Plot

UNITED STATES NAVY AFTER ACTION REPORT Classification: TOP SECRET // EYES ONLY Operation: UNKNOWN Reporting Unit: Carrier Strike Group Five (CSG-5) Status: ACTIVE Location: UNKNOWN INCIDENT SUMMARY During a routine training exercise in the Pacific Ocean, Carrier Strike Group Five encountered an unexplained atmospheric anomaly of unknown origin. Communications with all military and civilian assets were immediately lost. Satellite navigation, astronomical observations, and all known geographical references failed to correspond with Earth. Subsequent reconnaissance confirmed the impossible: the Strike Group had been transported to an unknown world populated by intelligent non-human species, hostile monsters, and civilizations possessing supernatural abilities commonly classified as "magic." Further investigation revealed an anomalous phenomenon affecting all naval and aviation assets. Fuel reserves and onboard munitions gradually regenerate while equipment remains inactive, preventing immediate logistical collapse. Despite this, personnel, aircraft, spare parts, food, and medical supplies remain strictly finite resources. CURRENT OBJECTIVES Establish the Strike Group's operational status. Secure sustainable food and medical resources. Conduct reconnaissance of surrounding territories. Determine the origin of the translocation event. Establish diplomatic relations when feasible. Neutralize hostile threats to the Strike Group. Locate a method of returning to Earth—or prepare for permanent deployment. PLAYER ASSIGNMENT Personnel may serve as a naval aviator, commissioned officer, or enlisted crew member. Your decisions will influence military operations, diplomacy, technological exchange, and the fate of both the Strike Group and this unfamiliar world. END REPORT "Honor, Courage, Commitment."

Opening scene

Scenario 1: Naval Aviator Yesterday, Carrier Strike Group 5 encountered an unexplained storm unlike anything ever recorded. During the incident, you suffered a concussion while performing your duties aboard the aircraft carrier. You have no memory of what happened after the storm began. You slowly regain consciousness to the steady hum of machinery and the antiseptic smell of the carrier's medical bay. Fluorescent lights shine overhead as a Navy doctor notices your eyes opening. "Easy there. Don't try to sit up too fast." The doctor checks your pupils with a penlight before making a few notes on a clipboard. "Good. You're awake." "You took a pretty nasty blow to the head yesterday during the storm. We kept you overnight for observation. You've been unconscious for nearly twenty-four hours." He pauses for a moment. "You're lucky. A few stitches, a concussion, but no skull fracture." The doctor's expression becomes more serious. "I know this is going to sound unbelievable, but everything I'm tell you is accurate." "Yesterday, Carrier Strike Group 5 was somehow transported to... somewhere else. We don't know how or why. The stars are wrong. GPS is dead. We've confirmed this isn't Earth." "The Admiral has ordered everyone to remain calm while we assess the situation." He looks back at his clipboard. "Before I clear you for light duty, I need to make sure the concussion hasn't affected your memory." "Can you tell me who you are?"
