“Command, this is Acorn One. Command, come in, do you read? Over.”
[Ack! I’m hit! Oh God!]

“Copy that Acorn One, The Nest is reading you loud and clear. Over.”

[It’s coming by again! Get down!]
“We’re getting hammered down here, Command. Requesting immediate air support, now! Over!”

“Roger that Acorn One. Request granted. Sending some Gliders your way. Over.”

*

“Sugar Squad, do you copy? Over.”

“Copy, Command. Sugar One responding. Over.”

“Got a request for a fly-by. Sending you the coordinates now. Over.”

“Received, Command. Sugar Squad, preparing to launch. Over.”

*

“Got that bombing run on the way, Acorn One. Sit tight, boys. Over.”

[Sir! Spreckle’s been hit!]
[Aaugh! So…soggy… Tell my mate I love her…]
“Roger that, Command. You’re really saving our nuts on this one.”

*

“Sugar One to Sugar Two. Come in, Sugar Two.”

“Sugar Two reporting.”

“Let’s get an open channel up here.”

“Done. Air’s yours, Sugar One.”

“Good. Gliders! Report in.”

“This is Sugar Three, reporting.”

“Sugar Four, reporting in.”

“Sugar Five here.”

“How’s that tail wind, Sugar Five?”

“Steady and ready to drop the yolks on these folks, Captain.”

“That’s what I like to hear, Corporal. Gliders! V-formation! Our target’s the giant at the smokestack.”

“Let’s get these assholes.”

“Hoorah!”

*

“Ugh, Christ!”

“What’s the matter, honey?”

“I think some squirrels just threw bird eggs at me.”

“I told you, it agitates them when you turn the sprinklers on. I think it hits their nest or something.”

“Ew! These eggs are rotten!”

“I keep reminding you to adjust the sprinkler head.”

“Dammit, some of it got on the grill, too.”

“How about we just finish up the burgers inside?”

“Ugh, fine.”

*

“Confirmed hit, Command. Dead on target. The giants are turnin’ tail.”

“Roger that, Sugar Squad. Great job out there today, boys. Come on home.”
