If you were a radar operator working in the South Korean armed forces, you might notice a small object flying at subsonic speed along the South Korean coast. If you're even luckier, you get to witness with your own eyes a red-haired young man sea-skimming the ocean like a missile.

The young man knows where he is at all times. He knows this because he knows where he isn't. By subtracting where he is from where he isn't, or where he isn't from where he is (whichever is greater), he obtains a difference, or deviation. The brain uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the young man from a position where he is to a position where he isn't. And arriving at a position where he wasn't, he now is. Consequently, the position where he is, is now the position that he wasn't. And it follows that the position that he was, is now the position that he isn't. 

In the event that the position that he is in is not the position that he wasn't, the brain has acquired a variation. The variation being the difference between where the young man is, and where he wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GPS. 

However, the young man must also know where he was. The young man's guidance brain scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the young man has obtained, he is not sure just where he is. However, he is sure where he isn't, within reason, and he knows where he was.

He now subtracts where he should be from where he wasn't, or vice versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where he shouldn't be, and where he was, he is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

Now, how am I going to infiltrate the DMZ and North Korea's border? That border is one of the most heavily fortified stretches of land in the world. I would instantly pop up on both of their radars regardless of what I do. I suppose that is what to be expected from the Hermit Kingdom.

The young man racks his brain for a way to enter the Hermit Kingdom without causing a massive accident. The last thing he wants to do is cause a nuclear apocalypse in this world. To make things worse, the young man heard the sounds of fighter jets approaching his position as he was busy with his thoughts.

As expected from a country who border with the Hermit Kingdom, their reaction speed is top-notch. I would be shitting my pants if I were any other adversary, but I'm Igo Heita. I'm built wrong.

Approaching the border, the young man quickly turns right toward the east. It doesn't matter if he breaks through the border. It'll be an international disaster if the jets go with him. That's why the young man turns east so the jets will follow him away from the border.

I wonder what they're thinking right now. Whatever it is, I hope they are prepared for this.

With the fighter jets hot on his tail, the young man casually extinguished his flame wings and dived into the sea. Surprisingly, for no one, a human body is pretty hydrodynamic once you tuck in all of your limbs. The young man's speed quickly reduces to zero once his entire body is inside the sea. The jet fighters above him quickly overshot his position since they were still flying at subsonic speed.

Now that they're gone.

The young man reoriented himself to face the west before exhausting jet-like flames from his palms and soles. The young man's body slowly gained speed underwater before he burst through the ocean's surface once he was confident in his speed. He quickly let out his flame wings again to help him with lift.

Thankfully, the Northern counterpart of the Korean Peninsula isn't as rich as the Southern one, so the young man can easily sneak into the territory without much of a hindrance. He knew they had detected him, so the young man quickly dove into the trees and disappeared from the sky.

Time to find out where the nuclear launching facility is. The best source of information about that could be found where all the military leaks are gathered, the War Thunder forum.

A nuclear power plant uses reactor-grade uranium, which is enriched uranium with a concentration of U-235 atoms of 3% to 5%. To use uranium as a weapon, one needs to enrich the uranium even further until the concentration of U-235 is 90% of the overall atoms. The young man could steal the reactor-grade uranium from one of Japan's nuclear power plants, but why settle for less when you can settle for more?

Time to pull off the world's greatest heist.
