* ''Fleet Destruction'' sees you back in the regular OADF forces, and not just that, you and Count are transferred to the elite Long Range Strategic Strike Group in recognition of your extraordinary feats in Spare Squadron (which includes, among other things, surviving an encounter with Mister X and destroying an enemy prototype drone that they didn't think could be defeated). It's a breath of fresh air flying with an AWACS who's professional about his job (and loves to make charming food-based metaphors), as well as trusty wingmen who don't constantly berate you for being Harling's alleged murderer (now that it's been determined that you didn't kill Harling after all); granted, said wingmen are a little hesitant about you at first, but once you start pounding the Erusean navy, they quickly get behind you 100%.

** The cutscene that plays prior to the mission has Ionela shooting the drive containing all of the flight data that Schroeder collected from Mihaly. However, despite having every reason to hate Schroeder due to the pain he put her grandfather through and for the chaos caused by his drone program and desire for revenge on Osea over Belka’s defeat, Ionela instead casts the pistol aside and convinces Schroeder to help Avril and Rosa shut down the drone production in order to end the war. The Belkans are given a chance to finally end the cycle of revenge and destruction that has plagued Strangereal since the Belkan War, and Schroeder doesn’t waste it.
** Strider's introduction to the mission is them flying into a massive furball, but one moment singles itself out in the intro cutscene. An Osean Hornet is being pursued by an enemy fighter and calls for help. Who answers? None other than an ''Erusean'' Flanker, who says, "Let's show them what Eruseans, no, what ''fighter pilots'' can do!'' and blasts the pursuing plane away. As the two planes fly in formation, with the Hornet's pilot thanking the Flanker for his support, it becomes obvious that in this battle, borders no longer matter; it's a fight between instigators of war and protectors of the peace.
