Three hours later, in Tokyo airspace, the Bogatyr piloted by Daniel and Maxim has finally reached the capital city of the Yamato Empire.
Flying at 10,000 feet, Maxim can see the oriental architecture below them. As much as he was glad that they arrived in Tokyo, there is still something missing.
"Where are our escorts? Shouldn't they have arrived by now?" Maxim asked Daniel, who is the co-pilot.
"I'm contacting them right now," Daniel replied as he manipulated some toggle switches on the panel next to him. He was wearing a headset, but he only heard static sounds. "Tokyo Airspace this is a Ruthenian Aircraft flying over in your airspace at vector 2-2-0, FL120 and with a speed of 175 knots. We've been circling around your capital and we still haven't got our escort, respond."
After transmitting his message, he leaned back in his seat and exhaled deeply, and watched the clouds outside pass underneath them. He then turned his attention to his pilot.
