The LTSN-901 "Areonautilus" ascends out of the water where it lurks, and flies over New Manhattan and remains hovering over it. In English, a man speaks in English over a loudspeaker, speaking to the whole city.
"Hello, this is Sedrik Ejzemoi of Erinaum's naval fleet of the LTSN-901 Areonautilus, please listen to my instructions and cooperate, and you will not be harmed. Many of you are quite familiar with the former regime's oppressive government imposing on your life, and often brutalizing many of you before. This very day, the PHMA will liberate you from your chains. The wall, this metallic and sinister symbol that has ever reminded you of the oppression that you suffer, will be torn down. There will be 3 striking zones. I urge you all to be outside of the striking zones by a 5 kilometer radius. PHMA officials will guide you outside of the blasting zone where you will be safe. Please cooperate, and you will not be harmed. You will have 3 hours to collect your belongings and move out until the wall is torn down. Do not stand within 50 meters of the wall at any point when the striking is commencing. Pleas help your fellow citizens to safety.
Thank you."
The broadcast turns off, and a din of noise can be heard below of people murmuring to themselves.
