"It started with some felonies, and grew into the largest offensive in Pivo history. Hundreds dead in the first day, over one thousand by the end of the week. Law enforcement, public militia and the Pivovarsky National Defense Force was deployed to the areas around the city capital of Pivele. We didn't even realize it was what is was until it was to late. A well coordinated coup d'état carried out by the men and women of the Pivovarsky Communist Party, the National Bolshevik Association and the Red Historical Foundation. We didn't know what we were getting into.
December 18, 2010 - 0300 Hours
Pivele, Pivovarsky - Near Red Square, En Route to Pivele Branch of National Bank of Pivovarsky
Officer Tasuyo Yamasaki - Pivele Police Department
Civilian vehicles moved off to the side of the road as the sirens of five black and white Pivele Police Department Interceptors raced down the six lane main street running down the length of Pivele, almost six miles. They passed shops and sidewalks teeming with Pivo citizens going on with their day. Their convoy sped down the streets at ninety six miles per hour, passing the cluttered shoulders, filled with cars merging to avoid the interceptors path. They were responding to a silent alarm set off at the Pivele Branch of the National Bank of Pivovarsky. The Police Department had no video feeds from the surveillance equipment of the bank, probably cut off by the robbers. No communications could be made with the bank, and no officers were on the scene. Officer Tasuyo Yamasaki, an eight year veteran of the Pivele Police Force, was riding shot gun in the lead car of the convoy. He was putting on a bullet proof vest and hooking X90 stun grenades onto his vest. There were four officers per car, each armed with Type 91 and Type 89 5.56mm assault rifles. Some had laser pointers and others, M203 grenade launchers with 40mm smoke grenades.
Robbery was seldom in Pivovarsky, mainly because of the policies put in place by the Pivele Police Department. Units could be deployed immediately to a crime scene.
Yamasaki picked up his radio and sent out a broadcast. [i]"All officers, be advised, we have a 211 [robbery] in progress at 302 Main Street. Unknown number of suspects. Expect them to be armed and dangerous."
The interceptors screeched to a halting stop as were in front of the bank. Otherwise from the sidewalks being empty, there was nothing out of the ordinary. The bank was a two story glass building, supported by titanium beams raised in an abstract pattern. The sunlight reflected off of this bastion of modern art amongst stone buildings based on Roman architecture. The crisp brown leafs of fall fell on the pavement which was covered in frost from the morning rain. The officers crouched behind their patrol cars, weapons drawn. Everything was quiet, and the streets were completely empty. This was reason enough for suspicion.
Yamasaki rose. "Kurita, Matsuyama. On me. Banno, Kasawaki. Cover us."
The three officers got up, still aiming their weapons at the front doors of the bank. They crossed four lanes of frozen pavement, hitting the glass wall wall with their backs. Yamasaki unhooked one of his flash grenades, letting his Type 91 fall to his side. "Breaching."
Suddenly, a series of large large explosions shook the ground. All around them, stone buildings were engulfed in smoke. White powder bordered the black plums of smoke and slabs of stone and metal erupted into the street.
"Fall back!"
As this order was given, the men immediately bolted back to their squad cars. Moments later, the bank ignited, glass shards flying in every direction. This white powder covered the streets like a fallout, and the officers were unresponsive.
