16 October 1962, 1118 London Time, London

Harold Macmillian, British Prime Minister, sat in his office in the Admirality building. Number 10 was being refurbished, so he was stuck here.

He read his intelligence briefings. There was a unconfirmed report that the Soviet Union were building medium-range. missiles in Cuba.

"Right", he thought to himself, "I'll call John and tell him about this".

"Phillip!" he called down the corridor, "I need you to work this phone!"

(OOC: Macmillian was shot in the hand during World War I, which impaired his dexterity)

Philip came in and called up the President of the United States.
