"With my mission now at hand, my dear old town, my dear old people. I abandon everything and leave to protect this country, to preserve our eternal and just cause, I now go forth. My body will collapse like a fallen cherry blossom, but my soul will live and protect this land forever. Farewell. I am a glorious wild cherry blossom. I shall return to my mother's place and bloom" - These are the words of a man, your age, your rank 118 years ago. He was a kamikaze pilot. He died, foolishly, the next day. He flew his oakah plane into an American destroyer. He gave his life for a lost cause. I keep this in my flight suit at all times."

The next day, McQueen informs his squadron that the Commodore has given them the thumbs up for the mission. He will use the Alien fighter as a Trojan horse to invade the enemy's home ground. He asks them to accompany him though he knows that this will be a very dangerous assignment.

All the Wild Cards agree to go on this mission ... all ... except for Cooper who keeps them in suspense by saying: I'm not a kamikaze ... And when the Cards throw him looks he adds: 'Cause I'm coming back!. The cards are relieved and burst out laughing ... even the Colonel showing a fleeting smile to relieve the tension.

While the Cards study the specifications of the craft, discussing their mission, McQueen gets some disturbing news ... the flight window will close earlier than expected.

As Paul is making fun ... posing as McQueen working as a plumber, the Colonel walks in to inform his squadron about the changed plans. Only to witness the merriment of the Cards. He answers Paul's act with the dead pan comment: It's hard to follow a dog act!

The Wild Cards are informed that the mission has changed considerably ... ill prepared and not quite as familiar with the craft as they thought they could be in about a week, McQueen tells them that everyone can reconsider. No-one will be court-martialled if they decide that they won't take part in this kamikaze mission.
