USS Essex LHD-2
Ready room
7:20 AM
All the pilots aboard the aircraft carrier ran into the Ready room, a room that looked more like a classroom than a tactical room, only that instead of students there were highly trained military personnel and the teacher was a commander with a long history behind. It is located on the level just below the runway. Pilots come here before each flight mission and are briefed on the plan for the next mission they will undertake. But today was a day quite different from the norm because on this occasion there were people standing, which was because these rooms were reserved only for the pilots and perhaps the captains of the platoons. There were even new people who had not been seen before on the ship. Leading the crowd was Commander Mark, the person with the highest rank who was responsible for the USS Essex carrier group and responsible for the lives of everyone present. People literally lived or died according to his orders. Due to his great competition as a leader, his skill as a strategist, and perhaps also luck, he has had one of the most victorious careers in the war, but even so, he has experienced several defeats which have served as a lesson for situations such as the present.
Currently a war hero, but with his sights set on even more. His fearless and aggressive attitude had earned her the respect of the people under his command. There was a great possibility that in the future when the war is in the past, a person with his qualities and background would be the ideal profile for someone who wants to be the president of the United States. Although if he is a little older, it is not anywhere near what you would expect from a person in his position, he still had a little of color in his hair. Maybe even if he groomed himself a little, he could pass for a young man again. And always accompanied by his classic navy uniform, who despite being in the middle of the sea and surrounded by people who legitimately don't care how he dresses, refuses to stop wearing it.
"I will try to be quick as we don't have much time in this operation." the commander began to speak.
"48 hours ago after the Empire launched a new offensive in the northern theater of operations in Norway."
"They have caught us completely by surprise due to their earlier attempted incursion into Africa."
"Why are we here?"
"The I.S.C. has a research complex in Oslo, the capital, the same city that is under attack at the moment."
"They were apparently developing a new set of weapons that the Alliance so badly needs to counter the great technological advantage that the Empire has."
"Our mission is to rescue both the scientists and the weapons they were creating in the best way possible."
"The Marine Expeditionary team will try to hold off the Empire's assault as long as possible to the southeast."
"We will disembark at the Oslo Opera House, the city's theater offers suitable terrain and the facility can be quickly converted into a fortress due to its construction."
"At the west end of the city there is an evacuation post for both civilians and neutral troops, since we do not have enough troops we have asked the Fenrir mercenary group to help us protect the place."
"Do not think that because they are mercenaries their efficiency is questionable, Fenrir is actually a great combat force already proven in battle."
"We will do the usual in terms of defense, the territory is precindible so it doesn't matter if we lose it since we were planning to leave the place anyway."
"Outside of the facility itself there is not much of importance here, that's why our superiors believe they are after the research facility itself."
"As for your strategy, it will be in the hands of two groups."
"Phoenix Squadron will protect the immediate perimeter of the I.S.C. facility."
"While the evacuation will be carried out by the Arkadia squadron."
"They will have to take the research team to the city's extraction point, which is protected by Fenrir."
"We will try to maintain air control of the area, but a strong presence of enemy fighters is expected, so don't take it for granted."
"Any questions?"he added
