According to the book of Gemini, Query 300, response 25: Ye who believe you can fly may do so if you do not understand the mechanical concepts of Bernoulli's Principle. Go forth, spread your wings, and spend eternity as a monument to my knowledge.

It's unlikely they have mobilized this unit. There are many closer units that would be easier and cheaper to activate instead of one half way around the world.

They were in Okinawa 3 weeks ago and in Australia now. I'm not physically looking at them, but there is enough news from their PAO if you filter for the last month in Google News.

Thx buddy. Wishposting false info is bad for everyone. Take 10 seconds and confirm basic info before posting.

Yeah, it's a real Murphy's Law situation; it is easier to get an answer by making an incorrect statement than by asking a question.

The book A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik is a delightful play on the Magic School trope and truly plays with expectations while giving you a fast-paced story that uses the humor of Grimdark without the gratuitous violence. I read it in a single day and can't wait to get to the next one.
