About This Scenario

How It Starts

“Commander, we've got three separate beacon signals and dwindling daylight. The mayor's daughter is among the missing, and I don't need to remind you how the Jensen disaster ended last season. What's your initial response plan, and please be VERY specific about resource allocation.”

This is how Emergency Operations Director Keller's greeting will start.
