You are Captain Randy Burroughs, leader of Team 1, one of several Navy SEAL teams scattered throughout the airbase. The gunfire in the distance has intensified rapidly as the main force begins moving in, aiming to seize the entire airbase in under an hour. A tough mission, made tougher by the fact you were fighting fellow American soldiers, but you had carried it out to the best of your ability all the same. And your best was very, very good. Resistance had been light all the way to the command centre, and none of your team had taken any casualties. Once the main assault had started, the sentries had begun to panic, some even deserting their posts. The few that stayed had been swiftly and silently dispatched from the shadows by your team. And now you were at the doorway to the main command centre. Placing C4 on the doors, you moved back and made a signal to a member of the team, who clicked a button.
The doors are blown inward, and you rush in, silenced Colt Commando at the ready. You drop a guard on the other side of the room, while your team members do likewise, eliminating 7 armed combatants in as many seconds. There are several unarmed civilians and officers as well, and you herd them together in one corner of the room while you pull out the one you’re looking for. His hair is grey and eyes stormy, and his chest is covered in medals. Too bad about those, because he’s no longer going to need them. You reach for your radio.
“Team 1 to command. General Hoag is in custody.”

You breathe out a sigh of relief. Frank had just relayed the word that General Hoag had been captured alive, with Black’s best interrogation teams already on the way to begin their work. You knew better than to ask about what they were about to do to the poor bastard. He deserves every bit of it. Looking Glass had also been forced down, escorted by F16s to the closest airbase, and an eye kept on their transmissions to ensure they didn’t try anything. Offut AFB was now under your control, and just about every conspirator either dead in the fighting or captured by your forces. High treason Schultz was going to pin them with, and you knew he meant it. You weren’t going to face any more trouble on that front.
