Operation: Last Chance
With the Psychic Beacon destroyed and the President safe at an undisclosed location, top military brass for the US forces have relocated themselves to Canada to lessen the possibility of another subversion attempt by the Reds. To make matters worse, the Soviets have managed to force their way up to Illinois from Louisiana. Thankfully, Canada is on our side or else the United States of America would be split in two! They've also managed to take Virginia and Nevada. If we don't get our act together, and soon, we may not have the strength to repel them after all is said and done.
Chicago, the heart of industry in America! (Maybe)
Location: Chicago, Illinois, USA
Objective: Destroy the Psychic Amplifier before it can be activated!
Briefing: Soviet forces continue to rampage across America. Our agents have discovered a large Psychic Amplifier in Chicago. If activated, this device will allow the Soviets to mind control all of North America.

Author's Note: Required to build naval units, they also serve as the repair point for them. Unlocks ships.
Aftermath:
Faster than Par Time: "The tragic loss of Chicago, however devastating, doesn't compare to the loss of our whole nation. Your quick destruction of the Psychic Amplifier meant that the Soviets never had time to fully test its power."
Slower than Par Time: "The Psychic Amplifier was destroyed, but not before the Soviets gained valuable test data about it's effects. In spite of the tragic loss of Chicago, however, you've saved our entire nation from falling under the influence of the Soviets' most powerful psychic weapon."
