Back at the Castellum, 3 Goshawk FAL-1 super stuka and a AL-4 Alpacca are preparing to take off and are waiting for someone before Nat walks out of the airbase wearing a suit.
"to think ill take the role of a diplomat again" She murmur.
she enters the waiting Al-4 which looks like a normal seaplane with engines in the wings and the FAl-1 Goshawk are carrying pontoons and cameras. The 4 aircrafts takes off after confirming the runway is clear and flies along the cost.
out at sea CRS Serpent is cruising along the surface before receiving a distress call from CRS Stubby.
"25 DEGREES PORT SIDE! FULL SPEED AHEAD" the captain hurled orders as the massive ship bank left toward the direction of CRS stubby and picking up speed.
"Sir! multiple unidentified vessels 40 degrees north west 700 meters away, the fleet seems to be made up of multiple different ship class but one of them is undoubtedly a battleship, their speed is unknown but they seem to be heading toward the general direction of the Castellum" the sonar operator reported before turning off the active sonar.
"report back to the Castellum, we aren't equip to fight a fleet, we will continue our mission to aid CRS Stubby" the captain commanded.
suddenly the Submarine reverberated with a pinging noise, everybody was silent as they turned off all non essential machinery of the submarine while diving lower into the depths.
the captain pointed toward the radio operator.
"turn on the hive comms and report the situation to all allies" he said telepathically.
the radio operator turned a switch and started transmitting rapid rapid but silent codes.
"orders?" one of the sailor asked telepathically.
continue forward 10 knots and stay at -300 meters.
Over at CRS Stubby, the captain prepares to hit the throttle.
"sir, war comms, CRS Serpent is getting pinged by a unknown fleet" the radio operator reported.
"Welp, that's our cue" he responded before the helmsmen slam on the throttle as the ship rocked before speeding away as the engine roars.
"EVASIVE MENUVERS" the captain commanded as the helmsmen zig zags the small vessel to disrupt the aim of the pursuing ships.
"STOP NOW OR WE WILL SHOOT" the pursuing ship shouted over the loud speaker.
"arsenal boy, do me a favor and arm the MP Miradas" the captain asked as the 2 turrets sprang to life and took aim toward the 2 approaching ships.
the 2 patrol vessel split off and sailed along side the Stubby while also maintaining a distance.
"sir unknown fleet 4km ahead of us. Most likely the same one CRS Serpent reported" the radar operator reported.
"keep a eye on them, Steersman make sure we avoid any unnecessary battles, and tell CRS Serpent we are returning" the captain responded.
back at the castellum. Tsunamina is sorting through layers of paper work while drinking tea.
"damage was found on a ship after clea- *BANG* GENERAL! UNIDENTIFIED FLEET 4KM SOUTH WEST, THEY ARE HEADING TOWARD US AND CRS SERPENT HAS BEEN PINGED BY THEM AND IS MAYBE IN DANGER" Tsunamina said before getting cut off by a officer that slammed the door open and reported the situation.
"well what are you waiting for?? prepare the ships!" he shouted as the officer hurries off.
"ring ring... ring ri-" he picks up the phone.
"Hello?" he answered
"the higher ups have given an order to cease all operations." a voice responded
"but I'm trying to intercept a unknown fleet that is heading straight towards the Castellum!" he responded
"let the BID system handle it as for now we need all personal and vehicles back to the safety of the Castellum." the voice answered
"alright then." he hangs up the phone before dialing in another number.
"hello? orders from high command, abort all missions and have all ships and personal return immediately" he announce before picking up a red stamp.
"welp, I guess I can denied a lot of these request now"
a few minutes earlier, the squadron is flying along the coastline before suddenly.
"INCOMING FLA-" explosions erupted around the squadron before the pilot could finish his sentence.
The Al-4 shook from the shockwaves before doing a sharp turn back to the Castellum.
"what the!??!?" Nat exclaimed as she holds onto her seat.
"WERE TAKING FLAK, I REPEAT, WERE TAKING FLAK" the radio blared as the aircraft maneuvers to avoid the flak.
as the aircraft swing right to left while trying to avoid the flak.
"INCOMING MISSILE" one of the escorting FAl-1 shouted as a missile flew by and is heading directly to the AL-4.
"FAL-1 GOSHAWK COMMENCING SACRIFI-" the second FAL-1 burst into flame after blocking the missile and preventing the AL-4 from suffering the same fate.
"FLAK AND MISSILES??!?!" Nat Questioned as the second FAL-1 burst into flame before everything turn dark.
troops are packing up their equipment as they prepare to head back to their base.
"Lieutenant, what do we do about the civilian?" the Sargent asked.
the Lieutenant looks around before answering the Sargent's question.
"search if any of the enemy vehicles are still functioning and give them that, if there is none load them up onto the HTTT, as of now, bringing them back to the castellum to seek refuge is the best thing we do for them"
"yeah right, like were going to find any among the swiss cheesed vehicles" the Sargent replied before walking away to tell his men to search for any functioning vehicles.
Clair hops off of the roof of her 1928 Cadillac.
"ahhhhhhh, i kinda wanna explore this new world"
"i am planning to send spies out, you can be one of them" a voice suggested directly into her head.
"can you stop spying on me?!?!" she asked while looking around.
"what??? I made you! I can do whatever i want, plus this is probably the least harmful thing compared to what others would do" the voice responded.
"yeah?? name one of those things" she asked.
"violations of rights" the voice answered.
"w-what??? that's not- never mind" she responded before entering her Cadillac.
"guess were exploring the new world no-New mission profil-WHAT NOW??!" she uttered before getting cut off by the voice.
"multiple reports of hostile interaction from all fronts" the voice answered.
"yeah yeah I'll go with escorts if that what you wanted" she responded.
"actually, i need you to return, im going to send you and a couple of mimicker on a special mission" said the voice.
*sigh* " what type of mission?" she asked.
"infiltration" the voice.
Lighting and thunder strikes as a helicopter is preparing to take off in rough seas from a amphibious assault ship.
the helicopter looks like a bigger version of the CH-53E super stallion.
"arriving to destination in T-5 minutes so you all better prepare for drop off" the helicopter pilot announced while taking off with another helicopter.
inside the helicopter is a black rectangle with a tether attaching to the helicopter and a small engine tied to it and 8 people, pilot , co pilot , Clair and 5 people dressed in dark blue suits and armed with assault rifle.
the 2 helicopter takes off and heads west for a couple of kilometers before hovering over the sea.
"Alright everybody off" the pilot announce as the 6 operators hops off with the black rectangle as the tether rill out and air pumps thru it.
the black rectangle quickly inflated into a boat as the operator attach the engine onto the boat as Clair hops onto it while the other helicopter drops off their troops into the sea.
"we will be arriving at shore 30 minutes" one of the operator announce to Clair.
the 2 inflatable boats cruise off west as the 2 helicopters turn back for the amphibious assault ship.
they sail through the rough sea that get shallower and shallower every minute.
