Chapter One
"Major Harrison and Captain Sealy, I presume?" the two opposite the General, a man and woman, saluted the General and he returned the gesture.
"To what do we owe the honour of meeting you, sir?" The woman asked.
"I'm sure you are both aware of the stance of Japan after the Deijima incident?"
"They declared themselves to not align themselves strongly with any other nation, after an American Empire submarine fired a nuclear warhead at Deijima which was subsequently destroyed by one of our own satellites which was in the missile's path." The man replied.
"That is correct Major."
"Permission to correct you sir?" the General nodded confused. "I'm Captain Kelly Sealy not Major Cade Harrison."
"My apologies, Captain. Your files, though extensive, for some reason, they did not include photographs or personal data. But on to business. Recently, Japan has agreed to a UN counter terrorism alliance where personnel from signatory nations go on a type of exchange program, to trade techniques, strengthen ties and the like. You both have been selected for this first exchange, along with several others in the UN Counter-Terrorism Taskforce."
"Why have the Taskforce on this?" Captain Sealy asked, "If it's between nations, why us?"
"Because members of the taskforce are better at communicating to different foreign authorities. If we started with an exchange between the American Empire and Japan directly, for example, there would be tension and both sides won't cooperate with one another."
"but if representatives of the Empire who are affiliated with the UN are sent, such as myself and Captain Sealy, we aren't directly influenced by the Imperial government, so one would expect us to be in the same boat as someone who was."
"That is what I hope for Major. Though it is unlikely, it may help to heal rifts indirectly, between Japan and the Empire.
"And what exactly must we do sir?" Major Harrison asked.
"You will be working with a group known as Public Security Section Nine. They are an elite organisation which specialises in counter-terrorism. Your mission is to learn from them, further extend your own knowledge and help heal those rifts."
"Understood, sir."
"Any questions?"
"When do we start?"

NG:- Section Nine will appear in the next chapter, which is longer than this one. But getting regular updates require reviews. So please do so. Moofies for anyone who does!! And Merry Christmas!!
