Operation Syndicate/Warming Up

The first chapter in the fanfiction by EternalBlaze.

American U.N. Headquarters, Washington D.C., United States

It's always busy in the war room. Always. But not like today; today was just a calm day, where its people were working noticeably slower and the day just seemed to drag on. What was it that got these people to work so slow all of a sudden? Was it because of the useless war the U.N. declared on the Ultranationalists and The Aftershock? Maybe.

General Eric Leeson roamed around the room, checking on what everyone was doing, making sure they were on task and looking for any enemy activity. He was surprised to see two enemy ships out in the arctic, wondering what it was doing there. He noticed that they were dangerously close to the north pole.

"Ah, what have we here?" He muttered to himself as he looked closer on the scanner.

The scanner was simply just a radar saying that there were two ships docked at the north pole, but Leeson knew that whoever it was (knowing that it wasn't friendly at the least), they were onto something suspicious.

He picked up the nearest telephone and called the building's operator, telling them to contact Vauxte Squad, telling them to report to HQ.

After about ten to fifteen minutes, five figures entered the headquarters' main entrance, through the elevator shaft. They walked out slowly to the balcony that overlooked the entire room.

"So, whaddya need us to do, general?" Aeon, the squad leader, called from across the room.

Leeson smiled at their arrival and called them down for debriefing.
