THE BIG FED’S THOUGHTS LOCKED ON THE INTERNATIONAL OUTRAGE

It was unthinkable that a rogue or supposed friendly nation was orbiting nuclear satellites, looking to butcher millions for an as yet unknown reason. Beyond the frightening facts, Hal Brognola knew ground zero in the Australian outback wouldn’t rate a footnote in history if a nuclear spear was plunged into a major city from above Earth’s atmosphere.

He drew a deep breath, let it out and said to the assembled team in the War Room, “The President green-lighted us to do whatever it takes to get to the bottom of what went down in Australia. The Man wants a rapid response, folks, no punches pulled, no mercy to the perpetrators. They go down hard and, if possible, their names and misdeeds are to be buried along with them. That’s the good news.

“Unfortunately, he also implied that because of the nature of the crisis, there’s a good chance our teams may well be locking horns with any number of operators. CIA. NSA. DOD. DIA. You name it.

“And on this one, it would be best if we kept our backs to the wall.”
