Episode 3: Factory No 9

By Leigh Barker

The Orpheus Directive: Season 1, Episode 3. Factory Number 9
With the whole North Korean army converging on the factory, Ethan and his team must find and destroy the X-37B Orbiter. If they fail it will be used to deliver Russian SS-18 ICBM nukes to New York and Washington in under an hour.

There will be no time for defence.

Factory Number Nine is huge, ancient and strewn with rusting junk. They will need a month to search it properly. They have twenty minutes, and then only if Loco and Smokey can slow the enemy at the gates. One sniper and a spotter against 200 heavily armed troops. It can end only one way.

It is Ethan’s job to keep him men alive, a job he has done for more years than he cares to remember, in some of the most dangerous places on earth.

This time the odds are just too high, and to cost of failure unimaginable.

But he will try. He is a US Marine Master Sergeant, and dying to save his country comes with the job.
