Day 1 - The Approach

The small squad of Survivalists and Peacemakers arrive at the entrance of Comstock Tower, and spy a group of CyMS wandering in front of the entrance. Judging by the uniforms that some of the CyMS are wearing, one of them must have the key card to the locked main entrance of the tower. They approach cautiously and begin to knock-out CyMS to find the key card and enter the tower. 

Meanwhile the Red Dragons followed the squad to the tower, and figured that if they get into the tower first, they might be able to destroy the communications equipment and foil the “do-gooders”. 

The Animals arrive at the scene pondering why the humans are trying to get into a strange building, but get distracted by their natural hatred towards CyMS, which launches them into a violent rampage...
