AO: James A. Farely Post Office
Used As: Base of Operations for CERA/JTF
Status: At Severe Risk 

Several rioters were moving in from the street, laying down suppressive  fire on the standing JTF squad there. They were behind some cinder blocks, three of them cowering in fear. The fourth one, however, held firm, and kept firing back. He then pulled out a radio.

"We got multiple hostiles moving in from the street! We're pinned down! Where's my backup!?" He shouted into it. After a few minutes of static, and more rioters showing up, the dispatch came up.

JTF Dispatch: I've got noone to send to you. We've got wounded. We got people going over the wire...I-I'm sorry but...t-there's noone coming! I'm sorry!

That wasn't the answer the officer wanted to hear, and replied back in the radio, angrily. "I don't care! Anything you got - anything, just send it to us! Hell, get yourself off the radio and get over here! They're breaking through and we don't have enough to hold!"

That officer that was screaming into the radio then got pistol whipped by a rioter who noticed him.

??? POV

When I finally came to, I had a JTF soldier shaking my shoulder gently.

"Hey uh, agent." the soldier, a fox, told me. I just blinked and rubbed my eyes a little. "Look I know you're tired and everything, but you have a job to do."

I just blinked a few more times before I jumped to my feet. Oh shit! I forgot: I was supposed to help the JTF with their base or something. Just as I woke up, ISAC placed the location on the minimap: it was the post office in Madison Square Garden. That's when Faye came on the line. 

Faye Lau: Agent, we need to get the Base of Operations in Madison Square Garden back under control; some rioters are trying to enter the secure zone. The JTF are doing their best, but they don't have a leader and they're stretched pretty thin. Get over there and help them. I'd join you, but...

She signs out at that point, and I nod, knowing my mission. I begin jogging, through the sanitized area, where some CERA workers in hazmat suits are setting some stuff up. 

"It's all good. You can head through." they tell me. I nod to them and keep jogging through. 

After I officially enter Camp Hudson, I see what could be the last order and safety in Manhattan: several tents set up - some for civilians while the others were for the JTF - all set up by CERA. Patrolling were some JTF soldiers, er police officers, two armed with shotguns and another with an M9 pistol. 

I keep jogging through and I see it: my Division stash. I smile as I walk over to it. I put in my code..but it doesn't open. I'm confused and try it again, and again. Still doesn't open. I assume this is Faye's stash. My personal stash is probably at the Base of...Operations. I just sigh and facepalm. 

I jog out through the gates, seeing a long line of civilians in a caged area. Probably waiting to get screened and get the hell out of here. I don't blame them. 

ISAC: Warning - now leaving the safe area.

I guess this is my notice that it's ok at this point to take my weapon back out. I do so and begin my run - not jog, run - to Madison Square Garden. On the way I met this female civilian: she asked me for a can of soda, which I provided to her.

"T-thank you. You just made a friend today." She said as she offered me a hat - a pom pom beanie. I tried to refuse but she was persistent so I just took it. 

As I kept on running, I see the building come into view: it was rectangular, and had some 'CERA - STATE' banners hanging on it. As I come closer to it, ISAC gives me some important information.
