<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Seattle Metro Police Precinct 5<br/>17:34 20 July 2079</strong></span><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">The Chief finally stepped out of his office, having been on the phone and talking with his chief officers.  They all looked a bit unhappy, as the chief addressed everyone, "Alright people, listen up.  We got called back to prepare for a possible invasion scenario.  The Department of Defense gave us a call right in the middle of that situation in the mall, and told us that we might be looking at an invasion.  So far, they've told us to get ready, just in case."<br/><br/>Someone piped up, "An invasion?  Like, for real invasion?"<br/><br/>"That's right.  DoD thought it might be China, but so far everything's still quiet.  What we do know is that whatever it was that tripped the alarm, did it big time.  Every military base in the country is on full alert, and so are we.  We have orders to get ready to provide assistance should the military deem it necessary to national defense.  Everyone will need to be on 24 hour alert from here on, and you are not to discuss any of this to anyone outside your homes.  We'll be rotating you all out so that you have time to go home and explain to your families, so please keep the phones clear.  You're all on overtime until we get new orders."</span>
