The Defense Department's Independent Combat Command Hall, located in the Central Coordination Center, Weiguang District, Central City.
An announcement echoed throughout the hall:
"The Fumu has entered the final preparatory stage for splitting."
"First split is projected to occur at 00:00 on the twenty-second. Countdown: twelve hours, thirty-two minutes."
"All departments and emergency response units have entered a state of high alert."
Specialist Liang stood on the hall's second floor, gazing at a light screen displaying an image of the entire Central City.
Below him, the command room was bustling with communications liaisons, Resonance technicians, and a number of unit commanders.
Once the split officially began, they would receive real-time information from the Administrative Affairs Hall, the Processing Bureau, city patrols, and the various local units and emergency teams across Central City. This data would be compiled and analyzed, then used to issue commands and orders.
