Inside the command vehicle, the sharp radar alert sounded piercingly just at the moment the Kh-23 missile engine ignited!
The Death Lock's highest-level screech was like an ice pick stabbing into everyone's eardrum and heart.

A staff officer screamed in utter despair, the sound buzzing around in the metal can.
Everything was too late.
Time seemed infinitely stretched, yet also frozen in an instant.
Lumar's brigadier turned around violently, and the face that was accustomed to controlling everything was revealed clearly for the first time in the eerie blue screen light, showing ultimate and incomprehensible shock and bewilderment.
