[Zimmer] Captain.
:34:40
Captain has asked me to brief you...
:34:42
on the emergency action message
we just received.
:34:46
As you know,
before we got underway...
:34:48
the Russian army was in position
and circling the rebel camps...
:34:52
and Radchenko started making extravagant
threats should anyone move in on him...
:34:57
that he would launch
his land-based nuclear weapons
at the United States and at Japan.
:35:02
The only safeguard was that the Russian
government controlled the launch codes.
:35:06
Intel now indicates that those
launch codes have been compromised.
:35:10
U.S. Military forces have been
directed to set DEFCON three.
:35:15
The last time we hit
this state of emergency...
:35:17
was 32-and-a-half years ago
during the Cuban missile crisis.
:35:21
So this is what it's all about,
gentlemen. It's what we train for.
:35:27
Captain.
:35:29
The NCA has determined that...
:35:32
should our satellites detect
rebel missiles being fueled...
:35:37
which means they could be
launched in just over one hour...
:35:41
we'll be compelled to act.
:35:46
Now given our patrol sector
here in the Emperor Sea Mounts...
:35:50
it seems clear that our friends
in the Pentagon...
:35:53
are setting us up for
a potential preemptive strike.
:35:58
It's important
to remain focused.
