Code Red

the code red

Carl's emergency order sending every crawler to their lines twenty hours before the ceasefire was due to end.

Story so far

With Prepotente, Elle and Florin all reporting enemy movement and the tanks uncovering on the The Naga side, Carl cuts through the chat: "Shit. Everyone. Let's go. Code red. Man your lines. I don't know what's happening, and it could be a drill, but I think shit's about to go down. Remember the plan."

Nothing is ready. Imani says nobody is in place and the defenses aren't done. Li Jun has two splash towers standing in Shanty Town and nothing else, with Li Na promising two more in twenty minutes. Louis has only half the bombs installed on the aircraft; Carl tells him they don't have a choice and to get it into the air ASAP. The order closes the chapter with The Ceasefire nominally still running for almost twenty more hours.

Role

The general alarm that ends the chapter and puts the Princess Posse on a war footing.
