USS Oriskany,
Washington Naval Yard
October 23rd 2077
Special Agent William Forrestal and Lieutenant Stephen O'Sullivan walked towards one of the many TV-1 Shooting Star's which now occupied the flight deck of the USS Oriskany. As they approached the fighter, Forrestal noticed that two master-at-arms with military working dogs were going over every inch of the fighter's fuselage. Ever since the Oriskany's special agent afloat had sent that damnable telex about possibly Red saboteurs onboard, every inch of the ship, including every fighter she carried was required to be searched. Just as Forrestal and O'Sullivan reached the nosecone of the Shooting Star, they were suddenly startled by an authoritative yell of a marine from the ship's security detachment. "Sir, stand fast, and turn around slowly or you will be shot". Forrestal and O'Sullivan turned around to face the marine who now had his weapon trained on them. "Just calm down marine, I'm Special Agent Forrestal from the Office of Naval Intelligence and this is Agent O'Sullivan. We have been sent here from National Maritime Intelligence Center to evaluate the threat of potential Chinese saboteurs against naval assets here at the Washington Naval Yard". As the marine lowered his weapon, both Forrestal and O'Sullivan in rapid succession flashed their ONI badges. "Thank you sirs", the marine barked out loudly. As quickly as he had intercepted them, the marine had returned to his sentry post. Forrestal and O'Sullivan now turned towards the master-at-arms who were busy inspecting the aircraft. "Petty Officer"! "Sir?" Forrestal and O'Sullivan again quickly flashed their ONI badges. "I'm Special Agent Forrestal, and this is Agent O'Sullivan. Have you located any signs of tampering or sabotage to this aircraft?". "No Sir". "Thank you Petty Officer, that will be all, you may continue with your search". "So Steve, how many has that been today?" "Too many if you ask me. Personally I think this whole Chinese Saboteur thing, is nothing but a bunch of a Red propaganda to get us all twisted into knots." "Well whatever the case may be; let's get this over with, the sooner we're done wasting tax payer's dollars, the sooner we can go home".
