"Thom, can you patch me in to the Platinum Soldier Commander's line? I need to ask him a few questions."
"Ok... Done, Cap."
"Alright. Commander, first off, why is Nexus down in the first place? This might be info I shouldn't tell you, but we've investigated Nexus before and he hasn't done anything wrong. Secondly, is lethal force authorized, or do you want us to use stunners?"TO: President Congreve

Hello:
We have detected an explosion at one of your airports via our satellites. Is this the reason Nexus was taken down? Anyway, back to business.
We will indeed take up this task for you. We will send two squads of Team HellBent, and two squads of Valkyries. Expect them in a main port in your nation by patrol boat in a few days. In addition to this, however, we would like to request that your AI scientists come to the Royal Empire for the duration of this conflict. Both for their safety, and to help us with building an AI.
Sincerely,
General W.

Natasha switched the phone to speakerphone and the commander answered.
"I have a lot of other things I need to attend to, so I can't elaborate on why Nexus is down, but I do know that it would be highly preferable if you brought him back alive. Good luck." he said and then hung up.
"This is your pilot speaking." said the intercom "I have just received word that I am now under the command of Captain Collins. Would you like to come forwards to the flight deck and give us our orders, sir?"
Reply to Gametopia:
Yes, there is a potential that Nexus intentionally caused the explosion, and that falls far enough outside his normal behavior that we decided to shut him down for safety. Your help is appreciated, however we regret that almost all of our personnel who have experience with Nexus are busy dealing with his shutdown, and as such cannot be called away to your nation at this time.
