*I place my Class A jacket on over my pressed white dress shirt, covering the bandages barely, and I walk out to the front door, placing my Cover on my head as I approach the ERT Podium, in front of several ERT personnel in dress uniforms, as well as many members of the media*
'Thank you everyone for coming, I first wish to thank all the emergency service men and women for their recent efforts in this terrorist attack. I've received words for Supervisory Special Agent Fornell of the FBI that this was indeed a linked attack to the several other ERT attacks, such as the complex breaching, the attack on a dispatcher and several other smaller events that were linked. Plans from interrogations of the Anti-ERT group for this attack planned the car bomb that went off 28 March in the eraly hours of the morning was supposed to raise attention, so that when the explosions went off it would result in a high death toll of emergency service workers.
The initial incidiary bomb was supposed to have attracted fire service personnel, such as ERT and PFD, as well as neighbouring counties, in which a second "Shocker bomb was planted in the washroom, diffused by ERT HRES Bruce Beard. This bomb was meant to rock and destroy the building, killing all the firefighters within, and creating a debris radius to do severe damage to the surrounding area as well. Two other bombs were located, both being dirty bombs. The first was a car bomb meant to be a combination incindiary, dirty and shocker, to rock the area while creating a huge, toxic fireball. This was believed to have been targetted at the personnel in the area, as well as a chemical attack to the nearby water supply. The final bomb, a small version placed in a backpack was dropped outside of the front door, activated on a timer, and believed to have been a last ditch effort by the only remaining group member. After a breif struggle, myself and Paramedic Dave Lafferty were able to subdue the subject, as well with help from our Bomb Squad, handle the explosive device, saving many lives.'
'Now, for the first time since ERT was made into a Federal Agency, we are announcing the reinstatement of Service Awards available to ERT personnel. A number of awards will be issued to special services committed, however each person involved in this emergency will all receive a Phoxlind Attacks Service Bar, all black, with a red and blue line going across the middle. All persons who received injuries on this call that would normally constitute a purple heart are now being awarded a special crimson heart, denoted by an all crimson bar.'
*I usher forward the many persons receiving special awards, pin their pin on them and announce the name, award and reason.*
