/December 17th, 2029. The United Nations Headquarters, New York City. 1:11 PM/

/Dylan sighed, as he walked with Patrick, towards a conference room/

"I don't think this'll work... Soshkiin's already got troops along the border of Poland..." said Dylan

"Mister President, you have to try" said Patrick

/Dylan sighed/

"You're lucky that I made you the Vice-President..." said Dylan

/Patrick chuckled. Dylan then had a thoughtful look/

"I've been meaning to ask you something..." said Dylan

"Yes sir?" asked Patrick

"Do you think it'd be a good idea, for my brother to be the new Secretary of Defense?" asked Dylan

/Patrick had a surprised look/

"You think Chase should be the Secretary of Defense...?" asked Patrick

/Dylan sighed, as they approached the conference room/

"We'll talk about it later. Right now, we're talking with President Soshkiin" said Dylan

/Dylan looked at Patrick/

"Do you speak Russian?" asked Dylan

"A little" said Patrick

"I'll do the talking, then" said Dylan

/Patrick had a surprised look, as he and Dylan walked into the conference room. They smiled, when they saw President Vasili Soshkiin, smiling back at them/

"Dobryy den', gospodin prezident (Good afternoon, mister president)" said Dylan

/President Soshkiin had a surprised look/

"Gospodin prezident, vy mozhete govorit' po-russki? (Mister president, you can speak Russian?)" asked Soshkiin

"Da (Yes)" said Dylan

/President Soshkiin, smiled/

==With Aelita==

/At Chase & Jennifer's house, Harrington Street, Brooklyn, New York. 4:56 PM/

/Aelita had a saddened look, as she saw Chase, rubbing water on his face, from the sink. He sighed, as he turned off the sink, and looked at Aelita/

"How in the hell am I going to tell James, Dylan, Jennifer, and Wendy...? God... Wendy'll be devastated..." said Chase, with worry

/Aelita looked at Chase/

"L... Let's just wait, until we figure this out..." said Aelita

/Chase nodded. He then walked to Aelita, and engulfed her in a hug/

"We already lost mom and dad... I don't want you to lose anyone else..." said Chase

/Aelita nodded, as she looked at Chase, with a mixture of sadness, and determination/

"I won't lose my brother. I refuse. I've already lost my parents, and was forced to spend 10 years of my life, inside of a virtual world... I refuse to lose anything else" said Aelita

/Chase smiled/

"That's the brave girl that I knew at Kadic..." said Chase

/Aelita smirked/

"I know I am" said Aelita

==With Dylan==

/The United Nations Headquarters, New York City. 7:21 PM/

/Soshkiin sighed, as Dylan was showing him a bio of the unknown rogue CIA agent, who took over the Plesetsk Cosmodrome/

"-I znayu, chto Lengli ne sdelal by etogo, bez moyego odobreniya (-And I know, that Langley wouldn't do this, without my approval)" said Dylan

"Vashi agenty TSRU proveli lozhnoye srabatyvaniye flag, vnutri Rossii. To, kak Kreml' vidit v tom, chto Soyedinennyye Shtaty, sovershil akt voyny. YA ne dumayu, u nas yest' nechto bol'sheye, obsudit'. (Your CIA agents carried out a false flag operation, inside of Russia. The way the Kremlin sees it, is that the United States, has committed an act of war. I don't think we have anything more to discuss.)" said Soshkiin

/Dylan went wide eyed/

"Tak... eto voyna, to... (So... it's war, then...)" said Dylan

"Da, boyus', chto tak (Yes, I'm afraid so)" said Soshkiin

/Patrick looked at Dylan, as Soshkiin walked out of the room/

"What the hell did he just say...?" asked Patrick

/Dylan looked at Patrick/

"You just heard the beginning of World War Three..." said Dylan

/Patrick went wide eyed/

==With Chase==

/At Chase & Jennifer's house, Harrington Street. Brooklyn, New York. 5:10 PM/

/The group saw Chase and Aelita, walking out of the bedroom. Odd went wide eyed/

"Oh... My... God... You two didn't do what I think you did... did you?" asked Odd

/Chase groaned, as Aelita frowned/

"Only you would think of stuff like that, Odd Della Robia..." said Chase

/The group laughed, as Chase and Aelita sat on the couch/

"But, what were you doing in there?" asked Sam

"I think that I ate something bad... Aelita was, um... checking in on me, after I got it out of my system" said Chase

"Overshare" said Wendy, with annoyance

/The group shared another laugh/
