• President Charles Logan : [Giving a statement to the press]  as you all know, America has been hit today by a series of terrorist strikes: beginning with assassination of the former President Palmer, and the murder of innocent civilians at Ontario Airport, followed by the attempted assassination of Russian President Yuri Suvarov. These events are being orchestrated by terrorists operating within our borders, our most recent intelligence suggests that they will strike again and soon. I can and will do my sworn duty to ensure the safety of the American people. Therefore, I am issuing an Executive Order imposing a curfew on the civilians in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, this curfew will be effective immediately and will be enforced by the military, as disruptive and distasteful I know it is for many of you, I would ask that you remember that we are at war.
