"We're LIVE. My name is Jacqueline Chase from World News Today. My team and I are flying just right above a crime scene just 100 miles off the shores of Greece. A source says that a United States Marine Master Sergeant was found dead within these waters yet his remaining team of four who are still. The information is still developing on who the victim was and how they died-"

CNN Breaking News: "Good Evening Folks, im Andrew Cooper joining for today's latest news. Breaking news that a United States Marine Captain is left for dead off the waters of Greece. The story is still developing on how and why this happened. As of right now-"

"That was quite a long conversation between you and your niece." Manchester says once the General hung up the call.

"I think I'm getting to her. Making her realize the bigger picture of future plans. The possible outcomes." The General spoke with confidence.

"I see. But will the child be very useful? How's the development on that?"

Manchester continues to play with the darts he has on hand, aiming carefully at the board.

"The child is doing great. The serums will be conducted soon. At this rate, the growth will be where we want it."

"And the woman?"

"She's willing to play along. She has no choice."

"Ah. Well, how about Allison? She's getting impatient. She's very desperate to claim what's hers."

The General waves him off, looking back at his documents on his desk, "she needs to get a grip with herself. The plan won't work if she keeps that nonsense attitude. Right now, we need to bring (Y/N) back to us. This operation will run smoother with her. Allison will also keep her in check once we bring (Y/N) back in."

Manchester hits a bullseye on the dart board, "are you sure we can't just do it without her? I don't see why-"

"She's the image for the operation. She is also capable of finishing projects we need!" The General holds up a small device, "she'll be willing to listen and follow orders soon. Just like the good obedient soldier she was created to be."

A cadet comes running, heading to the direction of the General's private space. Three loud knocks against the metal door got the General's attention. The cadet who looked no older than 20 stated why he's there.

"Sir! There's a distress signal coming from the shores of Greece. The nearest U.S military base was notified. They're asking if we should investigate the area or let the nearest Navy ship handle it. The Lieutenant of the ship is asking for your input on this."

The General looks over at Manchester, having the same thought.

"Tell the Lieutenant to head to the location. We'll meet up at the command center." The General sends the cadet away.

"That's the same location where your niece was." Captain Black simply says. "My best guess is that she got fed up and threw them overboard."

*present time*

When the small war craft ship got to the location, they saw a group of four men floating around the waters. They looked tired from being in the waves for however long. They told them that waiting for help was a better option than swimming for who knows how many miles till they can reach the shore.
