Taking a step into the Police Headquarters, Lance glanced down at the large plaque that had been placed into the white and black marble floor beneath his feet. A torrent of cold air from came from the air conditioning vent on the ceiling above them, rustling part of his fur before the door shut behind him, promptly turning it off. The interior of the Zootopia Police Headquarters was even more impressive than the pictures he had seen of it, no expenses were spared when it had been created. Glancing down at the large bronze plaque beneath his feet, he noticed there were in fact words written upon it. “Ever vigilant, the Zootopia Police Headquarters has its officers working day and night to ensure the safety and quality of life for the populous of the city. Our motto is to protect and serve.” Lance read the words to his squad. He had seen the motto back at the academy, on a large wall written in bold black letters that were quite difficult to miss. "You all saw that motto back at the Academy, right? I knew they were going to have it plastered somewhere inside of the Headquarters here." 

The floor of the Police Headquarters was extremely active, officers went their own way, carrying out their daily tasks and assignments, doing their job with impressive efficiency and expertise. It took a moment for Lance to locate their squad leader who was leaning next to a large spiral staircase that lead to the second story. As soon as Joseph saw his squad, he motioned for them to join him and started to walk up the stairs. “Chief Onyx has called a briefing for all of us inside of the conference room, I rather not keep him waiting.” Lance did his best to keep us with the fast paced tiger as he sprinted up the stairs and then walked down the hallway to his left. “I was...er we...were wondering, when will we finish outlast part of training? It seems we managed to….” Joseph glared down at Lance, quickly shutting him up. The fox could take a hint, so he kept his mouth shut and followed quietly until finally arriving at the large conference room.

Walking inside, Lance noticed that all but the missing squad and his own were sitting in comfortable chairs, waiting for the Chief to show up. Picking out a seat for himself, Lance quickly sat down and crossed his arms over his chest. Everyone inside of the room was talking to their squad mates to discuss what had just happened. Though, when Chief Onyx walked in, the room fell silent and waited for him to speak. Walking over to the podium, Onyx coughed lightly and looked around the room before speaking. “As all of you now know, we had a situation while all of you were in route to receive your final part of training. We had squad 36 fall prey to an ambush set up by who we assume is Raddik and his forces. We have a number of possible locations as to where the squad is being held hostage and we need officers to investigate the two locations as soon as possible."

"Raven Squad will be leaving soon to investigate location A, but we need another squad of officers to investigate location B. Unfortunately, most of the force is currently preoccupied with another serious situation. So here is where we currently stand, I need a squad to volunteer to go to location B and do a very thorough search for the hostages with extreme caution. Do we have any volunteers or do I have to pick a squad myself?” There was silence before Lance raised his hand, “Sir, I volunteer Squad 66 to take part in this mission alongside Raven Squad.” Chief Onyx smirked with a nod of his head, “Very well Cadet, pull this off and your whole squad will have more to brag and boast about then being a fully-fledged officer of Zootopia. Joseph will show you down to the armory where your gear will be waiting, the rest of you have the day off.” Lance looked around at the rest of his squad while in the back of his mind he worried quite a bit about how they were going to pull this off. 

As if on note, Joseph did not move from his seat yet, but merely told them where they were to go and what they were to pick up while at the armory. “First floor, first hall to the right, there’s a sign that says armory, you would have to be a deaf, dumb, and blind pig to miss it. Once you are there, Kayli should have everything you need. Nothing lethal, I am the only one that can carry something like that. You are getting a full set of SWAT gear with Kevlar and bulletproof plating inserts, a Taser rifle, a Taser pistol, tear gas frags, flash bangs, pepper spray, a medical kit, and utility kit that is designed for situations like this. Once you have all of the equipment, meet me back outside at our Bearcat. The more time you waste, our chances of finding anything go down. Tundratown is not the best place to be at night as well.” 

Lance stood up and quickly left the room, not making any eye contact with his squad, worried that they were going to end up incredibly upset with him for volunteering all of them for the mission. The fox did as he was told, swiftly and to the letter, though something in the back of his mind told him to ask for slightly better gear from Kayli. When he arrived at the Armory, he was given all of his equipment but leaned slightly against the counter looking the female puma in her violet eyes. “I would like to request a powerful scope for my rifle, iron sights are alright but scouting the area with no range finders or anything of the sort will put us at a disadvantage in this delicate situation.” Kayli stared at him with a blank look upon her face before laughing, “How about I give you all ACOG scopes with a two to five times magnification rate? Better that you all have the optics then just one person.” Kayli would vanish for a moment without waiting for a response then would return with the scopes for each member of squad 66. After Lance thanked Kayli for her kindness many times, he quickly made his way out to the Bearcat. 

By now, the evening was moving in, and it would be hard to find anyone or anything without the light of day. Their squad leader was already in the Bearcat, waiting for them. “Evening Squad leader, I am ready to go and I would like to apologize about volunteering all of us for this, I am not sure what I was thinking, I just kind of...yeah.” Said Lance as he took a seat and buckled himself in. The sound of another engine could be heard coming from nearby, it was growing louder and louder before a black Ghosthawk Helicopter flew over the Bearcat, creating an amazing amount of noise then vanished into the distance. “That was Raven squad leaving to head to their destination, we need to leave immediately. Also don't worry about volunteering us, I think it's a great way to show the Chief, the other squads and Raven that we can all get things done. That is my personal opinion though, the others could be quite upset at you.” He shrugged lightly then placed his paws upon the steering wheel.
