Cold War: Global Threat

Chapter 9 - The Attack

August 20, 1950 | 7:32 am | cold and dry.

3 days before the attack began, I was in my office checking some reports, nothing out of the ordinary, then another report caught my attention, it was from IEES, according to the report, in South Germaneighia there was an attack on the Parliament, where a man became a deputy by force, so I got up and went to Screen's office:

"What the hell is that?" I asked irritated.

"How so?" Screen was surprised.

"The Attack on the Chamber of Deputies in West Germaneighia!" I replied.

"Oh yes, that. It seems that someone wants to resurrect the 'Spirit of Aryanne'." he said.

"Armin Kessler, right?" I asked him if that was the guy's name, just to confirm that the content in the report was correct.

"Yes sir!" he replied.

"I want all his information, date of birth, criminal and military history, address, everything you can get!" I ordered.

"We will do our best, sir!" Screen said.

"Great, let me know when you find something!" I replied.

"Yes sir." he stated.

When I was leaving, the alarm went off, something was wrong, so I ran to the security room, trying to find out the problem:

"What is happening?" I asked the guard.

"Sounds of gunshots even broke a window." he replied.

"Damn..." I grumbled.

The movement at the base became more hectic, there were agents going outside to look for the shooter, others going to protect the entrance and other rooms, I left there and went to my office, picked up my phone and called the Ministry of Defense, then, one of the secretaries there answered:

"Hello?" the secretary said.

This is the General Commander Sniperplayer, I need to speak to the Minister. - I went straight to the point:

"She's not in at the moment, sir." he replied.

"But what... where is she?" I asked.

"She went to one of the Star Powder factories." he informed.

"Okay, I appreciate her understanding!" I said and hung up right away.

I went to the entrance of the Pentagon:

"Stay prepared for the worst!" I told the agents.

"We are ready!" one of the agents replied.

I positioned myself behind a reception desk and pointed my revolver outside, any stranger would be shot if they dared to enter, after long minutes, two people appeared, all the agents pointed their weapons, but when I realized, it was Jack and Eduard:

"Put down your weapons!" I ordered, making everyone lower their weapons.

"Sniperplayer, we found the killer's diary." Eduard said, entering with Jack.

"Have you seen Rainbow Dash around?" Jack asked.

"The Minister is in one of the Star Powder units... wait, was the shooter already killed?" I asked.

"He didn't do any work." Jack replied.

"Well, at least..." I signaled everyone to move around again.

"But we found his diary, which is written in Germaneighian, so we want to translate the diary." Eduard said.
