Commander Owen stood before a camera, his uniform torn and bloodied, a gash above his right eye still seeping red onto his stoic face. Despite his injuries, his voice remained steady as Kelvin finished setting up the emergency broadcast system.
"Citizens of the Eastern Cardinal," Owen began, "this is Commander Owen Reeves of the Academy Defense Corps. We are currently responding to a terrorist attack centered at the Nexus arena. While we have neutralized the immediate threat posed by these terrorist operatives, we have discovered an explosive device of significant magnitude."
He paused, choosing his words carefully. "Our technical experts have determined that conventional disarmament is impossible. We have formulated an evacuation plan that requires your immediate cooperation. All citizens within a five-kilometer radius of the Arena Complex must proceed directly to the arena itself. I repeat: proceed directly to the arena."
