but this 'Giant Volcom' as it's codenamed could be a lot of trouble". Cadet Rico looks at you grimly.
"That's not all that was on those plans, they have something even worse in store for Earthforce...
Since they are lacking Microchips, they need to get them somewhere,
and these plans tell us they've targeted the Earthforce station, Whiskey Outpost! It's very lightly defended,

With even one of these advanced fighters, they can lay waste to most of our defenses and gather what they need to make more!
