The Division: Shattered Command

Chapter 5: A New Era Begins

David's helicopter touched down on the outskirts of Washington, D.C., and he was greeted by a squad of S.H.D. agents who ushered him into the headquarters. The newly revamped Base of Operations was buzzing with activity as personnel scrambled to adjust to the new changes. David entered the building with a sense of resolve and anticipation.Inside, Keener and Hardcase were already hard at work. Keener, now a general, was organizing a new strategy for the Base of Operations, while Hardcase was overseeing the reprogramming of the Division's watches. David met with Keener in his office, a room previously reserved for the Director."Keener, how's everything going?" David asked as he entered."It's coming together," Keener replied. "I'm finalizing the new security protocols and assigning roles for the updated operations.""Excellent. We need to hit the ground running. There's a lot of rebuilding to do, and we need to show everyone that this is a fresh start," David said."I agree. The team is motivated, but we need to ensure that everyone understands the new direction," Keener said.David nodded. "I want to meet with the team leaders and set the tone for the changes. They need to be on board with the new vision."Meanwhile, Foxbound had been busy coordinating with other units and setting up communication channels. She joined David and Keener in the conference room."Foxbound, how's the coordination going?" David asked."Everything is on track," Foxbound said. "I've updated the communication systems, and we're ready to relay the new directives.""Good. We need to ensure a smooth transition. Our priority is to restore order and build trust within the ranks," David said.David spent the rest of the day meeting with various departments, outlining his vision for the future of S.H.D., and ensuring that everyone was aligned with the new goals. The mood was cautiously optimistic, but the true test would come with time.As night fell, David retired to his temporary quarters, reflecting on the challenges ahead. His thoughts were interrupted by a call from Hardcase."David, I've finished reprogramming the watches. They're now bright golden yellow as you requested," Hardcase reported."Thanks, Hardcase. I appreciate the quick turnaround," David said. "How's everything else?""We're working through the final details of the security overhaul. Everything should be in place soon," Hardcase assured him.David ended the call and looked out the window, contemplating the road ahead. The changes were only beginning, and there was much work to be done to reshape S.H.D. and ensure its effectiveness in the new era.
