LIVE from the Chaos: East Coast Invasion ​REPORTER VOICE (Breathy, high adrenaline, fighting to maintain professional composure, pausing as loud, non-specific noises occur off-mic): ​(Loud CRUMP sound, followed by static) ​"Can you hear me?

The ships, they're not naval vessels we recognize. They're dropping what look like heavy combat vehicles onto the dockyards. They're moving inland with frightening speed, showing zero hesitation in engaging any force that tries to stop them. ​We've heard multiple explosions... artillery, possibly air strikes, but the air superiority seems to belong entirely to them. The National Guard units we saw minutes ago—they’ve been completely scattered. They had no warning, no chance. ​Right now, all official channels are silent. We don't know who this is, where they came from, or what their objective is, but I can tell you from the smoke, the noise, and the bodies on the street... we are being overrun. This is a breach that is getting wider by the second. I have to go, we have movement—" ​(The sound cuts out abruptly, followed by only harsh static.)
