[ wp ] Mexico falls to communism in the 70 's and the threat of a full scale American invasion is at its highest .

Sprinting was never Ada's strong suit. In fact, her primary school running coach had always said that she would never break a seven second 40 meter dash. Despite this, as she felt bullets whizzing past her head, her dead sprint across the dried up Rio Grande would later be clocked at a breathtaking 2.5 seconds. 
 
 Granted, bio-mechanical augmentations provided for a somewhat unfair advantage in Ada's favor, but who's keeping track when half of the world was locked in a perpetual state of turmoil? 
 
 After the Pan Asian Coalition had begun its conquest of Europe in the early sixties following the Korean nuclear catastrophe, it had turned it burning gaze towards the rising sun, settling upon North America. Ada's mission had been to reconoiter the newly reinforced border on the Mexican side, but had met resistance during her exfil when a little boy had taken interest in a shiny servo poking through her tattered cloak. Bolstered by PAC soldiers, the Mexican forces had quickly discovered her presence after the slip-up, and had outed her as a National Security Force agent. 
 
 As she completed her final bound up the charred banks of the Rio Grande, automated defences hidden in the sand whirred to life, spraying a fusillade of fire and brimstone in the direction of the PAC gunfire, effectively silencing it. Once safely behind NSF lines, Ada called up comms on her HUD. 
 
 `` Chief, we've got an issue.'' 
 
 `` You've spoiled my dinner, commander. You'd better have a damn good reason,'' came the gruff reply. 
 
 In lieu of a verbal joust, Ada elected to go for the `` shock and awe'' approach. Without saying a word, she pulled up a short video taken during her time across the border and forwarded it on to her commanding officer. 
 
 Over the next several minutes, Ada could make out several audible sharp breath intakes as her CO witnessed what she had seen. Immediately after the video had ended, the connection snapped off without any kind of farewell. 
 
 It was going to be a painfully long winter.
