Your multi-purpose XR2 has recently performed a landing at CCAFS instead of Vandenberg due to weather concerns. She has been urgently re-fitted with special multi-spectral reconnaissance equipment, including a synthesized aperture radar, and given a launch azimuth waiver by the POTUS. The cause of that is an impending crisis in negotiations with the Atlantic-Pacific League and the inability of our conventional spy satellites and other national-level assets to provide adequate coverage of the League's installations in southern Chad, near Kerguelen Island, in eastern Nepal and at their leased base at Ascension Island.
