chosen by hand out of all the pilots. Violet forced a deep swallow as her disbelief rapidly gave way to resolve. She nodded as the burden of her purpose subsided. She would approach this riddle and face the terrifying unknown, saying, “Understood, Commander.”

Violet’s Unforeseen Mission
The Preparation
Technicians gathered around Violet’s Falcon aircraft in the large ship’s hangar. The onboard communication systems to the thrusters were all thoroughly assessed. Violet looked on intently while wearing her stylish pilot uniform. The chief technician briefed her on minor modifications made to improve the Falcon’s defense capabilities, and she paid close attention as he spoke. He eventually said, “She’s ready.” Violet took a deep breath and entered the cockpit, mentally preparing herself for the journey ahead.

The Preparation
Liftoff
The quiet was broken by the Falcon’s engines roar. The jet shot aloft as flames burst from the back thrusters. The crew of the spacecraft stared in astonishment as the hangar doors split apart, many of them sending quiet prayers. Violet’s grasp on the levers grew more rigid. In her line of sight, the enigmatic thing got bigger. She flew closer as her sensors continued to ping incessantly to gather data. She was unfazed by the huge uncertainty that lay before her.

Liftoff
All Eyes on Violet
Within the S.S. Every eye on the Aurora’s observation deck was glued to the displays. The tiny, lit dot that stood in for Violet’s jet proceeded slowly in the direction of the enormous, unidentified object. Even the ship’s janitors and other personnel showed up there, joining in the anticipation. Everyone clung to what little hope they had left, quietly encouraging Violet to go further and wishing for her safe return.

All Eyes On Violet
A Breath Before the Storm
Uncertainty tore at Violet’s mind as the hazy cloud enclosing the object grew closer. The unsettling mist appeared to be nearly sentient and beckoned her to explore it. She closed her eyes briefly while keeping her fingers firmly on the controls. She centered herself and took a deep, slow breath to brace herself for whatever lay ahead. The unknown was a formidable foe, but she was more prepared and more determined.

A Breath Before The Storm
First Contact
Violet’s eyes were welcomed with a strange sight that appeared through the cloud’s dense shroud. An airplane, unlike any she had seen before, was enclosed in the hazy veil. With slender lines and iridescent surfaces that defied basic aerodynamics, its design was unearthly. Its facade was covered with pulsating lights with an almost fascinating pattern. Inquisitive, Violet tried to establish a communication link in an effort to learn more about the purpose of the vessel.

First Contact
Radio Disturbances
As soon as Violet started making contact efforts, her headset burst into piercing static. Unsettling interference jarred the Falcon’s systems out of their continuous hum. Every frequency on her radio was overpowering as she attempted to tune it. It was quite difficult for her to tell the S.S. about her finding because the displays only showed fragments of the data. Aurora. Violet struggled with growing irritation and solitude while alone in the immense expanse.

Radio Disturbances
Desperation to Descend
Violet was alarmed by the growing disruptions, and her instincts begged her to get back to the shelter of the ship. She turned on her thrusters and made an effort to get away from the enigmatic aircraft. Warning lights flashed as she started the descent process, though. The landing mechanisms weren’t working properly. She was on the verge of going insane. Below, her exit was blocked, while above, the unknown awaited.
Every second that went by saw her situation getting worse.

Desperation To Descend
Blocked Communication
Violet tried to hail the S.S. several times, but the emptiness of the sky felt more intimidating than ever. Aurora. Each effort was met with eerie silence, interrupted sometimes by bursts of static. She desperately turned knobs and flicked switches, but nothing changed the situation. She experienced an awful weight of loneliness when alone in the clouds, and her pain was exacerbated by her allies’ silence.

Blocked Communication
Alarming Scenes Below
Violet cast a downward glance and spotted frantic activity on the deck of the Aurora. Figures moved quickly, lights flashed frantically, and shadows danced. She was too high to see specifics, but she could see the clear indications of mayhem below. She wanted she could help or, at the very least, understand what was causing the problem as her heart raced. As she watched the chaos develop below her, she had a pain of powerlessness.

Alarming Scenes Below
Unmanned Movement
A jet from the Aurora’s fleet started to taxi in the middle of the chaos. It moved erratically and without the accuracy of a skilled pilot. The airplane suddenly accelerated forward, its engines roaring furiously as it rose from the deck, shocking Violet. No one was seen in the cockpit, and the jet appeared to maneuver on its own. She was astounded by its unexpected, illegal takeoff.

Unmanned Movement
Rush to Runway
Panic increased on the Aurora’s deck. Crew members dispersed in all directions as the wayward airplane raced down the runway in an attempt to avoid its unexpected route. Alarms sounded, red warning lights glowed menacingly, and yells of urgency filled the air. Those who couldn’t make it to safety in time clung to any available anchor in the hopes that the strong current wouldn’t carry them out to sea.

Rush To Runway
In Pursuit
Violet felt a burst of resolve as she observed the pandemonium below. She was unable to watch in silence. She chased the evading plane by severely banking her airplane. Its upward zigzag appeared to be without purpose.
Her senses were focused on its trail as she closed the distance while swooping between clouds. She couldn’t stop wondering who or what was in charge of the renegade airplane. Where was it going, exactly?

In Pursuit
