The graveyard shift was, contrary to most people's expectations, not a dumping ground for slackers. ATHENA was good at what they did, and the staff took pride in it. Well, when their responsibilities didn't suffer technical difficulties. The command center watch crew planned on rubbing it in for the training techs later; in the name of good fun, of course.
But even they couldn't be everywhere at once, which was why they had information-sharing quietly set up with certain subsets of governments around the globe. It was one of these channels that now sent an alert to one of the many flat-panel monitors lining the walls. The monitor's frame pulsed with a gentle amber light Dr. Lightheart had chosen to draw the watchstanders' attention.
"Signal picked up from Arirang 4A," the tech covering East Asia called out, referring to one of two South Korean spy satellites. "Picking up distortion patterns entering the atmosphere above the Bay of Korea."
"Enhance the image and confirm the North Koreans haven't launched on the South," the watch commander replied quickly and crisply.
"Negative, the pattern is a larger object above 80,000 kilos, not matching mass or speed parameters for known North Korean missiles. No sign of missile ignitions from North Korea; and - sir, it's heading in a southwest direction toward eastern China." Clacks on the keyboard sounded like automatic fire in miniature.
In the three seconds it took for the tech to bring up the object's flight path on screen, the blinking red dot representing it had gone from the middle of the Yellow Sea to Beijing.
"This is a likely incursion - "
"Get vision of that now," the watch commander cut the tech off.
"Now" turned out to be half an hour later, when the main screen showed satellite imagery of China World Trade Center Tower III. Multiple figures in People's Armed Police uniforms could be seen surrounding the complex, with six of them carrying a large, bulky object into the building.
The watch commander reached for the intercom switch.
"Yellow Alert. Lieutenant Gordon, Sergeants Hath, Lorenzen and Socarux, Lance Corporal Chen, PFC Farkas, and Recruits Ackermann and Allen-Montgomery, please report to Hangar Two in ten minutes."

"Alright everyone" said Gordon "Strap yourselves in, I'll start the briefing when we're in the air..."

"Enter," came the familiar voice of the base CO.
Murphy
I opened the door barely restraining my anger, I slammed the door behind me perhaps a bit too hard, I spoke through semi-gritted teeth, "Commander, I'd like to file a complaint about the actions of several soldiers on station." inside my head I was scanning the man trying to get a gauge on his feelings, the speech he gave the newbies was introductory, and half of them weren't new in the business of war, so he was wondering where their training had gone, and why the speech was even needed, "They seem to be unaware that if the weaponry in the armory goes missing and we can't keep track of it that eventually we'll have seven soldiers carrying ammo while only one has a rifle, the last time a situation like that happened was during Stalingrad nearly 80 years ago. I don't know about you Sir but I think we've advanced a bit since 1943, it physically causes me pain to even think that this base has Tier 1 operatives in it who can't sign a line and list a weapon model but are supposed to protect not only me and the base personnel, but humanity as a whole, I believe something has to be done about this. Sir" I had calmed significantly during my tirade and now I awaited the Commander's reply.

Leon Pier turned away from his keyboard as he tried to parse his quartermaster's complaint.
"Murphy, what specifically is the issue here? Are there incidents of soldiers just taking weapons from the armory for personal use? Please state the problem and I'll look into it, or assign someone to do so."

Murphy sighed, "The problem is that if they lose said weapon on the field and someone isn't notified, than the problem ends up snowballing until we don't have any guns anymore, and if that happens it tends to be bad. I spent the entire morning figuring out who took what, filling out a requisition sheet to get the ammo we need, as well as replacements for the equipment Lance Corporal Yurivich damaged, and when I finally finish and put up the sign out sheet, the sheet people fill out when they take something from the armory, more soldiers pour in and take more equipment and ammo from the armory and don't sign it out, which leads to me almost having an aneurism and the conversation we're having now, Sir."
