Information Isolation.
AMALGAMA FFX75 Terminal.
A loud, abrupt sound filled the operations room. Several displays simultaneously showed a yellow-and-black message instructing the operator to switch to COMM_HALT mode. Translated from the language of codes, this meant that all information communication with the outside world that did not concern the exchange of fire data should be blocked.
This happened from time to time, especially when the enemy launched massive ballistic attacks on rear facilities.
Major Beaverdale reached for the right monitor and pressed a button at the bottom of the screen frame - under that button, the message "execute" appeared simultaneously with the instruction. He did the same on the other displays.
After the other officers of the post, Ramhurst and Jennifer dealt with their buttons, the sharp sound died down.
Beaverdale looked up at the main 75-inch screen hanging over his post and removed the satellite markers. Outwardly, the picture looked quite routine. On the map, displaying all the airspace up to the Indian Ocean, only markers remained indicating combat activity on the Eurasian Front. Beaverdale also hid them, giving a verbal order to the AI, the local artificial intelligence of the terminal, which had previously reported that it had also not detected any serious changes in the picture of potential targets. However, such an analysis did not mean anything and did not solve anything - the terminal, its firing complex was designed only to strictly execute fire missions, orders for which came from the general network, accordingly, what and when to fire was decided by staff computers thousands of miles away or the more geographically close operational complex AEX AMANDA. Beaverdale got up from his chair and headed for the exit - a heavy armored door, which was fixed in a half-open state with a homemade tripwire, resembling an adjustable wrench. - Jennifer, do you want me to make you some coffee? - Beaverdale stopped right at the door and asked Jennifer. She thanked him but declined.
