1990, at the selection site for test pilots in an aviation academy.
"Astrella Brooks?"
"Present!"
"Are you willing to voluntarily participate in the supersonic test flight mission? The mission duration is indefinite, the location classified and once you commit, contact with the outside world will be prohibited except under special circumstances. Please confirm!"
"I confirm!" Astrella declared, her voice unwavering. "I am willing to join the test flight mission to protect the skies of our motherland!"
"Test flight missions are inherently perilous. Are you prepared to sacrifice your life if the mission demands it?"
Astrella’s faint smile carried quiet determination. "I’ve long since accepted the risks of life and death. Without the sacrifices of test pilots, the advancement of aviation would never take flight."
Test pilots were known as "the profession closest to death in peacetime."
One tiny misstep could mean a fatal end.
