Western portion of the AIF homeland

''The air is calm and still, and civillians are going about their daily lives. The sun bears down overhead, and the few clouds in the sky are low on the horizon. Suddenly, a low, odd noise begins to drown out the clamor of everyday life. It rapidly grows in pitch and intensity, sounding for all the world like a massive aircraft. Within the roar, an odd whistling noise can be heard. However, nothing is visible in the sky except for a faintly shimmering area, low on the western horizon over the water. It draws nearer and nearer, the low roar growing louder and going higher and higher in pitch until those on the ground are covering their ears and cringing in pain. The shimmering disturbance then turns to the north, staying just outside AIF territorial limits. Suddenly, the odd whistling grows in intensity until it is an impossibly loud shriek, and the roar starts to stutter and emit strange cracking and popping noises accompanied by the groans of tortured metal. The shimmering disturbance, now shimmering even more, finally wavers and collapses as a gargantuan, orange-black, twin-fuselage aircraft appears in its place. Suddenly, all the groans, shrieks, and pops jump in volume as huge black plumes erupt from the rear of the craft, which sharply banks away to the west, away from land. Debris begins erupting from the departing aircraft, followed shortly by a huge explosion and an unimaginably loud KKKKKRRRRRAACCCCKKKBBBBBBOOOOOOOMMMMMM. The stricken aircraft seems to falter in the air and enters a slow spiral, but it regains control shortly and glides over the western horizon. ''

''Several hours later, multiple seismographs and buoys record a powerful impact in the shallow waters of an uninhabited atoll in the middle of the western ocean, equivalent to a 6.0-magnitude earthquake. Another hour after the recorded impact, a two-foot high miniature tsunami impacts the west coast of the AIF homeland, leading witnesses to wonder whether or not the wave was connected to what they had seen earlier.''
