Launch Status Check

[[A multiengine rocket sits on a launch pad. Flight controllers monitor the launch.]] Announcer: T-minus 2 minutes Controller 1: Tank and booster are go for launch. Controller 2: Safety console? Controller 1: Check. Safety- Controller 2: Wait. [[Controller 2 notices an object flying past the rocket]] Controller 1: What is it? Controller 2: On the live feed- a cool bird just flew past the tower! Controller 1: Whoa, hat kind? Controller 2: Like a hawk, maybe! Controller 1: Could it be a vulture? Controller 2: I doubt it. The wings were flat, not in a "V". Controller 1: It could be an eagle! Controller 2: Ooh! Controller 1: This is launch control. We have a possible sighting of a cool bird. Halt the countdown. Controller 2: Someone get binoculars up here! Controller 1: I want to see! {{Title text: Visual checks suggest the cool bird has exited the launch zone. Tip the rocket sideways and resume the countdown--we're gonna go find it!}}
