The next day...

Y/N was at Ruv's office at 6:00 AM as he was getting details on another mission he was assigned.

Ruv: Okay. Take a good look at these two fortresses.

(The mighty Kranz Cannon)

Y/N: Those look to be a bit bigger than any of the forts I've commanded.

Ruv: These forts are for your newest mission. The fortress to the left is known as Fortress Rubicon. It is called so because the last general who served in the fortress had his motto known as "the die is cast." Exactly the words that Julius Caesar, a roman person of interest said when he crossed the river known as the "Rubicon."

Ruv: A new piece of tech is introduced known as the "Scrambler Signal." It is the disco ball-looking thing on three massive wires controlled by panels. When activated, it scrambles all missiles and ICBMs in vicinity of it and flies it back towards your enemy. This means that you are able to prevent a nuke from crippling your defenses.

Y/N: Why wasn't this introduced sooner?

Ruv: Ah. The technology was sabotaged by Atlas forces many times. It was only until now was it perfected.

Ruv: The fort to the right is known as Fortress Inscription. It is named as such because a soldier inscribed the words "nunquam non paratus" on it. This fortress is a very generic fortress. However, it is owned by my personal general, General Spector.

Ruv: General Lupus Spector fought in the Great Unification War for the United States. He commanded some of the most powerful fortresses of the USA. After the war, he was presumed dead, but I found him hiding in Fortress Instigator for shelter. I offered him to join me, and after years of training and combat experience, he is now my personal general.

Y/N: Additional information. I like it. When does this mission take place?

Ruv: Tomorrow. Take this day to rest up. Have a nice day.
