Chance favors only the prepared mind.

"Hi, sweetie! I missed you! How have you been?" I ask Genesis.

"I've been good. Well, Evelyn and Lydia have helped me to become your new computer assistant." Genesis tells me.

I look at Eve and ask her if Genesis can download all the information from the previous wrist computer on to her. She tells me yes, all she had to do to do that was to be plugged into it. I pick up Genesis and tell Lydia to give me a plug so we could connect the old wrist computer to Genesis. Lydia asks me why it was so important that we connect and download the information from the old wrist computer, I tell her that she would know soon enough. We connect both wrist computers to the mainframe and Eve transfers all the information to Genesis and makes a copy on the mainframe for a backup.

"Done," Eve says.

I ask her to play the video from September 22nd, the year the blackout happened.

Eve complies and she puts it on the big screen.

"Ok guys, we have to do this one by the book. We move in fast and hard. We were told that the president of the new unified Korean federation has multiple satellites that will be launching in the next few hours. We have to stop them before they launch." I tell my team.

"If the US already knows about these satellites, why not just shoot them down themselves with some missiles?" AB asks.

I tell him that if the UKF (United Korean Federation) would know that we shot them down, then we would be at war.

"This is why we must do this stealthily," I tell AB.

We walk through the woods for about an hour and see the presidential compound. We see all the guards walking around and where the floodlights are at. I tell everyone that we would have three teams.

I tell AB and Marcus that they would be known as team 1. I tell them to flank the west side.

Lawrence and Kevin would be known as team 2 and tell them to take the Eastside.

And I tell them that I would be known as "Hawk" and I would take the front.

I tell Marcus and Lawrence to take out the guards on the towers with the sniper rifles.

I tell Kevin and AB to take down the guards on the ground as soon as I give the signal.

We all sync up and I say softly in the mic, "fire."

The guards go down and I shoot again to hit the other guard that was next to the one in the front that I shot down. We continue forward and Kevin tells me that he sees the box for the power. I tell him to cut the alarms and to keep the security cameras on a continuous loop. I walk towards the front of the door and team 1 stacks up on me. I call team 2 and Kevin tells me that he was almost done. After 30 seconds team 2 goes to the opposite wall and I signal them that I would open the door and they would go in first and team 1 would follow. Kevin nods and I open the door.

I hear shots from the silencer rifles and team 2 goes in after team 1 has cleared the room. I go in and lock the door behind me. I look at the wrist computer and see the layout of the presidential compound. We walk straight and then make a left. I see a guard as he turns the corner. I walk up to the corner and take out the removable camera from the wrist computer and point it around the corner. I see two guards and I tell my teams to get ready and signal the guards to come back with a whistle. They turn around and walk towards the corner and both my teams move around the corner and shoot the guards. I put the camera back in and we walk upstairs. I start hearing English speaking voices and I stop my teams and ask them if they hear that.
