The blonde reporter broadcast live at breakneck speed.
Her voice trembled slightly, but her professionalism barely allowed her to maintain her composure.
Just then, the ground began to shake.
Dozens of military vehicles came rolling in from the far end of the street. Green armored personnel carriers, Humvees, and command vehicles formed a long convoy as they advanced toward the FBA Building.
On the roofs of the vehicles, soldiers held their rifles at the ready, watching the building warily.
In the sky, more Black Hawk helicopters approached from afar. Their rotors tore through the air, casting swiftly moving shadows across the night.
"Oh my God, the military is here! The National Guard has been deployed!" The reporter's voice suddenly rose.
"Viewers, what we are seeing now is the National Guard entering Washington.
This is the largest military mobilization in Washington, D.C. since 9/11. The entire city is entering a state of emergency."
Tank treads crushed the asphalt, producing a low, rumbling roar.
The turrets of infantry fighting vehicles turned toward the building. Soldiers spread out around the vehicles, while snipers took up positions at every high point along the street.
Commanders gathered beside the command vehicles, staring at the building's structural plans and troop deployment schemes on their tablets.
Inside the building, gunfire continued, and the upper floors were lit up.
Far across the Pacific Ocean, in Upper Capital, Rabbit Nation.
It was already morning. Major Rabbit Nation television stations and media outlets almost simultaneously switched over to Bald Eagle's live broadcast feed.
On the news channel screens, the blonde, blue-eyed reporter was still speaking rapidly into the camera from a helicopter. Behind her, the FBA Building flickered with firelight as Black Hawk helicopters circled overhead.
