It was four in the afternoon at the City Square of New Clark City. The atmosphere was filled with a mix of curiosity and mild confusion as people from both New Clark City Camp and the Makati Oriental Camp gathered. Everyone seemed to be asking the same question: why were they all called here?
The Blackwatch soldiers, easily recognizable in their gear, were the ones who had spread the word. They moved through the crowd, letting everyone know that an announcement from the commander-in-chief of Blackwatch was imminent. This information didn't do much to clear up the confusion, but it did add a sense of seriousness to the gathering. People looked at each other, some guessing what the announcement could be about, others just waiting patiently.
