It starts off with a NORAD HQ's satellite that tracks three 6-triangle formations of bogeys approaching around the U.S. One group over the Bering Strait near Alaska.

NORAD HQ: Sand Bravo, we're reading 70 bogeys in your sector, please verify.

Nome AFB: Very funny, Station. That's a big negative, over.

NORAD Controller:*in background* Yeah, it might be a glitch on one of the ACS modules-

["Running A.C.S. diagnostics..."]

NORAD HQ: Sand Bravo, be advised, running diagnostics to scan for malfunction.

Nome AFB: The skies are clear, Station. You got yourself some phantom dots. Over.

Another large group over the Pacific near the West Coast.

NORAD HQ: Zulu X-Ray 6. Signs in your sector of some 100 bogeys, please advise.

Vandenberg AFB: Negatory, Station. Scope is clear. I dunno what to tell ya. Solar interference? Heavy sunspot activity today.

NORAD HQ: Sierra Delta, uh... we may have a minor ACS fault here. Do you have anything on your scope?

Air Traffic Controller: THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!!!

And a massive group of bogeys on the East Coast all over I-95.

NORAD HQ: Sierra Delta, repeat!!

Air Traffic Controller:*air raid sirens in the background* I'm lookin' at fighter jets over I-95! How the fuck did they get through?!

NORAD HQ: Standby! Attempting to contact the nearest units in that sector!

Ruby answers the call.

["A.C.S. Diagnostic Complete: FAULT"]

NORAD HQ: All stations, be advised - satellite surveillance has been disabled. SOSUS and PAVE PAWS arrays are inoperative at this time.

The satellite tracks U.S. Army Ranger Private Oscar Pine in Northeastern Virginia.

[Day 1 - 17:45:34]

[Pvt. Oscar Pine]

[1st Bn., 75th Ranger Regiment]

[Northeastern Virginia, U.S.A.]

The screen shows Private Oscar Pine(in his POV), Sgt. Ruby Rose, Cpl. Nora Valkyrie, and Sfc. Y/n L/n start off in a Humvee together. As they drive through a small town, radio chatter is heard of U.S. & allied forces unpreparedly engaging the Saderan Army.

US Soldier:*on radio* The Saderans have everything east of I-95! My sector's gonna fall within the hour!

US Marine:*on radio* We've lost contact with Annapolis! Where's the air support?!

Atlas Soldier:*on radio* Counter battery fire is unable to engage! Enemy paratroopers have infiltrated their position! We are CUT OFF! I REPEAT: WE ARE CUT OFF!! Broken Arrow, Broken Arrow! Drop that thousand pounder on the red smoke! NOW!!!

JSDF Soldier:*on radio* 質問：あなたのハリアーはI-495とUS-50のインターチェンジを乗り越えることができますか？！(Interrogative: Can your Harriers take out the interchange at I-495 and US-50, over?!)

Up above in the sky, Saderan MiGs are flying low and fast and transport planes are dropping paratroopers and armored vehicles.

The front Humvees' gunner(which is Martyr's team) spools his minigun at one paratrooper attempting to land on the roof of a house. The team drives down the street until they approach some roadblocks. A BTR-80 is at the end of the street, appearing from behind a tall hedge to catch the convoy by surprise.

Y/n: We got a BTR! Get out, get out!

They get out of their Humvee and follow Y/n behind some houses, out of the fire of the BTR, which destroys their Humvees, however the Marines in the lead one survived by getting out earlier and follows Y/n and his team.

Oscar gets a little wounded from being too close when his Humvee exploded.

Yuri: Come on guys, this way! Let's go let's go!

They move along the street behind the houses. Oscar pulls out the new SCAR-H with a Red Dot Sight and Shotgun attachment.

Y/n: Overlord, this is Hunter 2-1 requesting air support, over!

Hazama: Hunter 2-1, all air support is already engaged. Additional ground support is en route to your position but has encountered heavy resistance, over.

Ruby: Roger that Overlord. Be advised, we've encountered enemy armor and are proceeding on foot, over.

Hazama: Overlord copies all. Good luck. Out.

They continue down the back way until they reach a street.

Nora: Guys, did HQ just tell us to go 'Fuck' ourselves?

Yuri: Pretty much, Corporal!

Ruby: I got a fix on Raptor! 300 meters to the east!

Nora:*over radio* Roger that.

The BTR approaches from down the opposite street, blowing up houses as it goes with its heavy autocannon.

Martyr: Hold your fire! Don't engage the BTR - they haven't acquired us! Hang right and stay behind it!

They run behind another backyard to the right of the BTR.

Martyr: I got a visual on smoke coming from the crash site. That's where Raptor went down!

They follow Martyr up the road after the BTR has passed. The BTR stops by a roadblock. Its doors open and troops exit the vehicle.

Y/n: We're spotted! Pine - use your smoke grenades! Valkyrie, Blacker - cover him!

Oscar throws smoke grenades on the BTR.

Yuri: Use the cover of the smoke to run past the BTR into the alley!

They avoid the BTR and the troops coming out of it and run into a side alley, including as the BTR backs up to try and shoot them before withdrawing. A Saderan paratrooper is seen attempting to untangle himself free from his parachute, but to no avail as Oscar easily kills him. More hostiles come out from the alley and they engage them. They run to the end of the alley.

Oscar: Incoming! Truck 12 o'clock!

They kill the hostiles from the truck and run into the parking lot of the Shell Gas Station. A few more Saderans are killed at the gas store.

Y/n: On me! Go! Go! Go!

They cross the street and into the parking lot of Nate's Restaurant as another BTR fires on Nate's with its auto-cannon as it circles through Burger King's parking lot, damaging the roof.

Sally: Team! Don't engage that BTR! Our objective is the crash site!

Martyr: Check your fire! Friendlies coming in at 1 o'clock at the Tan and Brown building!

Oscar stacks up with everyone. They approach a downed helicopter, where LCpl. Steven Jacobs is fighting off Saderan forces at CRB Financial from behind a wrecked police car.

Y/n: Lance Corporal! Gimme a sitrep! Where's Raptor?

Steven: We moved him to the meat locker, it's practically bulletproof!

Martyr: What's his status?

Steven: He's still unconscious, you got a medic?

Ruby: Cpl. Valkyrie, check it out! What else?

Steven: We got a supply drop on the roof with a M-5 sentry gun!

Y/n: Pine - get to the roof and check out the supply drop!

Oscar: Right!

Yuri: What about anti-tank weapons? Air support?

Steven: We're all out.

Nora goes to the meat locker which is being guarded by a Ranger. He checks on Raptor.

Oscar heads inside the restaurant, and finds a ladder in the kitchen. He climbs to the top of the roof. There is an ammo crate which he can refill his ammo.

Sally: Heads up ladies, we got trucks to the south.

Ed: They're using smoke to cover their advance!

Y/n: Squad, this is Hunter 2-1 Actual. Switch to thermal optics if you got 'em.

Steven: Incoming from the south! Two dozen plus foot mobiles!

Oscar picks up an M14 EBR with Thermal Scope and takes out the incoming troops from the south.

Yuri: Tangos on the roof behind us!

Oscar turns towards the Burger Town rooftop and take out a few more hostiles there. After Oscar and the team clear the south side of Nate's Restaurant of troops, the team runs to the other side of the roof.

Nora: Contact to the north!

Oscar moves the sentry gun to the north side of Nate's Restaurant.

Martyr: Team, we got contacts to the north.

Steven: They're layin' down a smokescreen to the north.

Ruby: Roger. Switch to thermal if you got it.

Oscar takes out the troops coming from the north with an M14 EBR with a Thermal Scope. If the hostiles make their way to the rooftop.

Y/n: Our perimeter is breached! Enemies on the roof!

Ruby: Contact! Hostiles on the roof!

Yuri: Tangos on the roof behind us!

Oscar takes out the troops climbing the two ladders to the roof. The hostiles are eliminated.

Y/n: Looks like Saderans had enough. Cpl. Valkyrie, gimme a sitrep on Raptor, over.

Nora: Raptor is secure and stable.

Y/n: Roger that. Everyone check your weapons and ammo. They'll be back.

Yuri: Two-One-Delta, be advised, two BTRs coming in from the north.

Steven: Roger that.

Suddenly, missiles explode in the parking lot of Nate's Restaurant.

Nora:*shocked & surprised* What the hell was that?!

Martyr: Everyone! Get the fuck off the roof now!

Oscar and the others jump down the ladder into the kitchen.

Steven: I have a visual on an enemy UAV operator remote-piloting those missiles! He's inside that diner to the west, over!

Y/n: Pine! Get over there, and kill that SOB! I'll send part of my squad and Martyr will also send his part to help you out! Go!

Oscar, Nora, Steven, Edwin and Sally run across Nate's parking lot to Joe's Diner.

Everyone takes cover while the BTR passes them.

They make their way into the diner. There they engage Saderan soldiers inside, with additional hostiles entering the diner through the back door.

Nora: Incoming! Back door!

Everyone clear the diner of hostiles.

Steven: Pine - get the control rig for the UAV!

Oscar: Got it!

Oscar grabs the UAV control rig off the counter.

Ruby: Pine, neutralize that enemy armor.

Oscar uses the UAV rig to take out the first BTR in the area.

Ruby: Good effect on target. That's a kill. One more to go.

Oscar uses the UAV rig to destroy the second BTR.

Yuri: Nice work guys. Regroup over here.

Everyone leave the diner and begin moving back to Nate's Restaurant to regroup.

Y/n: ENEMY FAST MOVERS!! TAKE COVER!!!

Two MiGs fly overhead and bomb Nate's Restaurant before Everyone can reach it. The sign goes flying off before crashing to the ground on the curb across from the wrecked restaurant.

Oscar:*shocked & surprised* Whoa!!

Steven:*shocked & surprised* Fuck...me.

Sally:*shocked & surprised* Holy...

Nora:*shocked & surprised* Shit..

Ed:*shocked & surprised* Exclamation mark!

Oscar, Nora, Steven, & Sally:*looking at Ed in confusion* Dafuq?

Ed: Wut?

Steven: Two-One-Actual & Two-Five-Actual you guys still there?

Martyr:*coughs* Roger that we're good. Everyone listen up - new plan. Petrova!*coughs* Take your team and secure Burger King! We're gonna move Raptor over there! This location has been compromised!

Y/n: Y'all heard him! Everyone else listen up! We're moving Raptor ASAP! Stack up by the south entrance of Nate's! We need to get the hell out of this building before those fast movers make another pass.

Oscar and his squad run across the parking lot to Burger King and engages the tangos inside.

Yuri: Guys! You still got hostiles near the Burger King, we need to move!

The tangos inside are killed.

Y/n: Okay everyone be advised, we're gonna move Raptor from Nate's to the Burger King as a group! On three!

Y/n: One!

Y/n: Two!

Y/n: Three!

Y/n: Go go go!

Ruby, Y/n, Martyr and Yuri's teams, carrying Raptor, make their way over to Burger King from Nate's Restaurant.

Martyr: Guys, this way! Let's go let's go!

Ruby: Keep these guys off me!

They engage hostiles positioned at Taco Bell.

Nora: Tangos down.

Ruby secures Raptor in a meat locker inside Burger King and shuts the door locked.

Ruby: Guys, we've made it to the Burger King meat locker. Raptor is inside and secure. The door is shut - you guys keep enemies out. Friendly convoy is oscar mike.

Hazama: Hunter 2-1 & Alpha 2-5, this is Overlord Actual, we're seeing a large group of enemy reinforcements to your north, over.

Yuri: Pine, we got hostiles! Use your Predator Drone control rig to protect Raptor. We got incoming infantry! Keep them away from Burger King!

Oscar takes out targets with the Predator Drone.

Hazama: Ten plus KIAs. Good hit. Good hit.

Hazama: Oh, man, that's another ten plus confirmed, Hunter 2-1. Good shootin'.

The Predator Drone gets shot down after the second wave.

Steven: Someone just took out our Predator! Be advised, the Predator is offline! I repeat, the Predator is offline!

The Rangers & Marines are forced to hold off the third wave without the Predator.

The third wave is held off.

Hazama: Hunter 2-1 & Alpha 2-5, this is Overlord. We got a visual on a pair of enemy attack helicopters headed for your area, over.

Yuri: Solid copy, Overlord. Teams! Take down that helicopter! Go!

Ruby: Guys! I saw a Stinger missile in that diner to the west!

Oscar heads to Joe's Diner, retrieves a Stinger missile from inside, and shoots down the first Mi-28 Havoc that shows up.

Ruby: Nice work! That heli is down.

Hazama: Hunter 2-1 & Alpha 2-5, fifteen-plus tangos approaching near the diner to the west, over.

Soon afterwards, a second Havoc arrives.

Hazama: Hunter 2-1 & Alpha 2-5, relay from Goliath One: you got an enemy helicopter loaded for bear approaching your area, over.

Sally: Eyes up! Enemy gunship comin' in hot!

Martyr: The second helo just showed up! Take it down!

Martyr: Pine! I saw a couple of Stingers on the roof of Nate's!

Oscar heads to the roof of Nate's, grabs another Stinger missile, and shoots down the second Havoc. A convoy of Humvees, JLTVs, LAV-25s and M2 Bradleys arrives to the south of Burger King a few seconds later.

Y/n: The convoy's here! Everyone on me! We're getting the fuck outta here! Let's go, let's go!

Y/n: Pine! The convoy is just to the south of Burger King, get your ass over here! Move!

Oscar and the other Rangers & Marines reach the convoy and begin to evacuate the area.

Hazama: Hunter 2-1 & Alpha 2-5, this is Overlord, gimme a sitrep, over.

Martyr: Overlord, Alpha 2-5. Be advised: precious cargo is secure, repeat, precious cargo is secure. We're oscar mike.

Hazama: Overlord copies all. Good job. Out.

Yuri: Squads, we still got 2,000 plus civvies in Arcadia. If you got family there, it's your lucky day - we're gonna go save their lives!
