The Featured Article this time concerns the Kremlin Report, a Russian military manual which influenced certain events during World War III.

The Kremlin Report is an important defense manual for Russia's nuclear launch facilities, with drastic measures to prevent the silos inside Russia being used against it, with the country's recent missile defense network being focused outside its borders.

The manual's main measure is a bacteriological wall, disseminated if the facility is likely to be captured, meant to eliminate enemies without damaging the facility and render the silo inaccessible to invaders. The deadly airborne biological weapon has a high mortality rate, no effective vaccine and is capable of eating holes in air filters. The manual prioritizes securing the facilities, so no evacuation warnings are given to soldiers there or nearby civilians.

During World War III, officers in Moscow decided to activate the Kremlin Report, considering the possibility that Academy City might go after the nuclear silos. Information reached the Elizalina Alliance of Independent Nations, where Hamazura Shiage and Takitsubo Rikou were. With one of the silos close to a border village they had previously been, the news spurred them to act to save the villagers from the bacteriological weapon.
