EXECUTIVE ORDERS
A HIGHSCHOOL OF THE DEAD FANFICTION
FOREWORD
The short story (or novellete) of Executive Orders takes on the perspective of the crew of the USS Louisiana (SSBN-743) when they received the order for Code 666 Delta from the current U.S. President (said to be the Secretary of Homeland Security, the last in the line of succession) as the same time the USS Alabama (SSBN-731) as seen in the manga/anime. Code 666 Delta refers to the codename which according to the former and disillusioned Joint Chiefs of Staff prior to his mercy killing aboard Air Force One would result in the nuclear bombing of the People's Republic of China (codename: Romeo Charlier [Red China]) and North Korea (codename: November Kilo). If you haven't seen Episode 11: DEAD Storm Rising or read the manga, I recommend you do so before reading this chapter.
This will be set in firemanjim's "Last Alarm" universe, similar to FirefighterMatt's "Sua Ponte". However, as I mentioned, it would be on perspective of the Louisiana crew as in this fictional story, the Louisiana was on its way to Subic Bay in the Philippines, which was a former U.S. Navy base during the Cold War until 1992.
I am a Filipino who is a fan of Highschool of the Dead and Gate. Keep in mind I may have made mistakes in the ranking of officers since I am not so familiar with the U.S. Navy. Hence, I have made countless research and viewed several films and TV shows set in submarines such as Crimson Tide and ABC's Last Resort (which I am sad has been cancelled btw). Also, I am familiar that the Philippines DOES NOT allow nuclear weapons in its soil or territory. In recent times, most USN submarines that visit the Philippines are Los Angeles-class fast attack submarines (SSN or SSGN). However, there are claims from others that there may or may not be any nuclear weapons on board. After all, USN ships are considered U.S. territory and there is nothing the port country could do what is aboard on it as said by people I consulted on the Alternate History Online. So that will be the point of departure of this story from reality. Lastly, the Louisiana being in the Philippines in May 2013 (as the "Last Alarm" is set in) is completely fictional. I could turn out where it was as of that time as simply there is no data of it.
Despite being in fanfiction since December 20, 2015, I am rarely active. I have written a few stories but writing long stories proves to be a challenge for me. Therefore, I welcome comments, criticisms, corrections, and suggestions as to how I can improve.
I hope you would enjoy Executive Orders.

P.S. As of this writing July 2018, the Philippine Navy for the first time participated in the RIMPAC 2018 multinational exercises in Hawaii. God bless our troops and our allies.
