Prior to ISAF's second assault on Stonehenge, the barkeeper's daughter planted a bomb on Yellow Squadron's runway, injuring Yellow 4 and damaging her aircraft, though she still flew and was killed by Mobius 1. The narrator also had a crush on the barkeeper's daughter, who, along with her family, was a member of the San Salvacion resistance. The narrator attempted to confront Yellow 13 for his parents' death, but could not get close to him. Around that time, Yellow 13 had indirectly killed the narrator's parents by shooting down an aircraft that landed on their house the narrator was subsequently forced to live with his drunkard uncle in the city, and played his harmonica at the local Sky Kid bar to make a living.Īfter some time, Yellow Squadron was stationed in San Salvacion, and they became regulars at the bar the narrator played at. This "Side Story" is told through an adult narrator detailing his experience with the war when he was a child in San Salvacion, a city that Erusea captured at the start of the war.

Erusea also deploys Yellow Squadron to the front lines, but Mobius 1 evades them each time they appear. As ISAF pushes further inland, Stonehenge repeatedly fires on their pilots in an effort to shoot them down. Erusea attempts to deploy their "invincible" Aegir Fleet to destroy North Point, but ISAF pre-emptively sinks it, giving them an opportunity to perform a counterattack. Mobius 1 participates in various missions with other ISAF pilots over the next few months in eastern Usea, outside of Stonehenge's range, to defend North Point and weaken Erusea's influence. The player takes control of Mobius 1 in September 2004, a year after the conflict began, as one of the few ISAF pilots still remaining.
