Here's chapter 8, everybody.
Chapter 8: Visual Range.
Back at Gracemeria Air Force, Guy Stewart is trying to figure out a signal that he discovered that is in the satellite feed just as the Emmerian officer came to him.
"Please tell me we're gettin' somewhere?" the Emmerian officer asked.
"Oh, there's good news, and there's bad news." Guy said.
"All right, what's the bad news?" the officer asked.
"The bad news is that you're in meal penalty for disturbing my breakfast." Guy said.
"And what's the good news?"
"The good news is that I've found the problem. It's not the equipment. There's some kinda weird signal embedded in the satellite feed."
"And that's the good news?'
"Yeah, 'cause this signal has a definite sequential pattern, so as soon as I find the exact binary sequence, then I can calculate the phase reversal with the analyzer simliar to the one in my jammer aircraft and apply it, we should be able to block it out completely.
"And then things will be back to normal? Excellent. Keep up the good work, Stewart."
Meanwhile, at the northern desert in the country of Karabastan, the locals residing there is stunned to see a massive ball of fire trailing across the sky.
Meanwhile, at Eusean Ocean off the coast of Sotoa on board the Osean SSBN submarine OFS Niagara, the captian was approaching the main deck and towards a radar officer.
"This better be good." the captain said.
"Captain on deck!" a Osean sailor hollered.
"Sir, we're looking at a total radar blackout over a 13 kilometer area." the radar officer said.
"Let's do a diagnostic check-." the captain said before being interrupted.
"Excuse me, sir. The radar may be malfunctioning, but the infrared is totally off the map." the radar officer said as he turns on the infrared radar.
The captain couldn't believe as the radar is being covered by a circular object.
"Jeez." the captain said before he heads for a phone. "Get me Osean Command on the line."
Meanwhile, back at the military general headquarters in Oured, military commanders are informing on the situation regarding the alien ships being sited at skies around the world. One piece of intel is being handed over to a army general, who was on the phone with Bright Hill.
"Hang on, sir. the general said as a army major approaches him.
"Sir, we have visual range with incoming over Sotoan airspace." the major said.
"Second sighting?" the general asked.
"Yes, sir. This just came in from the Eusean Ocean." the major replied.
"Correction, sir. We now have two confirmed visual contacts." the general said to military commanders at Bright Hill. At Bright Hill, military commanders of Osea, and those from Ustio, ISAF, Emmeria, and Yuktobania who came with their leaders are getting information from Osean Command as well as their countries as well. the aces tries to help them as best as they can.
"That's affirmative. Mr. President. They're tracking another one of the Califia coastline." Bartlett said.
As Bartlett said this, Kei Nagase of the Scarface Squadron whispered something to Wilford's ear.
"All right, go ahead. Put it on." Wilford ordered. "General, Mr. Prime Minister, and all Yuke commanders, you all might want to watch this."
Osean officials turn on a television screen to listen to a breaking news report on OBC. Everyone watched.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are interrupting our regular broadcast to bring you extraordinary events taking place in the Union of Yuktobanian Republics." the news anchor said.
"This unexplained disturbance and the hysteria that it's causing are incredible." the news reporter said.
"How would you describe what you're seeing?" another news anchor asked.
"It is clearing the mountains...moving too slowly to be a comet or meteor. Widespread panic has gripped the countryside as thousands have taken to the streets." the news reporter said as footage shows Yuktobainan citizens panicking.
"It is confirmed. The unexplained phenomenon is heading for Cinigrad." the news anchor reported.
"Mr. President, we have an AWAC off the West Coast. ETA with contact point: three minutes." Bartlett said.
Meanwhile, on board an AWACS aircraft, the radar operators are all confused with their radar screens.
"I don't understand it, sir. Side radar doesn't see it." one operator said.
"I know. It's blind, sir." another operator said.
"Nothing is registering." another operator said.
"Negative. We have zero visibility." the co-pilot of the E-767 AWACS aircraft said.
"Command, this is AWACS FalconEye 370." the captain said.
"Captian, the president is listening. Repeat what you just told me." Bartlett ordered as the phone is set to the speaker.
"We still have zero visibility...Instrumentation is malfunctioning...We can't get any kind of reading of what's in front of us. Wait a minute...May be clearing." the captian of the AWACS said.
Everyone listened to the AWACS transmissions. Suddenly, they hear panic coming from the AWACS before the line went dead. One general picks up the phone to try and contact the AWACS but it's no use.
"Line's gone, sir." the general said.
"Two more has been spotted according to Osean and Emmerian intel." an OADF general said. "One's moving towards Gracemeria, the other's headed this direction."
"How much time do we have?" Harling asked.
"Less than 10 minutes." the general replied.
"Major, organize a military escort." someone said.
"I suggest we move the presidents and prime minister to a secure location immediately." Bartlett said.
"Collins, can we expect the same kind of panic we saw in Yuktobania?" Wilford asked.
"More than likely, sir." Thomas said.
"We can discuss this on the way." Hurley said.
"We're nit leaving." Wilford said.
"But you all have to maintain a working government." Hurley said.
"I want you to get the vice president, the whole cabinet, and joint chiefs, and take them to a secured location. I'm staying." Wilford said. "I don't want to add to a public hysteria that's gonna cost lives." Wilford said.
While everyone starts discussing plans and Bartlett decides to remain with the President, the aces decides to talk to their respective leaders.
"Sirs, with you all permission, we like to remain at your side." Marcus Lampert said.
"We had a feeling you aces would." President Forrest said.
"And what happens if they do become hostile?" Brian asked.
"Then God help us." Donaldson said.
