Nik was amongst Florence on recieving instructions from the director on what to do, wherein he was at the manor home heading for the rooftop where Airwolf was, he switched on the appropriate switches as the chopper rotors began moving slowly, gradually they went faster and faster.
At that point, he raised the chopper up into the air flying off heading to the far east area where it was known as Afghanistan, yeah it would probably be considered a long and dangerous flight there, nonetheless necessary as it was a scouting mission Archangel had him flying. The only doubt in his mind being if there was more to it then met the eye.
He trusted his director that it was the right thing to do regardless of the circumstances, the flight proved alittle long but necessary making his way across, while inside the chopper the face of his beloved was in the cockpit as the chopper flew along there not sure of what was to come, yet knew perhaps the danger always seemed to lurk around wherever one found it.

In flight across the land going passed eastern Europe, at one point Nik had to call ahead for a mid-air refueling tanker to meet him half-way near the Black Sea before he could complete the journey to Afghanistan which seemed to take afew days or so. He could've used turbos to make it their quicker but didn't wanna breach any other countrys air space, so he flew low to keep out of the reach of their radar scanners.
Nik was silent during the whole flight when he would reach what appeared to be very mountaineous terrian and something, he checked the map while in low level flying but kept away from the mountains not to run into them while he went, yeah this would be the place close to the border of Pakistan there also but would stay away from that area altogether.
Then once he would get to the designated place that the coordinates that were placed into Airwolf's on-board computer, Nik found there looked to be lights on or something of an encampment, or make-shift air field for ordinance or transport in and out of Afghanistan, according to SISMI intelligence sources indicating. Thus, he switched on the infra-red camera and went to take pictures of the sites careful to steer clear of anybody that had a shoulder-fire missle on them ready to shoot him down if spotted. For the moment, he felt safe but it seemed too easy, he expected more of a resistance to him just coming in here and being able to take pictures.
As he passed by, a missle suddenly flew out from somewhere among the mountains as the computer started blinking frantically indicating a missle was heading right for his chopper. Nik quickly took evasive action punching his turbo thruster blasting ahead going in a zig-zag path trying to evade the missle, when he found he couldn't he had seconds as he would pop a sunburst counter-measure as it flashed out the back of the chopper as when the missle hit it, it blew up using it as a decoy measure.
A second and third missle was fired off as Nik attempted to try and continue to battle through as best he could moving to drop behind a mountain as the missle chased him down slamming into the mountain nearby. The other one fired had went to chase him down as well as he had nearly ten seconds to impact, he'd cut the turbos off, cutting everything off to where he was less of a heat source where the missle would seemingly having blasted him out of the sky. Yet, somehow in the chaos the terrorists wherever they were thought he might be dead, well not quite as Nik was in hiding behind a second mountain range as he'd slowly raise up finding the terrorists all there as he'd move into attack formation.
Some of them seemed to panic not expecting that as he flew forward firing off the chain gun rounds as it blasted several jeeps and trucks with fifty-caliber machine guns were on top of it as they'd be firing. Nik put a hellfire missle on both those trucks and jeeps as he would do several passes, the howling of his chopper flew by when he did. The screaming orders from the terrorists continued with the blaze of gun fire as Nik continued to battle the terrorists heading to the encampment to decimate the area of them.
The operation had just turned from cold to hot, yet he was expecting such a fight like this, several more hellfire missles thrown at the encampment and terrorists shooting at his chopper from the ground with automatic fire. For all intensive purposes this was all out war to him battling hard as many of the terrorists died from chain gun fire being hit, trucks blown up and command towers in a hail of explosions when he fired off some of the nuclear-tipped shrike missles, devastation and carnage everywhere as he flew by leaving nothing for any other terrorist reinforcements to venture into for the moment.
The destruction left in the wake of the ensuing battle would probably cause an uproar with some of the terrorist groups there, yet Nik wasn't worried about that devastating the area with the awesome power that was Airwolf, when he was done he'd leave the base a smoking heap and fires burning from the encampment and it's command post. In turn, he radioed back to Archangel with the news from his on-board phone there, it rang it's little bells and whistles it did and Archangel picked it up saying.
[Archangel] "Hawke, update on your position."
Nik kept low as he did leaving the area bound back for Italy again as he would answer in response.
"Yeah, it turns out things got alittle messy, though it's ok the package is coming home along with afew other things Archangel."
Archangel looked abit confused, though worried something went wrong.
[Archangel] "What the hell happened? What you mean messy?"
Nik replied answering both questions.
"We'll discuss that later, where can I meet you? The lady and I are headed home for supper, put a mid-air tanker ahead of me so I can refuel again. I don't wanna be late."
And cut off the radio feed, Archangel swore abit under his breath mutter, clearly something happened despite the fact the operation was a success it didn't come without collateral damage on top of that. Nonetheless, he'd make an effort to call the tanker into meet him half-way at the Black Sea again towards the rendevous point there. In the meantime, Nik was once more silent heading home, the operation a success having gotten the pictures as the mission pertained. However, there was collateral damage done as terrorist forces in Afghanistan had been in that part of the area funneling armorments and ordinance from various places along with alliance of other terrorists groups that were a danger to Italian soldiers sent there along with the rest of the coalition forces, combating terrorism.
From here, it looked to be that bad things would come of it on the political front anyway, Nik would have to deal with that bridge when he crossed it when he got back. He'd be alright, thus he'd fly back home heading for the Black Sea to meet up with the fueling tanker.

There having made rendevous with the tanker at the Black Sea, Nik then made his way off to fly back towards southwest to Italy once more to return to base in Florence for debriefing from the person in charge of field ops known as code-name [Archangel], his real name not used for security purposes as Nik flew his chopper back as in no time at all, he'd reach the headquarters of the SISMI branch touching down on the helipad slowly and gently shutting off his engine, the scene slowly fades and then onto the debriefing room with Archangel present with someone to lead as recording of the incident.[Archangel] "So, Hawke it would seem that there's more than just the mission you were suppose to do in taking pictures..."And flipped the image of the guard towers destroyed along with missle batteries demolished and a host of other things as Archangel continued in saying, while Nik looked on. [Archangel] "What the hell happened?! Honestly, several guard towers destroyed along with SAM missle sites blasted, several terrorists shot up! Hawke, you were suppose to simply take pictures of the targets and relay back here. We'd do the rest, it wasn't a covert operation! At least, not yet."Nik then said to him in reply, "Yeah, and what would you have done? Going into a place like that? Not exactly wine and roses Archangel. Besides, I didn't go in with guns blazing until the terrorists fired first. You were the one that sent me on the mission!"Archangel replied in saying to him, "Yes, I did with authorization from the director of the SISMI organization, it did threaten the integrity of your country and mine, as well as a host of other countries in that area. Though, the heated exchange put the Afghani president in rather a heated exchange with ours and threatens to undermine relations between our countries now."Nik looked to Archangel as if he was out of his mind replying, "Are you whacked?! Did you think I give a damn about politics, Archangel?! I do the job that is given, you didn't necessarily say on how to do it. And anyway, it's done. You got your pictures you wanted, whatever else happened it's collateral damage. Afghanistan is beacon for drug lords out for easy money, there's no politics in that!"Archangel listened a moment carefully, well one had to admit Hawke had a point there, though he was in the business of politics as well as the director of field operations. Archangel paced a moment trying gather his thoughts then said, "Alright, alright Hawke, you have a point there. However, I deal with field operations as much as politics. It's very difficult to balance the two of them, when I said to take pictures I meant just them. I can't really excuse the fact whatever else happened didn't be collateral damage, unfortunately. Yet, this is a major incident that will cause instability between American and Afghani relations in the fight against terrorism."Nik sighs once more and then says to Archangel, "Just you deal with politics, I'll handle the field operations Archangel. Anything else, I suggest you send it to the SISMI director. I'm not dealing with the Americans on this further." And with that, he stood and headed on out as the debriefing was over. Archangel looked in dismay though alittle upset as the exchange between his operative and himself didn't go so well. Nonetheless, wasn't mad about the idea the pictures he had taken did come in. So, that was a good thing anyway. SISMI branch in Florence, where Nik underwent debriefing of the mission in question.
