The announcement
At the pressroom at the UN building in New York, Charles Buckingham was in a seat in the middle of a few dozen was in a seat in the middle of reporters from different outlets. There were mingling and murmuring with each other, waiting for the UN press secretary to arrive.
After around 10 minutes of waiting, the UN press secretary entered the room and made her way to the podium. "Hello everyone, welcome, I will get right to business."
She took a moment before she started speaking. "I'm pleased to announce that we are now ready to liberate Iceland from the undead."
Charles notice the door where the press secretary entered from opened to reveal a four star general. He walked over to the podium behind the press secretary. "Now to go over the plan, hear is the Commander of zombie command, General Travis D'Ambrosia."
"Thank you everyone for being here today." The general said. "The task of liberating Iceland will be difficult but not impossible as more of the hordes are being tracked or exterminated, I can say for certain that we are ready to liberate the landmass with the highest concentration of the undead."
He took a moment before speaking again. "The task won't be easy and will require the assistance of outside help, and in doing so we have contracted three firms to sail to the north, south, and east coasts. There they will attract the zombies towards them and allow us to land our air ships at Vaprafjorour Airport and to establish a base of operations."
There was a moment of silence before he spoke again. "I will be happy to take any questions."
The reporters raised their hands hoping to be pointed to. As the general scanned the sea of reporters. He took questions for the next half hour.
Once the press conference was over, Buckingham took a cab back to the office. Going into the offices, he went to his boss' office and knocked on the door. "Come in."
Buckingham entered the office. "It's confirmed!"
"Call a meeting." The boss told him.
Buckingham went to the door. "Meeting in the bosses office!"
"To Iceland!" Kai shouted as she ran into the office.
Most of the other reporters entered though they had to wait a minute for Omar to enter. "Sorry everyone, trying to get details about troop deployments to clear the Sahara."
"It's alright Omar." The boss said.
"Cool Omar was late, can we talk about the liberation of Iceland now." Kai said impatiently.
"Yes, you impatient twat." Buckingham told her playfully.
Kai sucks their tongue out at him. The boss chuckled. "Alright, Charles if you would."
Buckingham went on to explain the announcement and the plan of attack. When he informed them that private mercenary groups were going to be a part of the liberation, Kai's face brightened as a wide grin appeared on their face.
"What are the names of the ship?" They asked.
Looking through his notepad, Buckingham found it. "Let's see, the ships attacking Iceland are the IS Lee, the IS Dixon, and the IS Imfingo."
The boss perked up when the Imfingo was mentioned. "So, we can have on of ours during the beginning."
"The UN won't allow any journalists on their air ships." Le Roux said.
"Who said anything about the UN?" Kai said gleefully.
"I will have to make some calls, but I may be able to get Kai onto the IS Imfingo." The boss said.
"You think the UN will let them?" Sanchez asked.
"We are sending the gremlin?" Petrov asked.
"That's what the calls are for, and yes we sending Kai if allowed."
"Yes!" Kai shouted excitedly.
"If! You gremlin. If!" Petrov sternly told them.
"It's going to be extremely difficult to dump our favorite feral." Sanchez said.
