As the next few weeks played out, the Ghost and his team were fully integrated into the program's lifestyle.
Juno kept working on Constitution's reactor problem, the Watch Overlord and the Ghost were busy repairing an old B-17 that had been decommissioned by the program.
"Hand me that ratchet would ya?"
"Here."
"Ghost, what's the plan now? I'm not sure, even if we stay here, we're just test subjects and lab rats to the assholes in white. That's not something I'd normally agree to."
"True, but look at the amount of things they have given us! Think about it? We did incredible things because of the fact that we work really well together."
The Ghost nodded as he tightened down a fuel line and closed the engine cowl. "Try in now!"
Logan turn the engine over, almost immediately it started, pouring smoke as the ancient engine rumbled to life.
"Well that's one out of the other three engines..."
Suddenly, alarms started blaring around the facility. The Ghost and his crew assumed that the alarms came from the smoke from the B-17. However, scientists and military personal, began scrambling around and Commander Perry rushed past them.
"Get to your rooms now!"
The Ghost and the others nodded and rushed to meet up with the others.
"What's going on child?"
"I'm not sure. Gather the others Barbara, I think something bad is about to happen."
In the command center, Commander Perry and the others were witnessing what could only be describe as the bible book of Revelations.
"Dear god...Missile strikes all over the world. Majority of them are aimed at the United States."
"Sir. what do we do?"
"Get the Ghost and the others test subject ready to leave. This is no simulation...This time, they fight for real. In the meantime, wipe every hard drive and scrub every shred of data we collected. I don't care if you must die to make sure the data dies, they are our best hope."
"What about Project American Document?"
"I hope Juno fixed it, otherwise we are defenseless."
As the Sergeant runs to tell the test subjects, Commander Perry meets Constitution on the surface. As unknown aircraft enter the vicinity, she opened fire, however, as the aircraft came closer, the automaton became overwhelmed. Commander Perry mounted a modified AA gun and opened fire.
Meanwhile, the Sergeant and the other test subjects had made it into the vehicle bay.
"GO! GET OUT OF HERE!
With a nod, everyone raced away from the base in vehicles of all kinds.
"Juno take Liberty Bell straight to Ottawa! DO NOT STOP!"
The Ghost slammed the door to the B-17 and forced the other three engines fire up. The burned oil and smoked violently, but the bomber rose into the sky as a barrage of missiles leveled the compound.
Some of the test subjects looked back in horror to see the base gone, and soldiers marching inside to clean up those who had survived.
