Top Gun Maverick: Maverick x fem reader

Training part 3

3rd POV

Warlock, "Good morning. The uranium enrichment plant that is your target will be operational earlier than expected. Raw uranium will be delivered to the plant in ten days' time."

Hunter continues, "As a result, your mission has been moved up one week in order to avoid contaminating the target valley with radiation."

Pheonix comments, "Ma'am, no one here has successfully flown a low-level course."

Hunter turns to her and says, "Nevertheless, you've been ordered to move on. Captain."

Maverick, "We have one week left to focus on phase two. It's the most difficult stage of the mission. It's a pop-up strike with a steep dive, requiring nothing less than two consecutive miracles. Two pairs of f-18s will fly in a welded wing formation. Teamwork. Precise coordination of these aircraft is essential to both the mission's success and your survival."

Hunter gives the derivative, "As you know, the plant rests between two mountains. On the final approach, you'll invert directly into a steep dive. This allows you to maintain the lowest possible altitude and the only possible attack angle.

Your target is an impact point less than three meters wide. The two-seat aircraft will paint the target with a laser bull's-eye. The first pair will breach the reactor by dropping a laser-guided bomb on an exposed ventilation hatch.

This will create an opening for the second pair. That's miracle number one. The second team will deliver the kill shot..."

[Target lock beeps]

"And destroy the target. That's miracle number two. If either team misses the target..."

That's a miss.

Maverick, "The mission is a failure."

Damn it!

Hunter continues, "Egress is a steep high-g climb out to avoid hitting this mountain. A steep climb at that speed, you're pulling at least eight g's. Nine, minimum. The stress limit of the f-18's airframe is 7.5. Hunter That's the accepted limit. To survive this mission, you'll pull beyond that, even if it means bending your airframe. You'll be pulling so hard, you'll weigh close to 2,000 pounds, your skull crushing your spine..."

Grunting

"Your lungs imploding like an elephant's sitting on your chest, fighting with everything you have just to keep from blacking out."

Grunting, gasping

Maverick, "And this is where you'll be at your most vulnerable. This is coffin corner. Assuming you avoid crashing into this mountain, you'll climb straight up into enemy radar while losing all of your airspeed.

Within seconds, you'll be fired upon by enemy sams. You've all faced sustained g's before, but this...This is gonna take you and your aircraft to the breaking point."

Coyote asks, "Sir, is this even achievable?"

Hunter replies, "The answer to that question will come down to the pilot in the box."

[Sonic boom]

Phoenix asks her RIO, "Talk to me, Bob."

Bob replies, "We are 12 seconds late on target."

Coyote yells in the COMS, "We gotta move! We gotta move!"

Phoenix replies, "Copy. Try to stay with me." T

heir radar starts beeping, "Huh? Wait, who's that?"

Maverick in the cockpit of his jet, "Blue team, you've been spotted."
