quote
Admiral Bates: Mr. Stranix... this is Admiral Bates speaking. Would you please tell us why the hell you're doing this?
William Strannix: Hi, Admiral. Six months ago, your boy Tom Breaker cancelled operation 'Cleopatra', and shortly thereafter two young men from Langley showed up in Miami tried to cancel me along with it.
Terrorists have taken over a Navy warship. They control the whole thing, including its cruise missiles and its nuclear warheads. Their plan is going by the numbers. They have only overlooked one thing: the cook.
