Finding the city of Longyearbyen not only abandoned but partially razed came as a shock to the crew of Teutonic Knights, they had expected an Axis occupation, a people to be liberated. They had attempted three courses of action in this strange mirror world, all three had met with events they could not have expected. Needless to say moral was low for the holy knights.

Then next week was spent taking stock of the city, repairing the damage of Operation Gauntlet, and fortifying their new Head Quarters. Finally the communications officers received their orders.
