The fall of the American federal government forced many foreign-deployed American commands to look to local resources to survive. The Japanese island of Okinawa was one of the largest such bases, and was one of the last parts of the Japanese islands to fall to the Chinese invasion. Twilight season four’s first episode showed that fall in living color. And while not entirely historically accurate, it also showed Twilight and Dixie performing an emergency transmission over the remaining communications lines across the Pacific in order to help. The network had to show the stars of their show doing something more than watching after all.
