“Six minutes now,” Vance said, glancing at his watch. “You’ve been listening for one.”

“Meet the Stinger . Parasite aircraft. It will dock with Croft’s jet at 30,000 feet via magnetic grapples. You’ll have seven minutes from breach to extraction. After that, the Stinger detaches, and Croft’s plane continues on autopilot to a very final destination.” Operation- Endgame

“No,” Vance said. “You take him after . His plane will be rerouted mid-flight to a secondary location. You’ll board, neutralize the target, extract his data core, then burn the plane.”

“This is Operation: Endgame. Not because it’s the last mission you’ll ever run—but because if you fail, it will be the last mission anyone runs. Croft has a dead man’s switch. If he suspects he’s compromised, every asset, every safe house, every deep-cover identity we have goes public.” Parasite aircraft
