In a hangar north of Groom Lake, Nevada, a secret military avionics division (codename: “Dreamland”) has been developing the world’s fastest and most maneuverable jets. These high-tech models are designed to fly in and out of enemy territory with blinding speed, evading all defenses to deliver highly accurate anti-personnel ordnance. In short, these jets can can chase down a terrorist, knock on his front door, and say “Hi there. Have a missile, compliments of the US military.”

Thirteen of these deadly warbirds were created and kept under a veil of secrecy and dubbed “The Assassins.” However, a rogue commando group breached Dreamland’s defenses and escaped with all 13 jets. Intelligence believes this group intends to sell these planes to the highest bidder, opening the door for terrorist organizations and enemy governments to get their hands on the technology. This cannot happen.

As a member of a high-level, first-response Joint Task Force Scramble Team (JTF-ST) acting outside the restrictions of normal government, you must strap yourself into the cockpit of your jet and pursue the escaping planes. As a military special ops force, Scramble Team has been given use of a special prototype — the Afterburner Mark X.

The Afterburner Mark X is theoretically capable of matching speeds with the assassin jets, but it is still under development and must be constantly upgraded. Fortunately for us, the thieves overlooked this crucial piece of hardware, and now it has been fitted onto your aircraft.

You’ve been handpicked for this mission. Your superior skills and excellent combat abilities in the air are what sets you apart from the rest. That, and you are the only pilot insane enough to volunteer for this mission. If anyone can pull off these objectives and return the jets, it’s you.
