Part I

Sun, Feb 15, 1987

As the Police in Chicago, which is the Capital City of the Central Administrative District, are about to raid an unauthorized stage-play, KGB Colonel Andrei Desinov steps in and discovers his American girlfriend Kimberly Ballard is starring in it. The raid gets called off and he confronts her. In Milford , Nebraska, the citizenry which includes the Milford Family and the County Administrator, Peter Bradford, is trying to adjust to the Soviet occupation. Devon Milford, a 1988 Presidential candidate who fought against the Soviet occupation, gets released from a Texas Detention Center to home exile in Milford. During a trip to the Washington National Administrative area, Andrei is told by his commander, General Paetya Samanov, of the plan to break the United States up into several separate countries in order to destroy any patriotism it's citizens still have for the U.S. During a Party celebration in Omaha, Andrei announces the five men who have been nominated to the post of Governor-General of the Central Administrative Area, one of which is Peter. After arriving in Milford, Devon starts making his adjustment living in a town under occupation after spending six years in his prison camp. He finds some animosity towards him for spending more of his efforts prior to being imprisoned to save American society than he spent trying to save his families land which is being overtaken by squatters as the Soviets don't recognize his families right to own land.

Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs is the leader of a team of special agents belonging to the NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) Major Case Response Team. Gibbs, a former Marine, is a tough investigator and a highly skilled interrogator who relies on his gut instinct as much as evidence.

The team also consists of probationary field agent Eleanor Bishop, a former NSA agent, as well as Junior Field Agent Timothy McGee, a computer-savvy agent often mocked by DiNozzo. Assisting them are Abby Sciuto, the energetic-but-Goth lab tech who is like a daughter to Gibbs, and Dr. Donald Mallard, nicknamed Ducky, the eccentric medical examiner full of unusual stories. This team of elite agents, based in Washington, D.C., solve criminal cases involving Marine and Navy personnel and their families, sometimes traveling the United States - or the world - to do it.
