Day 6

The CIA and Ryan have now concluded that the only plausible reason for the mass scrambling of the Soviet vessels is that they are now after The Red October. They know this because intelligence reported that the Commanding Admiral of the Russian navy received a letter from Ramius, and not two hours after that he issued the mass scrambling of the vessels. Ryan then briefs all the heads of the military and the president on the current situation in a secret room in the white house. It took a great deal of persuasion but finally they all agreed that Ramius and The Red October were defecting to the United States. They soon begin to organize a plan to either be ready to welcome in their guests or to take the submarine by force. The Red October is an amazing piece of technology and the Americans are chomping at the bit to get it. Little do the Americans know that Ramius doesn't plan on being detected by the Russians or the Americans.
