"Overnight In Bay Seven"
SHORT STORY
"V-AFB, I'm awaiting clearance for landing."
"Copy that
Incoming Flight,
we have your authorisation coming through now."
"Roger."
G-2 cut through the air without much effort. His streamlined form was built for high speed: perfectly inclined wings, the latest avionics for lightning-fast flight control, and an efficient turbojet engine burning in the core of his body. A dip in acceleration was needed as he turned, tilting to the right before levelling off. His comms were experiencing some static, and the weather wasn't great, so he decided to change heading to see if he could expel some of the interference. Bringing a hand to his cheek, nestling aside his pointed, bird-like head, he felt the rush of cool air slip between his fingers as increased drag came into effect.
"
In
coming Flight,
you are authorised for approach."
"Received, V-AFB. I'm making my approach now," G-2 said over the comm-link.

welcome to Viktishelm Air Force Base."
Making his descent, G-2 could feel the stream of air through his nasal inlets and the large intakes on his shoulders. It surged through him, as natural as breathing, finding its way into his chest where it mixed with jet fuel and compressed deep inside his core before firing out behind him in a roaring column β lighting up the evening skies. His lower back heated up as his primary exhaust blazed with life. Above his ankles, secondary jets grew from the biometal exterior of his flesh, helping him steer during flight.
Bystanders around the landing zone watched the incoming figure as he began his final approach. Many moved on β another unit dropping by, so what? One or two others hung around, fresh recruits catching their first glimpse of one of his kind for real.
G-2 was an aeromorph; a humanoid aircraft. A creature of machinery and military might.
Cutting through the dwindling light, he twisted and turned, whirred and whirled...
All in all, certainly a sight to see.
The landing-lights stretched out before him. G-2 prepared himself, adjusting his position to direct his jets where he was hurtling. As they burned, he slowed down, allowing the cybernetic being to 'drop' gracefully and land on his two feet. They depressed against the scorched asphalt of the runway, keeping him steady as he reduced his engine output until at last silencing the thunder of his jets. The tinny whine of his fans spinning slower and slower passed as well, and G-2 stood up straight. Brushing his chest, the visiting 'aero' set off to find the nearest ranking officer.
G-2 was confident his affairs at Viktishelm AFB would be short and sweet. A new prototype due for air trials β the hopes and dreams of his brood and future siblings rested on how he performed here and now.
His upright body towered over most buildings on-base, and the human personnel moved like mice around him β shuffling, scurrying, carefully avoiding his footfalls. G-2 glowed with confidence as he strode, his slender frame head-to-toe covered in new, never-before-seen stealth compounds. Radar-dampening materials infused into the very fibre of his being; synthetic skin drizzled in classified tech. He knew he had potential, and no matter how much he hated flying far out into the sticks to attend trials, he could comfort himself with the fact it would only be for a couple of hours.
That is...until he met the base commander and received his orders. Standing stupidly tall in the mess hangar, other aeros giving side-glances to the new arrival, he was told by the tiny creature on the elevated platform before him that the trials had been postponed until tomorrow. Inclement weather, was the reason, but G-2 felt he could still excel in adverse conditions β surely that was part of proving himself?
Alas, he was overruled, and told to find a place to spend the night. Dismissed, he may or may not have stormed off in a huff β giving a certain impression to the denizens of Viktishelm. Fellow aeromorphs, like himself, who may or may not think the 'new guy' was too full of himself.
G-2 paid them no mind, instead retiring to a hangar bay on the far side of the base, away from all the locals. Alone, and quite pleased with the isolation, he tried his best to relax.
* * *
G-2's hangar bay was cramped. Ill-equipped for any morph larger than a reconnaissance unit, a fact he intended to raise with the base commander once his trials were completed. The uncomfortable aero reclined as much as he could, finding small comfort in the tight space. Rain beat down on the metal ceiling, it's incessant
plink-plink-plink
keeping his auditory system busy. Eventually he tuned out the noise, and tried to rest.
Tomorrow,
he told himself,
tomorrow and then I can return to Central.
He half-opened an eye, peeking at the dull sheet metal of the hangar bay door. Rust crept in from every angle, marring the door with orange flakes.
Ugh...tomorrow I'll be rid of this middle-of-nowhere shithole...
An hour or two passed, his systems recharging. G-2 remained still, his cybernetic body propped up against the nearest wall. Arms limp, crossed over his torso. Legs extended, managing to match the bay's dimensions (if only just about). On each limb, hard metallic fuselage flowed, with softer synth-flesh exposed at the joints. His hands and finger followed a similar design β flexible where needed, solid otherwise. His back bent slightly, leaving room for the wing-pack jutting from below his shoulders. Military decals decorated the surface of each, freshly-transferred β you could still smell the paint. Each wing spanned two-thirds of the width of his chest, the pair stretching past his upper arms and terminating in slender, swept-back tips.
G-2's figure gave the impression of balance...of control. Narrowed to improve aerodynamics.
Slim.
Svelte.
Graceful.
The first of a new breed; a new model. G-2's parentage a state secret, he only knew life as an aeromorph β many years of childhood compressed into one, training, indoctrination, moving from base to base with no real place to call home. For a human, this would surely drive one insane. Not G-2. His government-mandated programming kept him from losing himself that way.
A small heated gust escaped his jets as the living war machine inhaled vast gulps of damp air. Relaxing after his yawn, his turbines quickly spooled down. Despite his resting state, part of his consciousness kept on ticking over, keeping an eye on vital systems. Especially energy. He needed the bulk of his strength for tomorrow. No sense going hungry the night before, and having to explain to Central why he filed for extra fuel expenses.
Night-time called. And fatigue cursed his artificial hide, a dismal inheritance from his human creators.
* * *
Sleep came and went, passing the time in bursts of nothingness.
G-2 shifted. One leg bent, he dragged his rubber-soled foot along for the ride. Scraping the dusty floor, occasionally striking something human-portable that made a noise β a workbench, or forklift, he didn't care β it came to rest placed firmly against his thigh, filling the gap left by the curve of his ass. Next to it, and bound tightly in a ballistic fibre jock-strap, were his genitalia. A cock and balls. Well, that's not what the Air Force said on their paperwork β 'data delivery module' (DDM) and 'data nodes' for his unmentionables; and they weren't clad in a skimpy male thong either, it was formally referred to as an 'all-weather uniform transit pouch'. In keeping with the sanitised view of their war assets, no asshole but an 'waste egestion port' β no breasts on females of his kind, just 'long-range reserve fuel tanks'. Such a list of terms went on and on.
Eyes? 'Optical sensor arrays'.
Lips? 'Vulcanised moisture seals'.
The sultry curve of his ass, perched above his sinuous thighs? G-2 had long forgotten the designation...
He let a smile form in his slumber.
The lengths gone to control language itself, to deny to the world the all-to-human nature of their killing machines...
What could anyone say? Bigwigs liked their nomenclature.
G-2's sleep state reverted when he heard a loud clang. Given his size (many tens of feet tall) he knew from the sound that it was something big. Something very big.
Another noise, this time a heavy thud, got his attention. The curious aeromorph rose to his feet, slowly, angling his pointed head in the direction it seemed to come from.
Another, then another...almost like...footsteps...
A towering presence emerged, G-2 glancing upwards to greet it. Shadows cast themselves across the whole of the bay.
"They say you're one of the new prototypes."
Above him, leaning on the wall separating two hangar bays, a large morph stared down G-2.
"Who's they?"
The mottled surface of the stranger and tell-tale welding seams removed any doubt. This was a heavy bomber, and by the looks of his pockmarks and aged, rumbling voice, he had been on active duty for a long, long time...
"Rumour mill is hard at work. I got ears, don't I? So, son, why don't you give me something to work with." The larger male applied his weight to the wall, revelling in the creak and strain of the structure as it tried to support his sheer size. Rivets snapped, popping out and falling away like tiny grains of sand. Thick arms bulged with hydraulic muscles, pushing out against his metal skin. "Extended range? Fuel efficiency? Huh? Or weapons tech we haven't seen before?"
G-2 held his tongue. He'd prefer to be left alone, but if he had to humour one of the local aeros to get some proper rest then there really wasn't a choice. "I'm not at liberty to discuss," he said, puffing his chest.
