Being about to go on a mission makes Tanya restless.

It is a good thing Milliways came to her rescue, and an even better thing she does not need to wear the silly be-skirted formal uniform anymore.

In a few days she will depart for enemy territory in a dangerous gamble to turn the tides of war. Right now she is relaxing with hot cocoa.

Commando by the fireplace, in her usual half-uniform.

"THEY DESTROYED..." Ben yells before catching himself. "I want a piece of 'em."

Yeah it's silly, it's not even his New York but Liberty Island? That's just low.

"You can have one, and a large one: I will need all the help possible to take down Romanov's missiles. If we do that, we can turn the tide of the war, with Germany, France and England pressing from the west and Korea and Japan pushing from the east, Romanov will have to stop sending reinforcements to America."

"How many sites are we talkin' about?" Ben asks getting to business. He does remember the beer though and waves over a wait-rat to order. "Can I have a pitcher of Anchor Steam's Harvest Ale and what ever the lady would like."

"We have three targets: first, the power central in the region, to create a diversion. Then, the Battle Lab where we can get locations and access codes. And finally, the command bunker itself. It is a one-night operation, that leads us to invading the Missile Command and destroying all their launch and guidance systems. There will be other teams in other areas cutting down comms to prevent the backup sites from working."

"If we can pull it off, we can cripple Romanov's nuclear capability in Europe: without his nukes, he can not threaten the countries who want to help us."

"We can pull it off," Ben replies confidently and takes a sip of his ale. "One thing though, I know it's war and all but I would prefer a mission which didn't guarantee I have ta kill people. It might seem silly but with my powers, I can't cross that line. It'd be to easy to keep doin' it."

Ben look up a little shyly worried he might be coming off as a wuss.

"Oh, don't worry: there will be plenty of things for you to break down without killing anyone. But you might need to give some Reds a very bad headache." No worries, Tanya knows some people do not see killing in war in the same way she does.

"I think I can knock a few heads," Ben replies relieved. "Do you have any idea of when you'll need me? And do you want me to try and disguise myself or do you wanna keep the legend goin'."

Ben's not proud of the fact he's a urban myth in certain parts of the Germany of her world. Nope, not at all.

"I guess we can get you in a full body suit and mask... make the Reds think you are wearing some kind of powered armor?" Tanya smiles. "I will be shipping off to eastern Europe in a couple days. Once there, I will look for a Door."
