Red Horizon Leg 7

Leg 7 — LRSB → LHSM Sibiu, Romania → Hévíz–Balaton, Hungary

An emergency retreat corridor flight evacuating surviving command staff westward toward secondary defensive sectors.

Crossing West

By afternoon, entire sectors had disappeared from communications entirely.

Some bases evacuated before capture.

Others simply stopped transmitting.

Your aircraft departed Sibiu carrying surviving coordination officers, encrypted drives, and casualty reports westward toward Hungary while the eastern horizon burned beneath heavy cloud layers.

The war had accelerated beyond anyone’s predictions.

Crossing into Hungarian airspace brought no relief. Military patrols intensified while emergency broadcasts instructed civilians to avoid major transportation corridors completely.

At Hévíz–Balaton, temporary field hospitals filled hotel complexes surrounding the airport while military engineers fortified fuel depots and radar stations nearby.

Everyone expected the fighting to continue spreading.

The only question remaining was how far.
