OPEN, MT-PMT
FIRST ATTACK: MINISTRY OF PEACE [16:17]
It was 17 minutes into the lonely hour of Sixteen. Outer Party worker Eric Lineman looked at the massive telescreen on the Ministry of Peace building as he left work for his dingy flat, just as he was turning around to take the long walk home, there was a noise that sounded like nails on a chalkboard, Eric turned around and looked at the telesceen.
On it, there were red words with a black backround that sent a very strange message
SUCKS TO BE YOU
Before he even had time to fathom what the message went, a bomb went off, Eric flew backwards and landed on the sidewalk, he felt a horrible pain...then...nothing
----------------
SECOND ATTACK: VICTORY SQUARE[17:19]
There was a massive crowd in the square, and thats to say, a larger crowd then usual. A massive crowd saw a clear veiw of the Ministry of Peace building, burning, sending smoke infront of a hot sun that was starting to set. Already it must've been about 35 degrees farenhite, suddenly, the four telescreens around the square flashed a message.
We all blow UP! We all fall DOWN!
Seconds later, a bomb went off at the nearby statue, those who wern't killed by the inital explosian in the packed square were burned alive, died from smoke, or were crushed by peices of the statue.
-----------------------------
THIRD ATTACK: Dreamcatcher and Lyme street [18:42]
The proles seemed to be rather uninterested with the going ons in the far off Victory Square. All Party-related nonsense. The truth is that 85% of Twoplustwo's population couldn't care less about the war and terrorism. So this seemed like a rather unimprotant and low grade target. Suddenly, the telescreens flashed a message again. This wasn't the strange messages that preceeded the other two attacks, this was an offical government message.
[color=green]COMRADS. OUTSIDE DOUBLEPLUSUNGOOD. RETURN INDOORS NODELAY. STAY INSIDE. ENEMY BOMBS
Suddenly there was a noise that sounded like a train, and before the Proles knew it, their lives were over, a rocket bomb had hit right in the middle of the intersection, and brought down the four buildings that stood at the street corners.
[FOURTH ATTACK: Tube Station 24.[19:04]
An alarm sounded, trains went to an abrupt stop and people ran off. The telescreens inside and out were warning the citizens.
COMRADS! EMERGANCY PLAN ACTIVATE FULLWISE. GO INSIDE NODELAY. REPORT MINIPAX SHELTER IF HURT OR NOPLACE
The telescreen then showed a map of the nearest avalible shelter. And people filed out of the station and above ground as quickly as they could, but they weren't fast enough. There was a beeping noise, and then an explosian that killed everyone in the station. When the fire hit the subway's fuel tank, a wall of flame was sent down the line and obliderated an oncoming train.
------------------------------
Aftermath [24:05
The patrols were still on cleanup and releif late in the day, inital reports had just come in and were being broadcast with great sorrow on the Telescreen. A male reporter with a very serious expression was reporting
"Latest figures say that 5,000 Inparty members and 15,000 outer party members have died. This is a terrible sadness to our nation, the oricistrators of these attacks are unknown. In addition, 15,000 proles are believed dead, now onto to lighter news as......"
Inner Party member Greg Foster turned off the Telescreen, something only Innerparty workers could do, this prevented them from watching him and blasting propaganda. The worst part, the number of party members dead was a slight overexageration. And the number of proles dead was a massive undersight. He knew from his constant contact with the Patrols that were out, that at least 97,000 proles were dead, but the news would never report that, because the proles weren't important, just human resources. Greg had no idea what had happened, just then, his telescreen turned itself back on, which only meant one thing, emergancy broadcast.
"Comrades, our great leader Sopot has just declared it unsafe to go outdoors. Proles and Party Members must NOT report to work today, children will not be going to school. Those outside of their homes without permission, may be shot. Meat rations may have to be cut back as the production facility for Victory Meats was badly damaged..."
Greg knew this to be a lie too. The meat production center was miles away from any of the attacks, it was just a convient excuse to give even less. Another broadcast said there would also be no more Victory Gin for several weeks as the brewery had exploded. A catastrophe, and another terrible lie. The broadcast ended after announcing addional cutbacks on razors, kitchenware, batteries, and wood products. All these facilites took no damage at all, but the government was givng less and less of everything now-a-days.
The only ones who could've pulled off such a feat as hacking into the Telescreens and planting bombs was an Innerparty member or a foreign country. Nobody else had access to that kind of technology.
