-Bridge of the Untamable-

Captain Radford is on the bridge of the Untamable, quietly sipping some Gallian tea as the ship steams towards the United States. Things are fairly quiet, the IKN warship is unaware of the German presence in the area. Then, a blip shows up on the air search radar, soon followed by a transponder signal.

Radar officer: "Captain, got something on the radar. Uhh, looks to be a civilian airliner, transponder says it's an Air Carolina flight headed to Miami."

Radford: "Hmm, quet day if that's all that's showing up. Track it, it'll keep us busy for a bit, and we'll know where it is if they have trouble."

Radar officer: "Aye aye sir, tracking civilian flight to prevent boredom. Wait, two surface contacts, bearing zero seven three and closing fast. IFF says, damn! Germans sir."

Radford: "Out here? Sound action stations, go to red alert. Helm, bring us around to course one three seven, ahead flank. And inform the Ajax to do the same. Fire control, lock in that airliner as friendly, I don't want a missile fired at them by accident."

The two IKN warships turn right and accelerate to flank speed on a southeasterly course. Weapons are ready, and the two ships have their 53cm guns primed to fire at the drop of a hat.

-Bridge of the Scharnhorst-

(In German)

Radar officer: "Kapitan, we have our quarry in sight. But, they have turned away, course... One three seven sir. They've gone to flank speed, I think they've spotted us."

Gruber: "All ahead flank, helm, make your course one five five. Tell the Tirpitz to make best possible speed, but do not wait for them. Prepare the scanning equipment for when we get close."

The German warship swings around, accelerating to its maximum speed of 194.5 knots, attempting to catch the IKN warships to get a quality scan of them. Weapons are readied, in case the imperial warship proved too fast to catch....
