Jason Smith attempted to sleep in the DDF HQ, after the midnight incident.  He had a hard time, though, as there were helicopters inside.

Meanwhile, in the Commander’s Office, Rodlen was surprised by a young DDF patrolman.

“Sir, there are black Shade helicopters outside, armed with machineguns!!!” said the patrolman.

Rodlen activated the alarm.  “Shade copters detected!!! Anti-air groups, prepare for combat!  Kalumson, strike with the Awesome Deathship!  You know, the one with the mess of skulls and stuff.”

Yeah, that one, with the wreckage and skulls.
