Before Day 7
Several years before Day 7, Starkwood seized 30 Python missiles during a military deployment in Pakistan.

Day 7
During Day 7, Jonas Hodges asked Tom Chapman to load the canisters of the prion variant pathogen they engineered. He had the missiles locked on several targets on the eastern coast of the US. At 12:58am, Hodges called President Allison Taylor and sent them a visual of the missiles threatening to launch them if she didn't meet with him. When he left to meet with Taylor, he ordered Chapman and his engineers to launch the missiles if anything happened.

At around 1:20am, Tony Almeida managed to infiltrate the fuel tanks and rigged them with C-4. Just when Chapman activated the launch codes for the missiles, Tony detonated them.
