"Who the hell is this?"

"Class-1 cadet Vershaft, Sir!"

"You aren't authorized to be on the unit command frequency, cadet!"

"I understand sir, but we have a situation!"

Looks like this situation at Gmelin got a bit hot for Vershaft. Is it an active hostile invasion or just a really, really good simulation? Probably the latter, but there's no reason he'd be told that offhand. Best way to prepare him for real military service, after all.

Don't worry, he gets out of it in one piece.
