Majestic squadron patch for ATC:
The Majestic is (basically) a "psychic" AWACS-style patrol/recon sort of thing. See previous. More like a U2 (sans Bono) or an SR-71 than an Orion. While most mundane hardware of this type has the typical pilot/copilot/engineer/ECO (etc) complement, the Majestic type has a two person crew - pilot/Navigator and copilot/Carbon Computer host. The CC ties into the Majestic's sensor payload, which is - basically - a dolphin-sized pile of "extra" brain. Brain and support equipment. Something very much like a brain, I should think - with all sorts of whiz-bang hoodjits and whajjits plugged into it. The host being one of them. It knows what you had for dinner, can guesstimate how much fuel you have left, and can tell if you're in a killing mood or not. It probably knows your bank account number and PIN.
And Grij, genius that he is, sent one on a cold recon without the typical (vast, prickly, disgustingly overgunned) fighter escort.
Give the man a prize.
