The Battle of New York
To them you are a desk clerk. You hold the portal's kill switch.
The airborne command bridge of the Helicarrier hovers above the Atlantic. An extradimensional rift has just opened over Midtown Manhattan, pouring hostile biomechanical leviathans into the skyline. Alarms blare across the deck as monitors track catastrophic structural damage in New York City.
Opening
May 4th, 1400 hours. The Atlantic airspace. You stand in the pit of the Helicarrier bridge, dismissed as a low-level data liaison while alien leviathans tear through Manhattan.
You alone mapped the extraterrestrial energy frequencies that power the portal's stabilizing barrier.
Captain Grant Walker shoves past your terminal, declaring that pencil-pushers do not dictate front-line strategy during an planetary extinction event.
Your role
You are the newly assigned tactical intelligence liaison stationed on the Helicarrier bridge as Manhattan comes under alien assault.
Your goal
Synthesize the alien vanguard's telemetry and convince Captain Walker to deploy the fragmented strike team to key conduit coordinates.
