Meanwhile, in Moscow

Joseph King:

Ah, Admiral Urslov. Good to see you, and congratulations on the pregnancy. If I may ask, who is the father?

Laura Urslov, head Admiral of the Norldian Navy:

That’s what I wanted to discuss Joe, the father is a Caraisan.

Joe:

Oh, well that’s -

Laura:

It’s General Kurdet, head of their armed forces.

Joe:

Oh, Laura... stay right here.

He called one number on his personal phone, the Norldian ambassador to Caraisa, who was just about to flee the country

The other number is Captain of Orions Crusaders, the most elite special forces unit in GTN called from his desk phone.

“Hello, Tom, yeah it’s me. No no, don’t leave Caraisa. In fact, I need Leistung on the phone right now.”

“Hello, Hercules? Hermit? Whatever your codename is? Yeah yeah, I may need you to be ready to extract one General Kurdet from Caraisa depending on how this next call goes. I’m gonna put you on hold, stay on the line”

“Laura, tell your Kurdet friend that the jig is up. Whatever that entails is up to fate. This could result in the deaths of millions or the saving of millions. It’s a coin flip at this point.”
