awake The CIC of DDG-68 USS The Sullivans (Arleigh Burke-Class Destroyer base line 7-1 AEGIS combat vessel) A tightly packed room with consoles and people occupying every inch, Tactical Action Officer (I guess that’s who sits at the console I was using) me, is monitoring tracks from the SPY radar.

Long shot of the DDG-68 mast. Standing on top of the mast (which is not really possible) is a coworker of mine from the office.

The missiles arch over my coworker pointing

Expository shot of DDG-68 my coworker is standing stoically on the mast pointing and looking outward. A volley of five missiles arch over his pointing figure as the wind of the traveling ship furls his cape to almost horizontal
Interior: night

The CIC of DDG-68 two shot rear perspective. A look of “what the H#ll are you on” is on my face as I think There’re no shields on a navy ship.

Though I recently had one that completely changed the premise of a book I'm planning to write.
