Warning: Failure to complete Dispatch, now in line with the Complete Ending walkthrough, will result in the loss of a supporting character, special rewards and the mission's special intel. As well as the discontinuation of the attempt altogether.

15:50:06, Briggs has just finished getting China and S.D.C.'s reaction to the attack in the Himalayas, and reporting it to Washington D.C. He then enters the Team Room with a huge smug on his face and a determined expression for what is coming.

And despite having just read his father's AAR on Panama, Section is still eager to be involved in The Second Cold War. With the reason being split between wanting to take a break from Menendez and knowing that The Second Cold War is about to come to an end.

Admiral Briggs: Outstanding, SEALs! Out-fucking-standing! We kicked ass real good out there! Thanks to your efforts, China and the S.D.C. are struggling to maintain their crumbling war effort! *laughs*

Section: *smiles* *claps*

Crosby: Alright! *laughs*

JSOC Strike Force: *claps* Whooo! Oh, yeah!

Admiral Briggs: We had them on the run. Now, we have 'em backed into a corner. Okay, settle down now. We may know it, but they know it as well. Which means they'll be going all out to keep their precious war with Russia safe and strong. So stay focused, stay alive. Now.

Computer: *beep* (visually) Tian Zhao. Chairman of Strategic Defense Coalition Armed Forces.

Admiral Briggs: This whack job has been juicing his boys and his balls to invade Russia. China and the S.D.C. have lost their minds. The Russian president has asked for our help. Now just five minutes ago, I was on the phone with President Bosworth. She called it. We're gonna take him out.

Section: Killing Zhao will deal a massive blow to Menendez' plan to start World War 4 between America and S.D.C. Zhao will fly to Peshawar for a meeting with him about the invasion at approximately sixteen hundred hours tomorrow. It's boots on the ground, old school. Shoot down Zhao's VTOL, tag him and bag him. You'll have an entire platoon in support.

Section and Briggs shake hands*

Admiral Briggs: Good luck, Commander. This is it. You have to take out Zhao before S.D.C. camps out in Moscow. You fuck it up, and our military supremacy is just a wet dream.

Crosby: Won't happen. Admiral Briggs, Lieutenant Commander Mason, request permission to go with the Strike Force to assassinate General Zhao.

Section: You sure, Crosby?

Crosby: Yes, sir. Because the outcome of this op will make or break us. This is a do-or-die situation. We need to go all out. Nothing can be left to chance.

Admiral Briggs: You're right. Permission granted. *shakes Crosby's hand* Good luck, Petty Officer.

Crosby: Thank you, Admiral.

Section: Granted. You heard us. Ready up.

Section and Crosby shake hands*

Crosby: Thank you, Lieutenant Commander.

19:00:40, JSOC Strike Force is up and away to Afghanistan to take an MRAP road trip to Peshawar, Pakistan. June 17th, 2025 - 15:59:55, with three S.D.C. VTOL transports now in Pakistani airspace and ISR confirming General Zhao in one of them, the SEALs aim their FHJ-18 AAs and fire away.

Crosby: Visual confirmation on enemy VTOLs. 200 yards and closing.

Rogue 4-1: Hurry it up! We only got one shot at this.

Crosby: I got tone. Taking the shot!

missile launching*

Rogue 4-4: I got a lock. Firing!

missile launching*

Rogue 4-3: Good tone. Missile out!

missile launching*

boom boom boom*

crash crash crash*

Crosby: Kraken, this is Trident 6. Good effect on target. Zhao's VTOL is coming down in a controlled crash landing, over.

Section: Confirmed. Push to the crash site and ensure General Zhao is KIA. The intel collected in Lahore gave us enough time to secure all necessary assets. Let's do this by the book. Assassination of General Zhao authorized.

Crosby: Understood, moving. Rogue 4, Rogue 5, move out!

Rogue 4-2: On you, Trident 6.

Rogue 5-1: Infantry moving to support you, 6.

Because Section collected all the necessary details from Menendez in Lahore, two fireteams led by Crosby will move in while the rest of the platoon will be on standby if reinforcements are needed. And the operation in the Himalayas made sure that the only opposition JSOC Strike Force will be up against is enemy infantry.

The S.D.C. may be tight on drones and automated sentries, but the ground units will consist of Chinese Spec Ops. So the DEVGRU operators remain laser focused and frosty.

Halfway to the crash site, Section informs the strike force that Zhao has activated the lockdown sequence of his VTOL transport. But knowing the features of those things, they came prepared with H.P.M. Network Intruders to breach the security protocol.

Just like King and Shade, Crosby is an invulnerable NPC but will die if the mission fails via mission time running out. Recommend killing as many enemies as possible and defending the Network Intruder well until it finishes its job to have a better chance of mission success.

Now by the cargo bay door of Zhao's VTOL, Rogue Team 4 plants one of their portable hacking modules while Rogue Team 5 covers them. With one minute until pulse, the SEALs fight and kill hard and well to protect the device and each other from lucky shots and RPG teams.

Even Crosby literally stands in front of the H.P.M. Network Intruder, all exposed, to keep it safe and working. The Petty Officer trusts his teammates, his M4V9, his X-45 Tactical and himself to finish the mission.

One minute of hard defense later, the VTOL's cargo door opens and the responding S.D.C. forces are wiped out. Zhao stands up and faces the Americans with no will to fight, probably thinking they will capture him.

Only to be met by four M4V9 cartridges and a KAP-40 round to the heart from Crosby and Rogue 4-4. The two, along with the rest of Rogue Team 4, then take a picture of the dead Chinese general, search his downed aircraft for anything valuable and put him in a body bag while Rogue Team 5 secures the outside.

Crosby: Mission accomplished. Target splashed.

Rogue 4-4: Mission success. Target is confirmed dead.

Section: Roger. Ensure photos and SSE are complete, and move to extraction site.

One minute later.

Rogue 5-1: SSE complete.

Rogue 4-1: Zhao came here empty-handed.

Rogue 4-4: Photos sent, Kraken.

Crosby: Trident 6 to Kraken. We got the HVT in a body bag. We're ready to bug out, over.

Section: Outstanding, team. You're cleared for exfil, over.

Crosby: Roger that, Kraken. See you soon. Trident 6, out.

June 18th, 2025 - 04:00:55, JSOC Strike Force returns to the Obama with their kill safe and sound, no casualties. After the C.I.A. claims Zhao's body, the SEALs go to the Team Room for a debrief.

Admiral Briggs: Hell of a job there, Mason, Crosby.

Section: Agreed, sir.

Crosby: Affirmative, Admiral.

Admiral Briggs: Trident Team, JSOC Strike Force, you have just accomplished what no other unit, organization or government could. You ended The Second Cold War and prevented World War 4. Washington told me that Beijing has begged for a genuine cease fire and possible alliance. You DID it! *laughs*

Trident Team: *claps*

JSOC Strike Force: *cheers*

Admiral Briggs: Now, with them out of the way, all we have to do is deal with Menendez and his cocksuckers in Cordis Die and WCO PMC.

To everyone's surprise, Briggs gives a shout-out to one particular operator in the room.

Admiral Briggs: Before we get back to work, I'd like to give a special ovation to Petty Officer Crosby.

Crosby: Sir?

Admiral Briggs: Your hard work in getting the necessary intel to help us handle Cordis Die and China carefully has possibly changed the fallout of this war for the better.

Crosby: Ah, it was not all me, sir.

Admiral Briggs: I know. But you acted on it first. And helped us act on it as well. That is commendable outside-the-box critical thinking and initiative. Which is why... Commander Mason.

Section: Petty Officer First Class Luke Crosby. I'm promoting you to the rank of Chief Petty Officer. You've earned it. Congratulations. *shakes Crosby's hand*

With that decision, Crosby smiles underneath his mask and expresses his humble gratitude.

Crosby: Thank you, sir.

Harper: Congratulations, Chief Crosby. *shakes Crosby's hand*

Crosby: Thank you, Lieutenant Harper.

Salazar: Chief. Congratulations, Luke. *Salazar and Crosby shake hands and hug*

Crosby: Thanks, Chief Sal.

King: Congratulations on making Chief, Fallout.

Shade: Congratulations, Fallout. Well deserved, kid.

King and Shade hug Crosby*

Crosby: *chuckles* Thank you, Commander, Master Chief. Thank you for helping me get this far.

Then the Admiral gets an idea after hearing King and Shade call Crosby "Fallout".

Admiral Briggs: Fallout. Is that a codename or just a nickname, Commander?

King: Just a improvised nickname for security purposes, Admiral.

Admiral Briggs: Well, I'd like to make it official. Luke Crosby. Codename: Fallout.

King: Perfect.

Shade: Excellent choice, sir.

Salazar: Fallout.

Section: Fallout.

Harper: Fallout. What do you think, Crosby?

Crosby: Fallout, huh? Sounds perfect. Thank you, my brothers. I'm real honored. This is for the fallen. This is for us.

All: *claps*

Admiral Briggs: For the fallen. For us. For Fallout.

Trident Team: For the fallen. For us. For Fallout.

JSOC Strike Force: For the fallen. For us. For Fallout.

All: FOR THE FALLEN! FOR US! FOR FALLOUT! *claps*

Fallout: For Fallout.

Bio:

Born in Arlington, Virginia, Luke Crosby used to be the only child of a miserable military family. He lost his grandfather in the Vietnam War. Which caused his father to kill himself through depression while trying to follow his late father's footsteps. Then his brokenhearted mother died shortly after. Barely a year old, he lived in the foster care system and was never adopted because he was "characterless, uninteresting and vanilla" in the eyes of childless couples. But despite coming from a tragic past and being unwanted, he turned out to be a happy, humble, good young man thanks to the never-ending support of his foster parents and siblings, and his love for American Football. At age fifteen, he earned a slim but present chance to be drafted into the Virginia Cavaliers, which, despite being a dream come true, he turned down to join the U.S. Navy SEALs after surviving the Virginia Tech Shooting as a visitor for the tryout. With his drive to become a football star being replaced with one to make the United States a safer place. As a result, worry started looming around his foster family. Thus he assured them that he will be physically and mentally alright by passing the entire selection process without issues, and visiting his late grandfather, mother and father to say his thanks and farewells. He would then lose them in the Russo-American War but would continue to live his life happily, passionately and safely with what he loves in life: the United States of America, American Football and the U.S. Military. As his way of honoring their memories.
