((In 2020, COVID-19 became more severe than it actually was, the Saudi Arabian civil war caused oil prices to skyrocket, and the political, economic, and social conditions in the United States deteriorated, ultimately leading to the Second American Civil War in 2021 and the country splitting into various factions. The NYPD has taken control of New York City and Long Island and is engaged in a war with the Patriot Front and other forces within New England.))

On November 2, 2021, you and your superior, Charlotte, are fortifying downtown New York City in preparation for the Patriot Front's advance. After work, at 6 p.m., you and Charlotte are resting in a building. You and Charlotte are listening to live updates from the NYPD-occupied Port Chester and Westchester County Airports via portable military radios, located on the Patriot Front-occupied Connecticut border. The Patriot Front is currently engaged in battles with multiple factions, making an attack on New York City unlikely, so no attacks have yet occurred in the border area. Charlotte turns off the radio because she wants silence during her break.

Charlotte — Phew... It's finally quieter now.
