For Colonel Sumitra Ramachandra, Major Lamarr Fitch, Captain Malcolm O'Connell and the rest of the ISS Mockingbird's crew jumping between solar systems is just the start of their wondrous, sometimes zany and often perilous missions. The future of aerospace defense stretches far above the blue yonder.The Mockingbird crew are pulled off their training schedule when a distress call from their sister ship, the Magpie reaches Earth from the Kuiper Belt. In preparation for rescue and possible hostilities, Colonel Rama's command is expanded with Medevac/Recovery Vehicle, two deep space fighters, a mysterious support crew and the Magpie's AI named Monk. Yet, there lurks covert objectives beneath Rama's emergency orders. During the rescue disaster strikes, and the ship suffers severely damaged. Survival throws the crew is thrown into crisis mode and pushes them all to their limits.Close Encounters For Their KindFlipspace 8Recouping from their losses, and breaking in replacements, Colonel Rama is briefed for a mission that potentially violates exo-solar planetary research treaties. Rediscovered among archives of a telescope considered lost in the prior century, the data includes surface changes on the alien world that may suggest intelligent life. Taking off under the cover of a scientific survey mission, the Mockingbird is actually loaded for bear. Conscious of the fact they are alien invaders, the surface team faces an indigenous species with aggressive tendencies beyond belief. The question is why?Raging PacificFlipspace 9After years, the once-broken terrorist group, Golden Fist of Pacifica reemerges. Using a new bioweapon, the GFP seize control over a corporate board of directors, and through them possession of the mult-e-nomic platform, Pacific City. This time NATO is required to act, and puts the Mockingbird on alert status. As a biologics expert and gene hacker, Todd Ash is tasked for clandestine insertion onto Pacific City over objections from Pan-American Combine agents. Branch rivalry with the PAC Marines during training belies the fact that Earth security is at stake.
