subtle, almost surely psychic energy that passed between Kaiju when they communicated with the Overmind controlling and directing them. 
     
    Captain James Thornton and his copilot, Lieutenant Commander Marquis Calloway, shared the cramped space with him.  Neither of them was overly happy with Bach's modifications to their ship, and was less than enthused with the overall plan.
     
    “Lemura Tower, this is Trident One, over,” Calloway said as the lead Trident screamed through the sky.
     
    “Trident One, Lemura Tower has you five by five, over.”
     
    “Roger that, Lemura Tower. Commencing stage one flight in one-five seconds, over.”
     
    “Affirmative, Trident One. Good hunting. Lemura Tower out.”
     
    “Break trans, Trident Two, this is Trident One.
     
    “Go.”
     
    “On my mark, begin stage one ascent.”
     
    “Roger.”
     
    “Five... four... three... two... one... mark!”
     
    “Have you figured out where we're headed yet, Doc?” Thornton asked as he guided the Trident into a steep, rapid climb, with Trident Two mere feet from his wing. The two aircraft flew with a precision that would have been envied by stunt pilots of yesteryear. He added more thrust, as both of the aircraft climbed higher into the atmosphere. Trident Two matched his speed and course, the flight path programmed in before Thornton called off the first mark.  The powerful engines howled in response, the g-forces pressing the trio deeply into their seats.
     
    Bach shifted nervously in his chair.  So much was riding on this mission that he couldn't afford to be wrong.  “Just keep heading east, Captain. There's a very large cluster of Kaiju about an hour out from us.  The cluster is too large to be merely a migrating swarm, and the psychic energy readings I’m picking up from that location are off the charts.”
     
    Captain Thornton raised an eyebrow.  “Ya know, Doc, after all these years on the defensive, I never imagined I'd be hunting Kaiju like this.”
     
    “You're both crazy,” Calloway spoke up, his eyes never leaving the radar display before him.  “This is insane.  That's what it is.  I mean, if you're right about all this psychic energy junk, we're flying straight into the heart of Kaiju central.  I think I'd rather just set a course for Hell and be done with it.”
     
    Thornton laughed.  “I see your point, but come on, Calloway, we're making history here.”
     
    “Yeah, history,” Calloway frowned.  “How many living historical figures do you hang out with?”
     
    An alarm sounded from Dr. Bach's console.  He spun his chair around to take a glance at the readings coming in. His mind quickly disseminated the information. The spiking algorithms were correct, behaving exactly as his computer models had predicted they would.  He swallowed nervously as he brought up the overlay and compared the model to the current feed he was reading. They matched.  This was it.  He knew without a shadow of doubt that he had just located the Kaiju Overmind. 
     
    “What's up, Doc?” Thornton asked.
     
    Bach whirled around back to face him with a wide grin as the data he had just uploaded to their stations hit the ship's main screen.  “There it is, gentlemen.  That tiny island is the location of the Kaiju Overmind.  I suggest you take us in and let the troopers in the bay take it from here.”
     
    “Wait... you didn’t plan for an insertion?” Thornton looked at the scientist incredulously.
     
    “What do you mean?” Dr. Bach asked.
     
    “Sorry, Doc.  We can’t simply drop in, hit the beach, and unload the Dogkillers,” Calloway added. “We wouldn’t make it within five hundred feet of that island like this.  There’s probably a ton of Dogs down there, plus who knows how many Mothers are lurking off the island’s coast.” 
     
    “What?” Dr. Bach said in utter surprise.
     
    “It's not like these Tridents have cloaking devices doctor,” Calloway explained.  “We head straight
