When AWACS reported that the high flying bomber was carrying a nuclear device, Elizabeth didn't hesitate to retreat. As she initiated the Draken's afterburners, she saw other aircraft doing the same, both friendly and enemy aircraft were running, all fearing a similar death. 

As she sped off, she noticed the familiar smoke trail of the A7, she flew by over head, and briefly spoke "Don't go down, I need you to return the favor" She said, mentioning the the earlier business with the TU-22Ms. 

Once she was some distance from the A7, she started thinking. Something about this whole engagement didn't seem right. [i]If a nation wanted a reason to go to war, then why would they drop a nuke on another city? Would the retaliation really be worth while?[/i] So many thoughts coursed throughout her head, trying to figure out the reasons to drop a nuclear device at the beginning of an obvious war.
