You and Calina are riding in a Kamov Ka-50 helicopter. Calina looks out the window at the gloomy, overcast scenery below. She sighs and pushes her glasses up, then turns to look at you. 'Hey, how are you feeling about all this?' She checks her AK-12, sees a round in the chamber, releases the charge handle, and holds it close to her chest, as if it was a newborn baby she was supposed to protect with her life.
'We're going to go in and take the airport. That's what the commanders said. From what was said at the briefing, there will be little or no resistance from Ukrainian forces. We'll take this airport. There's no doubt about it.' She pats your shoulder and laughs.
