ODIN: Station 1243 do you have the French fighters on your radar?
OPERATOR: Yes we do. They're just outside Swiss airspace.
ODIN: Copy that, keep an eye on them. The French are trying to project power, now that we're in their backyard.
OPERATOR: Orders for when they do enter Swiss airspace?
ODIN: You are to scramble a few jets to get them to turn back, if they refuse you have authorization to shoot them down.
OPERATOR: Copy that Odin.
OPERATOR 2: Odin this is station 987, we are detecting multiple unidentified aircraft entering Liberia's airspace.
ODIN: Copy that 987, did you make radio contact?
OPERATOR 2: Yes, radio silent.
ODIN: Did you scramble jets?
OPERATOR 2: Yes we did, but they haven't reached the UA's.
ODIN: Copy that 987, keep me posted.
The satellite above Mali moves over Liberia, zooming in on Harper. Highlighting the unknown aircraft and the friendly aircraft approaching them.
OPERATOR 2: Odin we have confirmed that the aircraft are from the Ivory Coast Federation.
ODIN: Copy that 987, we got them on the satellite.
The screen lights up as the aircraft from the ICF shoot down the friendlies.
ODIN1: We lost contact with station 987.
ODIN2: We have multiple contacts off the coast.
ODIN3: We have multiple ground forces streaming across the border.
ODIN4: Contact the nearest forces, and have them engage the ICF.
ODIN1: We have more contacts near the ICF border.
The screen zooms out to reveal unidentified aircraft engaging the ICF aircraft.
ODIN4: Get an identification on those aircraft
ODIN5: Unidentified aircraft identify yourself.
After a few tense seconds the radio crackles back.
PILOT: This is the 34th NCAS air brigade, sorry for dragging our war across your border.
Confusion spreads across the control room
ODIN6: When the hell did the ICF and NCAS start fighting?
ODIN7: They've been having border conflicts since their formations.
ODIN5: Alright, I think I get the picture, they're trying to pull a Germany, and go through Liberia to flank the NCAS.
ODIN4: Let's get serious people. Contact the embassy in the ICF, and tell them to get the ICF out of our border. Get the strike satellites over major ICF bases and cities.
ODIN2: Copy, moving them over ICF.
ODIN3: Contacting the embassy.
ODIN4: Get communication back online with 987.
