General Onodera was in a foul mood. Some joker called him and his staff and delivered a message. The odd thing was the message seemed to be nation wide. Cyber security was not his command but the rapid defense of Japan was. He contacted the Ministry of Defense for orders.

Finally he got an order to quietly order the forces into a war footing.

He called a meeting of his staff officers. At the meeting was Major General Masaki (Deputy Commander International Operations), Major General Isaki (Deputy Commander Domestic Operations), the CRF Chief of Staff (Colonel Raizo) and the two Vice Chiefs of Staff. 

Tadashi Onodera entered the room his subordinates stood up. "Gentlemen, I assume you either got that strange call or know someone who did." The General said in a manner more direct than most officers in Japan. He saluted the men and sat down. "So I am here to tell you that the orders come on down from the JSO and the Cabinet. They want us to [i][u]Quietly[/u][/i] prepare for a war footing." The General emphasized the quietly part of his statement.  "Now it will be no problems to get our soldiers here ready but we will need to contact our subordinate regiments. I believe our communication networks may have been compromised." 

Onodera took a sip of water. "Though we will communicate with our other bases I want messengers ready in case comms go down. I plan on heading to Eastern Army HQ to ensure they are ready as well."

"Do we have orders to include them?" asked General Isaki.

"We do. Also we cannot prepare if we can't communicate with other commands." 

Onodera took a breath. "Gentlemen we are dealing with an enemy that can hurt our people in ways we cannot imagine. If they can hack all the phones to send a message what else can they do?" The officers there were silent. "I'd rather prepare than not."

The room was silent. "Then I will head to At he Camp in Nerima and be back at at least.." He saw his watch was 12:45. "17:00 to 17:30 depending on traffic and meeting lengths. I will contact you if I am going to be later. While I am gone I want plans looked over."

The men nodded and saluted as the general got ready and left.
