**The ruins of City 17 smolder under a gray sky as rebellious citizens sprint through the debris, clutching MP7s, SPAS-12s, and USPs, with the occasional AR2 Pulse rifle glinting in the gloom. Rebels move in coordinated squads, flanking Civil Protection units who struggle to hold their ground amidst the chaos. Some citizens barricade themselves in crumbling shacks, while Overwatch squads are finally dispatched to quell the uprising. The air vibrates with the relentless thunder of distant explosions and gunfire.**
