Gordon stormed through the office doors.
"What is the meaning of this General!?! Why are we being deployed back to the Netherworld to do battle with demons? This was supposed to be my vacation!"
General Carter turned, the sun shining in from the window lit up his magnificent figure....
"They've taken her Gordon, they have taken my Jennifer."
Carter stepped away from the window, sitting down in the chair before his massive, magnificently crafted desk. "And it's your job as a Defender of Earth to get her back. After all, you named her as one." Carter carefully eyed Gordon before continuing on with his orders, "Hmph... And in exchange, since it IS your vacation time, I will grant you, all of you, vacation time equal to however many days you spend getting her back."
A whirring sound filled the room as Carter pulled a switch beneath his desk, powerup up the TacCom screen behind him, which came to life with data from all over the world streaming down it. Carter pressed another button, causing the cascade to stop and pull up a specific instance.
"As you can see from this excerpt, taken two days ago at 19:17, a dimensional rip was detected off the coast from Alaria. As you... hmph... probably can't tell, Netherworld energy signatures were detected in the rip, and the strength of it implies that it was done deliberately." Carter leaned back in his chair and paused for a moment, letting the data sink into Gordon's head.
"... I'm guessing, no, knowing that he's not too bright. Hmph, I hate giving direct orders twice.
"... This means, of course, that you are to start your search in the Netherworld. The culprit, though we lack any specific data, appears to be some kind of ... shark."
