Bomber escort, long shot

I was rethinking part of the intro...

Originally I had wanted to do just a cutscene, but all it would accomplish is to drop you in the action and predicament of the story via flashforward. Or, I could do an actually playable intro flashback instead, which would drop you straight into the action of the story but also introduce you to the 3 main characters, and give a bit more background and environment.

The idea is that they are running an ailing bomber into the enemy lines to take out an invading battleship. Marie Blackstar is piloting the bomber, Gunbunny is flying escort in the space suit design I just posted, and Reese is running around on the back of the bomber with a chaingun, acting as "air defense."

This would be a fairly easy thing to put together as a sort of sidescrolling shooter level. You would control Gunbunny, flying around the bomber, shooting down enemy fighters and missiles, until the bomber gets close enough to drop its payload on the battleship. You could also land on the back of the bomber and run around on it as if it were a normal level, maybe fight off an enemy boarding party.

Any thoughts? I'd like to hear them.
