Somewhere deep in the mountains, an aircraft that looks a lot like a Jesian cargo plane lands at an Anacodian airstrip. a small team carries a large crate out of the plane and hurries it into a nearby building.
"Did you get it?" an unknown officer says, as the individuals carrying the crate silently sets it on the table and opens it, revealing a rather sleek cruise missile. "That answers that." The officers says, looking in the crate, before noticing the blueprints. "And thats even better. Excellent work, as usual. Were you detected?" He asks inquisitively. The pilot of the plane takes off his helmet and speaks. "Unfortunately yes, the plan didnt go perfectly. The bribe didnt exactly work, so we neutralized the guards around the plane and took the missile. As far as they know a foreign nation stole a missile, we left nothing behind to give any clue as to who. We also retrieved this file, though its currently locked." the soldier explains. "Excellent, You and your team are dismissed. Go enjoy your well earned R&R.". The group comes to attention, salutes, and departs.
The officer remaining in the now quiet room picks up a red phone on a nearby desk. "Clearance code Exavier-Tango-November-Golf-Alpha-Seven-Nine-Five--Six-Two-Whiskey-Mark-Actual" He says, pausing for a short moment. "Proceed" A voice replies, masked by a filter. "Excursion success level Omega-1. BP's and a fully intact product. Estimated range is quite nearly global." He speaks. "Excellent work Colonel. Project Sky Spear is now well ahead of schedule with this achievement. Continue with your work to scale up the Q-22. I want it to be able to fit at least 4 of these in its internal bay." The voice again replies. "Understood." The Colonel says, hanging up with the phone, and securing the room before leaving to go about his duties.
The disguised cargo plane has been pulled into a hangar and is now being rapidly dismantled, its parts being carted off for incineration.

The base Colonel grabs the locked file, puts it in a high tech looking suitcase, and locks it up before carrying it onto a jet and taking a seat. The jet zips off to the capitol to deliver the file into the hands of AI Perseus. Time passes, and the Colonel is escorted via heavily armed guard out of the airport and straight into AI Perseus's waiting transport.
"Project Sky Spear has undergone a rapid development, though you have already been briefed on that." He says. AI Perseus patiently holds out his hand. "I was told you found something of interest, aside from the obvious?" AI Perseus says calmly. "Yes sir, a file" the Colonel says, holding up the case and passing it over. "We haven't been able to crack it, we thought you might have a better chance given your...unique abilities." He said, looking nervously around. "There is no need for worry, you're back in the capitol. Its quite safe here. You've done well Colonel, the fruits of the excursion will serve us greatly. Perhaps organizing another will be in our best interest. Your program will receive extra funding. Sky Spear is a necessary deterrent, and capable of much more than that role alone, and I want a progress report, now if you would please." Perseus said insistently.
The Colonel nodded, gathered himself, and spoke. "Progress is going smoothly, scaling up the engine itself wasn't hard, but incorporating an internal missile bay large enough to hold the requested payload has proven straining. An additional engine may be necessary, which in an of itself comes with a whole range of changes. Larger air frame, larger fuel tanks, which can make it slower, it may be necessary to design a larger craft and specially designed engines. It will be exorbitantly expensive, but given enough time it is possible to adapt the prototype from project SABRE and boost the speed from Mach 3 to at least Mach 5. Though due to the nature of such an endeavor, we would be unable to make more than one. And on top of that, it would require reflexes faster than anything our current computer programs can manage." The Colonel pauses, and Perseus raises an eyebrow, he has a feeling of what might happen next. "What do you propose as a solution?" Perseus asked inquisitively, though he already knew the answer. "We would like to experiment with incorporating your Neural Net into our drones. You would be able to control them remotely, provided you're within horizon range. Unless of course we could launch a dedicated satellite, but that would increase costs even more and -" Perseus raises a hand and the Colonel falls silent. "You will have all the funding you need. Just let me know what you need from me." he says. "Money, metal, men, time, and a lot of it. It may take years given the sheer difficulty of hypersonic technology, but its doable."

Later that night, AI Perseus is enjoying the sounds of music playing, enjoying himself He then starts opening the file that the Colonel gave him Interesting, its highly encrypted for a normal file. He is suddenly presented with an image [CLASSIFIED EYES ONLY. UNAUTHORIZED VIEWING PUNISHABLE BY DEATH]
[MILITARY DOC...43/]
AI Perseus thought for a moment, was opening this file a good idea? This would expose so many things about the Jesians possible. Is it a list of attacks? Weaknesses? He had to find out for the security of his nation
[ CONFIDENTIAL CONFIDENTIAL CONFIDENTIAL
REPORTS BY THE MILITARY OF JESIA
WARPLAN CHERRY BLOSSOM
WARPLAN BLOSSOM :
Using new puppet governments in Ventica and Adersi, use for naval dominance for sea near SOCIALIST FACTION Dominate trade in Ventica region, undermine Krimera, economically coerce Krimeran elite to adhere to pro-jesian interests. Establish nuclear missiles in Adersi, launch missiles at Shreminov. Attack remaining stragglers, establish military presence to launch aerial bombardment of Anacodia. Attempt temporary alliance with NNE to launch an attack in Scalesburgh. After the dissolution of socialist alliance, launch surprise attacks on Rothish and NNE military bases and fleets, eliminate threats. Launch nuclear weapons at Krimera, eliminate key positions and large urban centers. Naval invade Rothaland and Krimera, while bombarding NNE into submission. Launch large scale invasion of Odinburgh and The Arken, using new military assets and technology from defeated enemies from all sides. LISTS OF NATIONS TO PRIORITIZE CHEMICAL WARFARE -Krimera -Odinburgh -NNE -Anacodia
Use Jesian civilian presence in Stratonia to establish peaceful transition to puppet state. Invade remaining nations
Long live the Emperor! Banzai! ]Along with this file were many other files, with detailed plans containing times, dates, locations, movement of troops and commanding roles. This is possibly the greatest leak in the world. The plan the Jeisans have been working on for years is now in his hands

Perseus, after pouring over the intel, stares blankly at the screen before securing the file, storing it in its locked container the Colonel gave him. He would need to call a meeting with the ISV at once, and formulate an action plan. War plans weren't anything new for a nation to have, Anacodia had several of its own, though they were all hypothetical. This was a crucial piece of data, and if the Jesians intended to follow through on this, fast moves needed to be made. Counters need to be brought up, and resources to defend against chemical attacks needed to be readied. Thoughts raced through his digital mind, but he didn't have time to wait around. He immediately picked up the red phone on his desk and spoke. "Authorization Aleph-Omega-Five-Nine-Crimson-Golf-Tango-Six-Two-Eight." He said quickly, not waiting for a response "Tell Excalibur to prepare another excursion. Bring back anything related to chemical weapons. Data is mandatory, a sample will be highly rewarded. Bring the Prototype if things get messy and the agents involved have to pack their false teeth." He says, slamming the phone down and powerwalking to his door before collecting himself and calmly walking out. After all, he needed to give the impression that everything is ok.
