Location: External Base
POV: Kyle's
''Gentlemen, The design blueprints for the Zeppelin have arrived, if we may have your attention,'' Mackensen said. The room immediately calmed down as their attention returned back to the Marshall. ''As I have stated this is a state of the art design,'' I said whilst walking towards the Blueprint which is 10 meters long and 2 meters wide. It has been hung from the roof. But when I was about to touch it. 'WARNING WANDERER CONNECTION TO TIMELINE IS DISRUPTED!' My pupils dilated as my conscious was pulled into darkness. But immediately I heard the iconic voice of the app.'Connection reestablished!'
''GET THE BLUEPRINT AND RUN PRIVATE!'' A middle-aged man screamed as he was at the helm of an Airship.''SIR THERMO BOMB INBOUND 6 O'clock!'' A navigator shouted ''BRACE BRACE BRACE!'' The captain shouted as he pulled me to the ground, I blinding light flashed as a shock wave followed. ''SIR DAMAGE TO ALL SECONDARY BATTERIES!'' The Gunnery master said. ''FIRE ON THE ENEMIES!'' The captain ordered. ''SIR THE CONFEDERATION IS SENDING THEIR COLOSSUS CLASS!'' A radar operator screamed. Immediately afterwards a massive Zeppelin 1 kilometre in length appeared, massive 20-inch cannons aimed at their Zeppelin. Everyone's faces looked grim. They all stood up and saluted the captain.
''Sir, It was an honour Flying with you!'' The crew said. ''Son, GO! THE CONFEDERATION WANTS THE BLUEPRINT! NEVER GIVE IT TO THEM!'' With that said he pushed me into the teleporter of the ship. 'BOOM!' The 20-inch guns fired, hitting the Zeppelin, 'Warning unknown coordinates, warning unknown plane, warning Teleporter malfunction.' The system rang as the Teleporter was charging. 'Identified the wrong timeline to Wanderer's genome' Reconnecting back to correct timeline!' The App sounded again. My conscious came back to my body. '2148, that's the date on this Blueprint, which indeed makes no sense. But now I know how Airships came to be so big, they had a reference!'
''Sir are you okay? you are spacing out'' The head of the Healthcare Sector said. ''I am fine, Thank you. I will now go over the specifications:

production is estimated to be 2 Billion RM for each unit since we have cancelled the Norway plan we have the financial capabilities. Remember, a battleship costs around 300 million RM, we have something 6 2/3x stronger than a normal battleship!'' I finished with a big sigh.
''SIR, SIR!'' a Generalmajor ran in without knocking. '' WE ARE AT WAR!'' He screamed desperately. Everyone was baffled when he said that. ''Generalmajor please explain in detail!'' I ordered. ''YES MARSHALL!'' He replied, before continuing: ''At 16:52 all our Supply bases in Western Europe were attacked, It was the same organisation that attacked us on the British Isles. The bases Sunsword, Vortex, Starlight and Codex have been hit the hardest. We have lost all contact, we have also lost 67% of all personnel in western Europe, our intelligence outposts have also been on high alert the entire time.''
''MARSHALL!'' An Oberst runs into the meeting room,''If it isn't urgent please leave Oberst.'' I replied. ''IT IS URGENT, OUR BASES IN MIDDLE EUROPE HAVE BEEN ATTACKED NONE ARE LEFT, ALIVE SIR!'' The Oberst shouted. ''WHAT! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE! I HAVE MADE SURE EVERYTHING WAS KEPT SECRET!'' The Sector head of The Intelligence Sector was going mad. ''Calm DOWN SECTOR HEAD!'' I bellowed. ''Yes. Sir.'' He replied dejectedly. ''Now gentlemen we are facing our first crisis, how are we going to handle this situation!'' I asked. ''I propose the immediate dispatch of all our forces to protect our investments!'' The sector head Hoffman proposed of finance. ''I propose the immediate concentration of forces like we had in plan 2 for England.'' Rudolf Proposed.
'Nothing is going to cut it, WE ARE NOT READY!' I thought desperately. ''Oberst, and Generalmajor, relay Oder 60, to all our inner and outer core members, give the external core Order N.46,'' I Ordered. ''WE ARE TO WITHDRAW OUR PRESENCE FROM THE WORLD!'' I said. ''Marshall, I also propose to bind to a country for protection, we saw the German and French government both support the organisation, but Spain and Poland did not. Clearly, their influence is in Major nations, not Minor.'' Sector head of Intelligence proposed. ''I Agree, we shall vote on which country!'' The men debated under each other and started to write down their Votes. ''Sir The Votes are in.'' The Hauptmann said before continuing'' 1 vote for Luxembourg, 3 for Belgium, 5 for Austria, 4 for Switzerland and 1 for Germany!''
''The Council has decided, everyone, pull your resources together and get me a meeting with the head of Austrian Government!'' I ordered, people came end left again as they started to get back favours people own them and try to get me a meeting. ''BOOM!'' Dust falls from the ceiling as the floor vibrates. ''ENEMY CONTACT!'' People shouted inside the base, ''BOOM!'' Artillery shells started to pound the base from above. ''Mackensen, go check out what is happening,'' I ordered Mackensen. ''Yes Kyle!'' And with that, We waited for his return.
