Night Lantern Tour Leg 7

Leg 7 — LQMO → LWSK Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina → Skopje, North Macedonia

A dangerous cross-border relay transporting encrypted transmitters and extraction manifests toward hidden Macedonian sectors. Closing Corridor The Night Lantern network had begun shrinking rapidly. Entire northern sectors went silent one after another while aircraft crews reported hostile patrols appearing deeper inside previously safe corridors. The route southeast toward Skopje unfolded beneath violent thunderstorms crossing the Balkans while your aircraft navigated through valleys hidden beneath heavy cloud and rain. Then another aircraft appeared briefly behind you. Dark. Fast. Tracking your heading precisely. For nearly ten minutes it remained there before vanishing into the storm. Nobody onboard spoke afterward. Because everyone understood what it meant: The Night Lantern routes were being hunted deliberately now.
