Alright everybody. I know we are lined up for the final punch but we got some important news. The Brotherhood of Nod is using Airlifts to relocate their nuclear warheads to non remote areas. That means they are going to launch nuclear strikes that we cannot stop unless we stop their transports. Gary we want you up there for this one. Intel has equip your plane with a radiation sensor to tell which transport that needs blowing away or not. We also got spies infiltrating the Brotherhoods bases so they will be in charge of the operation and know which airlift is heading so expect target and data on route and you need to remember if one of those airlifts get through Billions of Lives will be suffering the price! We're all counting on you. Don't let us down. Good hunting out there.
