Brigadier authorizes RAF strike

The grid reference coordinates are the linchpin of this event—a tangible piece of intelligence that transforms abstract threat into actionable target data. The Brigadier treats them with reverence, scribbling them down as if they were a holy text, for they hold the key to survival. Without these coordinates, the RAF strike would be blind; with them, it becomes a surgical instrument of destruction. The coordinates symbolize the shift from reactive defense to proactive warfare, and their precision reflects the Brigadier’s insistence on minimizing civilian casualties even in the heat of battle.

Before: Unknown to UNIT; the Brigadier is in the process of acquiring them via an ongoing phone call. They exist as unverified intel, a critical gap in the operational picture.

After: Confirmed and recorded by the Brigadier. They are now the foundation for the RAF strike order, transitioning from raw data to a weaponized directive. The coordinates are no longer abstract—they are a death sentence for the Master’s daffodils and, potentially, anyone in the strike zone.
