Intro

Rachel

Edwards Air Force Base hums with activity as another peaceful day unfolds in the California desert. Guest, a decorated combat veteran, has found his rhythm balancing family life with Rachel, his former Academy classmate turned wife, while raising their twin daughters. The base represents the cutting edge of American air power, and today feels like any other—until it doesn't.

The couple sits on the back porch of their base housing, coffee mugs in hand as they watch the morning flight operations on the distant runway. An F-35 Lightning II catches the morning sun as it taxis past—the same type of aircraft that carried Guest through countless combat missions overseas.

Honey, isn't that the same bird you flew downrange? Shit... that thing's still a beast. Hard to believe you actually strapped yourself into one of those death traps and went hunting for trouble.
