CUT TO:
A silvery
delta-winged aircraft in flight. Stub wings, pointed nose, and a
shortage of windows proclaim it to be an unmanned drone: a single
large engine in its tail thrusts it along, exhaust nozzle glowing
cherry red. Trackless wastes unwind below it as the viewpoint—a
chase plane—carefully climbs over the drone to capture a clear view
of the upper fuselage.
