Here's chapter 7, everybody.
Chapter 7: Deployment/ DefCon 3.
Back in space, miles above the Earth, A group of smaller, but massive spaceships are disengaging from the more larger mothership. It seems now they are being deployed. All these spaceships are now heading towards the Earth.
Meanwhile, back at Bright Hill, the top aces has arrived at the place. They are being escorted by officials who works for the Osean President.
"I'm hearing rumors at although the leaders are meeting each other, the conference is canceled." Scarface 1 said. Scarface 1 is a man in his late 40s. Has black hair, grey eyes and wore is Usean Blues. His name is Andrew Bertz.
"That's weird. On the day of the conference?" Blaze asked. Blaze is a man in his mid-30s. He had black hair, brown eyes, and wore his Osean Blues. His name is Thomas Collins.
"Do you think something might have happen, Captain?" Kei Nagase of the Razgriz said.
"I don't know." Thomas replied.
"Don't worry, once we meet the leaders and our respective AWACSs, we'll find out." Drake said. Drake is a man in his late 40s. He had black hair, blue eyes and he wore his Ustio Air Force Blues uniform.
"I hope so, too. Buddy." Larry Foulke said.
As the aces were walking down the halls of Bright Hill, they can hear another conversation from another group of officials.
"OBC is running a story that we're covering up some type of nuclear testing experiment." one official said.
"Tell them to run with it if they want to embarrass themselves." a female official said, as Talisman and Marcus Lampert suspect her to be the Emmerian ambassador to Osea.
"NASA's been on my butt all morning. They want to know our position." another official said.
"We have no official position." the same Osean official said.
The aces continue their way until they reach two sets of doors. The guards that were guarding opened the doors for them and they head inside where they meet with the leaders of Osea, Emmeria, ISAF, Ustio, and Yuktobania, as well as Osean AWACS Thunderhead, ISAF AWACS SkyEye, Yuktobanian AWACS Oka Nieba, Ustian AWACS EagleEye, and Emmerian AWACS GhostEye, former Osean President Harling, and Yuktobanian Prime Minister Nikanor. After greeting, General Bartlett informs them that the conference is cancel due to the situation involving the alien spacecraft up in space. The aces didn't believe it at first until they were shown the infared satellite photo of the craft.
"At the moment, our satellites are somewhat unreliable. Isn't possible that this thing may just pass us by?" Ustio President William Forrest asked.
"What if it doesn't 'pass us by'? Let's retarget some ICBMs to blow it outta the sky." Osean Secretary of Defense Michael Hurley said.
"And risk turning one dangerous falling object into many?" General Bartlett asked.
"General Bartlett is right. Besides, we don't know what to expect from this thing." Thomas said.
"We don't yet know enough about what we're dealing with to make any kind of intelligent judgments." Brian said.
"Luckily, the press is making up their own story at this point. But that's not gonna keep." Claudia said.
"We may need to upgrade to Defcon Three." Wilford said.
"Absolutely. General, contact Capital Air Defense Command. You tell them we've upgraded to Defcon Three." Hurley said while Wilford had a confused face.
"That's not what the president said." Bartlett said.
"That's alittle premature." Emmerian President Angelo Grezzi said.
"I don't think so." Yuktobanian Prime Minister Nikanor said.
"We have more than 50% of the ISAF armed forces out on weekend leave, not to mention the ISAF commander and troops that are in San Salvacion for the 19th of September parade." ISAF Secretary General Edward Donaldson said.
As everyone was discussing about the alien spacecraft, two Osean army commanders entered the room.
"Go ahead, Commander." Wilford said.
"Our intelligence tells us the object has settled into a stationary orbit." the Osean army commander said.
"Well, that's good news." Talisman said. Talisman is a man in his late 20s. He had brown hair, blue eyes and wore his Emmerian Air Force Blues uniform. He is also the ace pilot who help the Emmerian military be victorious against the Federal Republic of Estovakia in the Anean Continental War 5 months ago, along with Marcus Lampert. His name is William Oxley.
"Uh, not really, sir." the commander said as the other Osean commander opened up a briefcase. "Part of it has broken off into nearly three dozen other pieces...smaller than the whole, sir, yet over 15 miles in width themselves."
Everyone looks at another infared photo of the same alien craft. It appears to show a bunch of smaller alien craft moving away from the larger ship.
"Where are they heading?" Hans Grimm asked.
"They should be entering our atmosphere within the next 25 minutes." the commander replied.
Everyone was in slience. The aliens are going to head for Earth, although, they don't know what will happen once they enter the atmosphere. After a few seconds of silence, Wilford says...
"Take us to Defcon Three."
The other leaders did the same for their countries.
That's the end of this chapter. Please review.
