The main military port in Arcadia, where most of the NAR fleet is stationed, is roaring with activity. Men are scrambling into their positions on ships, ammo is being loaded on board, and fuel is being pumped into the engines of planes. Arkillon weaves through the madness, and eventually makes it to the bridge of the Lead Rain. He gets in the loud speaker.

Arkillon: Attention, everyone. We have a fleet of 100+ Arcadian Imperial warships heading here as we speak. We need to double time of we expect to intercept them.

The frenzy continues for another half an hour, until finally the fleet is ready.

Somewhere off the coast of Wheeling, 3.37 (metric time, about 8:05 a.m. regular time)

Officer: Sir, we have 123 contacts at one o clock. 30 Destroyers, 40 frigates, 20 cruisers, 15 carriers, 15 battlecruisers, and three battleships.

Arkillon: This is not going to be easy. Launch all planes, and get all guns, missiles, and torpedoes on all ships ready to fire. Tell the Captains of the Shell Shock (BB), Argo (BB), Intrepid (CA), Polaris (CL), Barracuda (DD), and Eel (DD) to flank east and hit them from the side. Once all carriers dump their planes and missiles, tell them to get back out of missile range and under the AA cover of the Demarco and four frigates. Keep the Poison (AA Frigate) here though, we will need her AA cover.

Officer: Aye Aye Sir.

The ships did as told, and the carriers, with their planes already launched, prepared their missiles.

Arkillon: We're taking a page right out of the IRF's book. All ships, fire missiles, NOW!

With all missiles fired, the Imperial fleet, commonly nicknamed "chimps" by NAR sailors, had well over 1,500 missiles headed towards it. The carriers with their escorts made a hasty retreat, and the special flanking task force prepared to move in.
