At Captain Blaylock's headquarters in Fort Myers, Major Alderman heard first-hand accounts of the aftermath of the Caloosahatchee massacre. Alderman was welcomed as a savior. He did not need additional inspiration, however. Indeed, what he did need was freedom from such distractions. Blaylock understood this and immediately set out to focus on the task at hand. They reviewed coordinates of targets and well suited initial shelling locations. They would deploy to Pine Island and Punta Rassa simultaneously at 0330 - just enough time to set up and program the launch codes into the computers to match the global positioning satellite data from the launch point to the coordinates on the map. At that hour there would be enough hesitation, once they were noticed, to debate whether to wake the commanding officers. After all, what's the big deal about a few trucks? Maybe they were moving vans coming back to pick up the dead soldiers' possessions. The sides on the trucks would not be dropped until moments before the first missile launches. The tops were hard shell, but split down the middle to fold over with each side, like a big transformer toy. They would then be detached completely for mobilization purposes. Those first missiles would be coordinated to take out their eyes and ears at the Sundial headquarters. Oh, yes. We know about your geosynchronous satellite. It will still be there. You just won't be able to see its transmissions. Additional strikes would be directed at barracks and outposts, and especially at the cluster of tanks in the motor pool. This circus could be over before it begins. Captain Blaylock was trying hard not to act as giddy as he was feeling.
