Quotes 

• Vice President Noah Daniels : [Over the speaker phone]  Mr. President, this is Vice President Daniels

  President Yuri Suvarov : Mr. Vice President, the last time we spoke, you said an "opportunity" had "presented" itself?

  Vice President Noah Daniels : Unfortunately, that didn't "work out." There has been a "significantly new" development and I'm asking you to "hold off" on any military assault on our base

  President Yuri Suvarov : For what reason sir?

  Vice President Noah Daniels : The Chinese agent who is in possession of the component has been tracked to a oil platform on the west coast: we assume they are waiting for transport to China. I've ordered an air strike to destroy that platform before that rendezvous can take place. I realize that you have no reason to accept what I'm telling you, not without proof at least but I implore you...

  President Yuri Suvarov : [Interrupts him]  I believe you: just moments ago, one of our listening posts intercepted a transmission to a Chinese submarine operating in the western pacific. The point of origin is ten miles off your coast and the content suggests that the submarine is on route to pick up the component

  Vice President Noah Daniels : Then you "know" I'm telling you the truth

  President Yuri Suvarov : You say you've already launched an airstrike against this oil platform?

  Vice President Noah Daniels : Yes, that's the only way we can make absolutely certain the component's been destroyed. Sir, we're prepared to give you a real time uplink to our satellite feed of the assault operation

  President Yuri Suvarov : How long will your fighters reach the target?

  Vice President Noah Daniels : Twenty minutes Mr. President

  President Yuri Suvarov : Very well but be advised: nothing less than a complete destruction of this oil platform will give us the assurance we require

  Vice President Noah Daniels : Understood, stand by, the satellite feed will be there momentarily

  President Yuri Suvarov : I wish you luck Mr. Vice President
