Unavoidable Conflict

As CIA Director Elias Friedman was about to retire, his successor, Edward Bass, met him in the basement of the CIA headquarters. Friedman presented a security dossier, a stark reminder of the United States' most pressing security threat: the border. Undercover agents had delved into the dark underbelly of this criminal world, and their findings were a chilling testament to the gravity of the situation. The dossier, a culmination of his collaboration with global counterparts and the study of the research of renowned behavior scientists, was a call to action. Marshall Griswald, leading a military that was still recovering from a war in the Middle East, took time to warm to the idea of a new conflict. He believed the military couldn't absorb a new one, but the dossier's contents left him with no choice.

With the expectation of over eight million immigrants intending to stay in the U.S., President Winn summoned a meeting with leaders to devise a resolution that would address the needs of the people while also ensuring border security. They entrusted Griswald with the responsibility of managing years of research, a task that required the collective efforts of all. "Understood, sir," Griswald acknowledged President Winn. "Our first aim is to safeguard our promises to future generations." Griswald proposed a series of events and a gala, a testament to unity and shared mission." The Air Force Space Academy's star mission pilot raced with the speed of a bullet in an SR-71 Blackbird. Second, he executes the first trip into orbit from McSwain South, a new base that signals troops deploying to space. With their collaboration, an ocean war erupted. Griswald's military and Bass's CIA agents, fueled by a shared mission, worked tirelessly to dismantle the trafficking networks piece by piece.
