Background

During the events of Airwolf: Season 3 Episode 11 Where Have All the Children Gone? played by Ben Hammer
Sabrina Cooke stops the bus in front of Aeroresearch International and introduces the children to Dr. Watkins. Dr. Watkins takes them on a tour and shows them the main console for the Andromeda Five Series. He introduces them to Female Technician and as he is describing Project Slingshot, Cotton starts to read off of its specifications from memory. Sabrina yells "now" and the children attack the guards and Hal and Harvey grab Dr. Watkins. Sabrina takes over the control console and Fargo starts to tell Dr. Watkins his plans. Fargo orders Dr. Watkins to deliver 20 million dollars to a Swiss bank account or he will use the drone aircraft to launch a nuclear missile against Moscow in fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes elapse and after Dr. Watkins refuses to pay, Sabrina starts the launch sequence. Cotton tells Sabrina that the missile wasn't supposed to launch and Fargo told them everything was for a bargaining chip. Hal says the missile will start a war and Gail says she doesn't want to die. Hal tells Sabrina Fargo lied to them and she tells him to shut up. The other children start to rebel including Cotton and Harvey points a gun at Sabrina and tells her to stop the launch, but she refuses. Sabrina changes the trajectory of the missile to hit Washington, D.C. When Fargo sees that Sabrina changed the path of the missile he tells her to destroy the missile, but she says Americans destroying their own capital will make more of a statement. Female Technician tells everyone the time of impact is nine minutes and thirty seconds. Stringfellow Hawke and Dominic are able to catch up with the missile cluster in time and shoot them down. Everyone at Aeroresearch celebrate and Sabrina is taken away by security.
