Royal Air Force
Description
Fitzwallace's voice cuts through Situation Room haze: RAF clutches a forsaken Bermuda runway, mere grass scarred into flightpath, primed for Shareef's Gulfstream to feign mechanical doom. Three personnel alone pierce the veil, their ignorance fortifying U.S. kill-scheme secrecy as Bartlet's pen-recorder chills on the table. Unwitting cogs in assassination gears, RAF's remote outpost bends to Pentagon calculus, exposing alliance faultlines where British soil fuels American moral rupture—Leo’s unease coils, Bartlet recoils, plot hurtles forward.
