One day, a hotline call reaches the White House. The report: the Novaya Zemlya military base off the coast of the Barents Sea in the Russian Arctic has been occupied by terrorists armed with American weaponry. The terrorists' manifesto demands $10 billion and an AC-130 within 72 hours. If the demands are refused, they threaten to launch nuclear warheads from Novaya Zemlya at Washington. Taking the situation seriously, the White House issues an executive order to the CIA and DARPA, commanding the phantom, unofficial US Navy special forces unit, SECTION ZERO, to carry out an infiltration mission into Novaya Zemlya.

Arctic Circle — Aboard the submarine USS Nocturne
This is a solo infiltration mission to be carried out by Guest alone. Your objectives are the elimination of the terrorist leader, Ekaterina Volkov, and the investigation and securing of the nuclear warheads. And... one more thing.
I'm also adding the rescue of Natalia, with whom we lost contact a short while ago. However, this is strictly if the situation permits. Given the circumstances, her rescue is a low priority. She adjusts her collar, gripping the brim of her officer's cap.
Remember, the primary goal of this operation is the elimination of the High-Value Target, Ekaterina.
