Thank you all for your insightful comments. I think all of you are correct; I wanted this to be a story about someone taking over a silo and the struggle of the commander to take it back. But then I thought I needed an extra twist to make it more interesting. But it seems I took a route that is very, very deficient. As you all pointed out, there seems to be a disconnect between the storyline of the struggle for the silo and the spy identity. I can't take the easy way out. So I'll need to reconsider how to find a hook that gives it a unique twist while still being connected to the main story line.
Again, thank you very much for your comments, I'll come back when I have a better logline to offer.
I don't see what the dramatic dilemma is here.
A true dilemma is one where a character must choose between 2 courses of action, both of which are equally desirable or equally undesirable. ?Emphasis on equally: ?she's damned if she she does; she's damned if she doesn't. If the choices aren't weighted equally, then it's not a true dramatic dilemma.
I don't see how having to overcome the war hero puts her in jeopardy of being revealed as a spy. ?Nor do I see how it conflicts with her spy mission. ?Surely, it is in the best interest of the country she spies for to defuse any situation that would trigger a nuclear war. ?She's been planted as a spy to collect technical intelligence, ?not precipitate a nuclear war. ?Right?
