[b]The CIS [i]New Point[/i][/b] Lt. Johnson sputtered out, "Hey!" as his favorite Empire of America radio station suddenly cut out, and then he was silenced as he heard the next part. "Major, you need to hear this! There's some kind of Empire of America broadcast going on that's... unusual." Major Wells immediately came over, having already suspected something was wrong by the sputtering, and the sudden cut-off of it. "What is it, L-t?" After giving the headphones to the Major, he said, "The safest thing would be that the Empire of America is... well. They're searching much more forcefully for their anti-Empire terrorists. The most likely thing, I would think, is that someone got into their systems and broadcasted. Which means that, based on what the message says... someone's launching an offensive. Those are my thoughts, of course." Several people in the room rose their voices and agreed with Johnson, saying things like "About goddamn time!" and "So they really do have the heart to do something!", while others were "What the hell? It's probably just some prank," to "Shut it, Johnson, we don't need any bullcrap today." At that, Johnson set it up on speakers, and for three minutes, everyone was silent as the message was played out several times in an unfamiliar voice. The Major looked rather grim-faced, and after the broadcast was turned off by Johnson, he ordered all the on-duty crew to go back to their assigned duties, and he went to go report to the Station Commander. Before he left, he gave specific orders to scan the Empire of America, and locate any kind of conflict, and then send a message asking for a response.
