You are a member of a Special Forces military unit. You have flown many secret military planes, and even tested prototype space vehicles and advanced weapons. You are the top-ranking test pilot in the force.
After your latest Special Forces mission, you are taking some well-earned rest. You are relaxing at home, watching a news bulletin. There are reports of strange weather patterns across the world. Typhoons, hurricanes, thunderstorms and sandstorms are battering cities, causing death and destruction across the planet.
At that moment your doorbell rings. You open the door to reveal a man and a woman, both dressed in stiff black suits. They show you their IDs.
“Agent Roberts,” the man says, “and this is Agent Lee. We’re with Earth Defence.”
“Never heard of it,” you say.
“That’s because it’s a top-secret unit,” replies Roberts.
“We need your help,” says Lee.
