0648, West Pacific City time.
An aide rushes into the President's room where he and his wife are sleeping. "Mr. President, I have some very important information that you need to see." Slowly the President gets up.
"What is it Alex?" says a sleepy President.
"Mr. President, the commonwealths of Aspermont, Ellendale, Agias, Actene, Eratreos, Ibica, Iteos, Eulandas, Ancelstierre, Woonsocket, Del Holme, Fairbanks, Burgandia, Scotsdale, Tripp, Bonne, Balkastar and Winthrop have all seceded from the Dominion."
"What?" says a stunned President, "Why the hell would they do that?"
"They cited high taxes and to much power of the federal government over that of the commonwealths." The aide pauses for a second. "Sir, umm, I think you had better come with me."
"Let me get dressed first."
"Sorry Mr. President, but we do not have time for that."
"And why not?"
"Because your head of security is suspected of being sympathetic towards these commonwealths, more than half of the security people in this building reside from the 17 commonwealths that have seceded."
"OK, go wake my kids and get them on board a helicopter to be taken to a secure location."
"Mr. President, arrangements have been made already, a convoy is preparing to take you through the city and into the mountain bunkers."
"Alex, how bad is it?"
"I can not lie to you Mr. President, unlike our last war with the Socialists, these guys are well prepared, well armed, and their morale is high. 15 members of the Senate, 290 members of the House of Commons and 37 members of the House of Lords have resigned and are to make up the new government of these commonwealths."
Suddenly a loud explosion is heard from inside the building and gunfire erupts, 8 men in the West Pacific Marines Corp. Come bursting into the room."
"Sir," says one of the Marines, "We must get you out of here right away, we have a convoy of six M3A3's, nine T-99's, and three AH-64A Longbow attack helicopters waiting for you."
"Where did those shots come from earlier?"
"That was our men sir, a large contingent of your security forces was sent to arrest you, our cammander ordered us over here once he found out about the secession of the northern provinces, we must leave immediately, we only came with 30 men, half of them are guarding your convoy, sir, we must go now."
"But what about my children?" The President demands.
The Marine grabs the President by the belt and all but carries him to the convoy where he is put in one of the AFV's, his children are already in and his wife joined them no more than three seconds later.
"The President is on board!" Shouts the Marine, whose insignia says he is a captain."Take him to the first checkpoint!"
With that the engines bellowed as the convoy started speeding out of the city, suddenly an RPG came flying out of a window and hit the second M3A3 in the convoy, the one that was immediately in front of the one the President was riding in.
"What the hell was that?" The President is not concerned not about his safetly but of the safety of his wife and children."
"Sir, an RPG hit the M3A3 in front of us, the armor for the most part protected it, but there is a basketball sized hole in the side armor, no reports of casualties as of yet."
"Good, just keep moving and keep radio chatter to a minimum until we are outside of the city."
"Sir, we should be out of the city in 8 minutes and at your bunker in approximately 25 minutes."
"When we get there I want Al Giordino to tell me just what the hell is going on."
"He is already waiting for you."
