A Coalition Storm

[arvg]

((Kremlin Volgograd))

Katz marched through the halls, his boots ringing on the flagstones, as his long overcoat boiled behind him. Following him were two bodyguards, each hevilly armed and ready for anything.

He pushed through the doors, and into the strategic war room, a chamber overflowing with data streaming in from listening posts and GRU agents throughout Sirius.

Admiral Karchov stood, on a platform high above a strategic map of Sirius staring down at the up dated holographic data studying, in real time, the passage of the violent storm.

Ion Storm Boris, it had been dubbed by High Command. A number of whom were already present in the room.

As the head of the Civilian Government, it wasnt Katzs place to interrupt a military matter, and he made it a rule to not get directly involved in strategic affairs. But his personal affinity with the Umbrella Project, and his time working with the Seven Alien Artifacts had made him one of the few Coalition experts on the subject.

He was arguably, one of the few men in Sirius who had made a direct study of such devices up close and directly.

It is confirmed, a Sub-Lieutenant reported. The Embassy in Gallia reports that the surrounding systems are also affected Commissar-Commander Gonzales is patching in the Maquis sensor data now

The Map shifted and changed, showing the full extent of the storm, boiling its way across the Gallic systems. Boris was untamed, and wild, and was hammering everything in her path with merciless fury.

This storms ferocity exceeds that of Anastasia, Doctor Walcziak of the Coalitions Astrological Metrological Service reported, tilting his peaked cap back in amazement. And you say this is artificially generated?

This is classified, Commissar Mendel reported, surveying everyone in the room. All had top level clearance, the kind required to work so closely with High Commands Strategic Operations. But it didnt hurt to be careful.

This storm is the result of seven nomad artifacts recovered last year working in unison with power drawn directly from an active Nomad Power Cell, Katz replied. He pulled out his glasses, and climbed the stairs to the platform to get a better look at the mess. Captain Alvarez is on site with the devices Lt. Commander Broch is in the same system she should be arriving at the Kerimov soon the storm though has given the Social Credit a difficult time and her transit has been very rough. But Lt. Warner will get her through
We have assets close by, Lt. Medvedov is on Toledo, the TNC-Officer stated. We also have Sub-Lieutenants Lee and Brooks currently MIA we know they were both attempting to recover GRU agents from New Tokyo, but we lost contact

Our first priority should be to restore communications through the storm to our agents, Katz recommended.
