Prologue
The world is on the brink of war, China and Russia's CSTO have formed the Pan-Asian Coalition. Due to Russia's new expansionist actions and China's failing economy, these two superpowers decided to come to an agreement. The United States and the United Kingdom however have begun to increase their funding for NATO and have invited Ukraine into the alliance. Ukraine has been ravaged by a war in Donbass, the rebels, who are supported by the Russians, are now a very prominent force in Eastern Ukraine. Russia wishes to take this land for themselves but now with Ukraine in NATO, war with Ukraine means war with the United States.
All these actions however have mostly fallen on deaf ears for American citizens. Everyone believes that America is the most powerful nation in the world and can easily beat any foe. Having beaten the Soviet Union in the Cold War, Russia is seen as a husk of its former strength. China was also seen to be next to collapse, just like the Soviets, their economy was failing and Chinese provinces were beginning to revolt against the Communist Party. As NATO grew stronger, American citizens became ever more confident of a swift victory against the Pan-Asian Coalition, or that war would never come for America itself was a deterrent to any Russian or Chinese aggression.
Despite all the confidence, the CIA and the FBI constantly tried to find what the Russians were planning. With millions of dollars of equipment and technology, they were always trying to break the Russian codes, yet Russia had outdone them. That was until, someone in a small town, managed to break the code. That person was a girl named Lisa Loud. By her shear genius, she managed to crack the code and piece together top secret Russian documents. She observed thousands of secret documents containing war plans, weapon research, technological advancements, and even troop movements. This discovery was however, not unnoticed. The Russians were using Lisa's signal to triangulate her. The report of the hacking was quickly reported to the Russian President. He knew along with his generals, that if the documents reach the US Government, Russia will never achieve world domination. They knew they had to strike now and so the order to commence Operation: Red Bear was given. While the Russians believed their cover was blown, Lisa decided to keep the research to herself, in order to possibly make it herself and improve on it, hoping that she, someday, would have her skills realised and become the scientist she always wanted to be. Little did she know, Russian planes were taking off from the far northern bases, on a date with destiny.
