Stealth Page #2

You're looking

at VLO stealth, captain.

lt's got a brain

like a quantum sponge.

And one day, its survivability

is going to fly right off the charts.

-Lieutenant Wade.

-lt's good to meet you, sir.

lt is a bag of chips, all right.

-Lieutenant Purcell.

-Honoured to meet you, sir.

lt will replace us all.

Looks and sounds

like science fiction, George.

Well, so did everything,

once upon a time.

Ain't that the truth.

Mr. Gannon.

Good to have you back.

Your first squadron tour still holds

some of the ship's most...

...impressive records.

Thank you, Captain Marshfield.

Records are made to be broken.

Rules too, if l remember

your philosophy.

Captain Cummings,

this is my XO, Mr. Carlson.

Carlson.

Why don't you meet me up on

the flight deck after you're through.

-You bet.

-Congratulations, George.

Thank you.

Good to see you again, Dick.

You too.

-lt's humming.

-No, EDl's thinking.

-Thinking? Thinking about what, sir?

-You. All of you.

He's going over your files.

He's reviewing all your flight logs.

Let's take it for a spin,

see what it can do.

No, no, no. Tomorrow.

-First, you gotta do your homework.

-Homework?

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

'' EDl UCAV. Extreme Deep lnvader.''

Yeah, l've been called that

a few times.

-l've heard that one.

-Yeah, right.

Well, hello, gorgeous.

Please, no pictures, please.

No pictures, please. Please.

Okay, take them.

Take them. Take them.

lt's open.

Study break.

You are one big study break.

Just a natural.

So that is the appeal.

Okay, because l was really

wondering how you manage...

...to pull a rocket scientist

at every port.

You better be careful, Ben, you know.

Hair bleach causes cancer in rats.

Well, l'm not a rat.

That's my appeal.

-You checking out the drone?

-Yeah.

Just barely skimmed the surface.

-We really are in the era of EDl.

-EDl.

Did l ever tell you

about that foster mother l had?

-The one who weighed 350 pounds?

-No.

Anyway, one day she comes home

with this Chihuahua, right?

Guess what she named him. Eddie.

-You know what l realized about you?

-What?

You got a foster mom

for every situation.

Hey, l lived through my childhood.

l may as well use it, right?

That's right.

So tell me, you think

Marshfield's right?

You think they're gonna trade us all in

for that machine?

No way. War is about tools.

Think about it.

Claws to clubs, bronze to steel.

-Best guy with the best weapon wins.

-Or girl.

And we all know who that is,

don't we?

The dull thud

of a Ben Gannon compliment.

Well....

Oh, pardon my C cup.

Study break is over.

Good morning to the crew

of the USS Abraham Lincoln.

Good morning to the crew
