EVENTS IN AMERICA

---

The Business Plot - Henry Wallace's victory caused wealthy businessmen and Wall Street big shots to become concerned. Rumors began to spread that William Hearst and several other prominent tycoons were organizing a plan to prepare for the upcoming Wallace administration. Then, several political officials from both major parties supposedly got involved with military personnel following shortly. Somewhere along the way, the plan changed into replacing Wallace before he did any damage to America. Paul French was the journalist that broke the story shortly after MacArthur's March.

MacArthur's March - On Inauguration Day, attendees were surprised to see General Douglas MacArthur standing in place of to-be President Henry Wallace. He was sworn into a temporary presidency catching the crowd and some of the attendees off guard. Other than a short speech, MacArthur didn't answer any questions regarding the whereabouts of Wallace. Wallace supporters went to their representatives for answers, but they remained silent on the matter. Nobody, with the expectation of third-party members, from the Senate and Congress made any overt comments or objections. As a result, widespread protests and riots occurred across the country.

Butler's Revolt - Major General Smedley Darlington Butler, on May 16th, 1933, long concerned about the imprisonment of Henry Wallace and of McKee's presidential actions organized a military coup d'étact. The goal was to free Wallace from incarceration and neutralize both McKee and Pelley. His efforts, lasting for a week, were fruitless with the deaths of Wallace and Butler. Soon after, a major military purge commenced, decimating the American military's leadership.

The Savannah Spring - On July 4th, 1939, President McKee and Vice President Pelley traveled to Savannah to campaign for a third term. A week-long massive rally, similar to the one in Madison Square Garden earlier in the year, was planned out. On the second day, McKee went up to speak and reveal the big announcement. Instead, the podium exploded and caused everyone on the stage to sustain injuries. Suddenly, a group that called themselves Sons of Liberty entered the venue and opened fire at the stage. A firefight occurred and eventually spilled over to the city.

The venue burned down shortly after McKee and Pelley were escorted out by security, but the Sons of Liberty gave chase. Fighting prolonged into a brutal two-day siege before the rebels were defeated overwhelmed by the Army and National Guard, but the damage was done. McKee bled out inside the state car while Pelley was too injured to take over the presidency.

Brigadier General Charles Lindbergh and General Douglas MacArthur, who managed to end the Sons of Liberty, became national treasures overnight. After tales of their exploits spread to the upper echelons, in the wake of McKee's death and Pelley's injuries, MacArthur suggested that he took over the presidency again until the 1940 election and there was some hesitation. However, with Lindbergh announced as the Republican candidate, it was (eventually) met with universal approval.

1.03 // ACTION

Coral City, during the night, was still filled with people going to bars and nightclubs. While downtown and the boardwalk were bustling with life, the rest of the city remained peaceful for the most part. At one of the abandoned buildings, designated to be bulldozed in the near future, a police officer quietly entered. Nearby, Lonnie watched to make sure that nobody else was coming while Drew was putting the finishing touches on the masks. Lonnie turned. "I think that's everyone. You sure we're at the right place?"

"Positive." Drew answered. "The tracker is still showing she's in that building."

"Then, what are we waiting for? Let's save your friend." Lonnie put on his mask, a skull wearing a crown, and made his way to the building. But, Holly stopped him in his tracks.

"Hold on, we need to come up with a plan."

"Agreed." Roshanna approached both of them. "But what's the plan? You are the only one with powers at hand."

"I will distract the officers while everyone goes to save Drew's friend."

"You realize that there's a chance that they will beat you to death? I dealt with a few dirty cops in my life. They will not hold back." Lonnie crossed his arms and stared directly at Holly.

Miguel turned his attention to the building and noticed something strange on the second floor. It looked like a person being smashed against the window repeatedly. Suddenly, it finally broke, and the officer was shoved from the third floor. It felt like time slowed down as he attempted, in a foolish manner, to catch the falling officer. Normally, he wasn't the one to help out the authorities, especially with a warrant on his head. But, it appeared like he wasn't going to make in time. So in desperation, he stretched out his arm in the hopes that his powers were triggered.

His hopes were answered.

A strange violet hand appeared out of his arm and caught the officer before he met the concrete. Luckily enough, it appeared that he was unconscious as the hand carefully set him down. Miguel opened his eyes in amazement while everyone else watched in surprise. And then, the hand vanished as quickly as it appeared. He turned around, and his mouth wide open. "D-did you guys see that?!"

"That... was awesome!" Lonnie patted him on the back, which made Miguel blushed a little.

"Nice job."

Drew smiled and then stared at the broken window. "I hate to interrupt, but my friend's in serious danger. I would help out, but I'm in a wheelchair."

"I will stay behind to keep the van warm." Roshanna added.

Holly nodded and turned to the others, holding her statue of liberty mask. She knew what to do and made her way towards the building. Loonie was the first one to enter and immediately saw an officer's body. Holly went over to her and checked for a pulse. Thankfully, she was unconscious and not suffering serious injuries other than bruises. Miguel noticed more SWAT and police officers lying on the floor and stairs. All three of them raced up the stairs until they ended up on the third floor. That was when they noticed her.

A woman shield bashed an officer and then threw it at another officer. She noticed the strangers and greeted them while blocking a punch. "Oh, hey there! I assume M sent you to save me?"

"Yeah, but..." Miguel looked around and saw several more officers knocked out and then stared at her with astonishment. "It looks like you are doing well."

The woman couldn't help but smile at the compliment and bushed it off. She dealt with the last officer with a simple punch to the face. Holly approached her and took a moment to look at her, "So, what's your name?"

"You call me-"

"Katharsis." An older muscular man appeared from the stairs avoiding the strangers in front of him. He was directly looking at the woman with pure hatred. "It seems you still haven't learned, child."

SIGNIFICANT INDIVIDUALS

---

Charles Lindbergh - After achieving the first solo transatlantic flight in his Spirit of St. Louis, Lindbergh became a celebrity overnight to the American people. He went on tours across the country for several years while serving in the airforce. It was due to his support of McKee presidency that he gained the leeway. Then, he was the key player in ending the Savannah Spring resulting in becoming a national treasure overnight. Lindbergh was sought out to be the replacement Republican nominee, which he accepted without hesitation.

Gerald Smith - Smith, clergyman and founder of the America First Party, was sought out by Lindbergh to be his running mate for the 1940 election.

William Pelley - Founder of the Silver Legion of America and former Vice President, Pelley worked aside McKee to reshape the country. Originally, he was planned to replace Roosevelt until McKee came into the picture. Regardless, his performance and quick action during the chaos in Washington D.C. led him to the vice presidency. His Silver Legion became an important force for maintaining order and peace after the plot. Their influence grew more during The Great Cleansing. He suffered serious injuries during the Sons of Liberty attack that left him unable to maintain the office. Pelley retired to the Murphy Ranch, located in Los Angeles, and spent his time maintaining the Legion.

Everett McKee - Former President of the United States from 1932 to 1939. McKee was a right-wing political figure that campaigned across Oklahoma without drawing a crowd. Yet, he was still contacted and ultimately offered the presidency by the committee. Without any hesitation, he accepted and started working almost immediately with reassembling the executive cabinet. For eight years, McKee was responsible for changing the country and effectively established fascism for the first time in the world. His ambition was cut short in 1939 when he was assassinated by the Sons of Liberty. His body was buried on the grounds of the Oklahoma State Capitol. But, it's expected that it will be moved to Washington D.C. once his tomb is built.

HISTORY

The United States of America was in the midst of a growing labor movement when the Great War finally ended. President Wilson, an anti-labor, began drifting plans to crush the movement before it grew out of control. But then, the Industrial Workers of the World announced a general strike, where all the workers united to get their demands met. Wilson immediately got to work in crushing the strike with help from the military and police departments across the country. Once it became clear how much of a threat the labor movement was, Democrats used both President Harding and Coolidge to start chipping away unions and labor rights.

President Herbert Hoover won the 1929 election with plans on doing the same things, angering the pro-labor movement again. However, he was forced to maintain the European aid mission and subsidies to farmers pushed by his predecessors causing the booms of the twenties. But then, the crash of 1929 happened followed by the Dust Bowl. With those factors, Hoover put an end to the aid mission while attempted to raise agricultural tariffs, but led to the signing of the Tariff Act of 1930. Still, he didn't want the government to be heavily involved since he believed in laissez-faire economics. Many experts expected Hoover to lose his 1932 reelection campaign, which he did.

Even known faith in Hoover was long gone, Americans were still hopeful that a Republican President would undo the damage. Their trust went to one person in particular: Henry Wallace. A farmer from Iowa, Wallace campaigned on the promise of major agricultural reforms and an answer to the anti-labor Democrats. And with the Great Depression getting worst, he won the 1932 election in a landslide. That caused wealthy businessmen and several Democrats to be concerned. So, after Election Day, in the act of desperation, they gathered, discussed, and followed through with a plan that eventually led to the incident known as The Business Plot.

General Douglas MacArthur marched into Washington D.C. and arrested Wallace inside the Capitol Building. Vice President-Elect James LeCron was also arrested at the airfield of Washington Airport by General George Patton. On Inauguration Day, Americans watched in surprise as MacArthur was sworn into a temporary presidency. Left-wing third-parties organized widespread protests in response while almost every member of the Congress and Senate remained silent on the matter. Those that remained vocal in the legislative branch received no responses from MacArthur. Meanwhile, a committee was formed with the task of finding a suitable replacement for the presidency.

After two weeks of discussion, the committee put forward Everett McKee, an unknown right-wing political figure from Oklahoma. The Republican Party denounced the choice and called for a general strike across the nation. But, there were supporters, like Charles Lindbergh and William Pelley, that backed the new president. Infighting occurred in Washington D.C., lasting for three days until the Silver Legion of America (led by William) arrived to establish control. Fearful of arrest and harm, several Republicans, Democrats, and third-party officials fled the city and went into hiding. Their fears were correct when the headquarters of the Socialist Party of America burnt to the ground while their members perished in the fire or were arrested shortly after. Fortunately, most of the members (including the party's leadership) fled the night before. Now in control, President McKee invited Pelley to be his vice president after his performance in the capital. Then, he outlawed third parties in the country, focusing on the SPA and the IWW.

Vice President Pelley incorporated the Silver Shirts and the Black Guard (known as the Black Legion, a popular militia part of the Klan) into the U.S. military. Several military generals were concerned about the indications, including Major General Smedley Butler. Two months after the coup d'état, Butler attempted to assassinate President McKee and Vice President Pelley and free Wallace from prison. The week-long coup d'état failed horribly, resulting in the deaths of Butler and Wallace along with the purge of the military afterward.

The entire purge, known as The Great Cleansing, lasted from 1933 to 1936, which targeted military officials from the army to the air force. It gave more power and influence to the Silver Legion and the Klan throughout the country, especially in the South. When the 1936 election happened, McKee won by a long shot to his Democratic opponent across the country. Although, some suspected that imitation and voter suppression played a major role in his victory. For the second term, President McKee sought to dismantle antitrust laws and empower capitalist policies to combat the Great Depression.

Then, in 1939, a third and final coup d'état was organized by the resistance group using the name "Sons of Liberty." Unlike Butler's Revolt, this coup dealt a devastating blow with McKee's death and Pelley's serious injury. Though, it ended with the resistance fighters killed or arrested by Brigadier General Charles Lindbergh and General Douglas MacArthur. MacArthur offered to maintain the presidency until the 1940 election, which was only a few months away. Everyone hesitated to allow MacArthur to maintain the country again; however, once Lindbergh backed the idea, all of them agreed.

The Republican Party sought out Lindbergh and asked him to be the replacement Republican nominee after learning of Pelley's injuries. Lindbergh accepted the nomination with Gerald Smith becoming the vice present nominee shortly after. Being the first pilot to make a nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean, he was already an icon to the world--including Americans. But his actions during the Savannah Spring only made him more popular with the American people. And the live broadcast of the trials and executions of the Sons of Liberty members boosted that popularity.

And once the dust had settled, President Lindbergh and Vice President Gerald Smith managed to secure enough votes to win the 1940 election (rumors surfaced that they also used imitation and voter suppression). Their first action was to layout the foundations of a new government program with the ultimate goal of ensuring that every American had work. However, the program remained in the drafts because of the potential constitutional issues it faced.

Fifteen years passed; the year is 1955, where Lindbergh and Smith have achieved the longest presidential term in the country's history. And yet, they are still changing the United States. The newly created Federal Security and Intelligence Agency has essentially become secret police with influence from the Legion and Klan. Some argued that FSI was unconstitutional, while the majority, including Lindbergh, established that it wasn't only constitutional but necessary to deal with threats to American values. And it's director, J. Edgar Hoover refuses to testify in the Senate with the support of the Lindbergh administration.

Meanwhile, the mysterious government program is set to finally be revealed on the White House lawn. With the 1956 election getting closer, rumors are spreading that both Democrat and Republican politicians are starting to worry that Lindbergh will seek out a sixth term. But, those in power either only care about themselves or have become too scared to speak up. However, there are rumors of resistance fighters hiding throughout the country, waiting for the day to strike and bring back democracy.

LUNCH BREAK

"Holy shit."

"What?" Jake Elliott turned to his co-worker, Shaun Grant, with a curious look. Both of them were on their lunch break at the local fast-food restaurant. It was nearby the thrift store, and they were tired of being in there. Jake was eating his fries while trying to see what the hell Shaun was watching this time. Hopefully, it wasn't something stupid. He wasn't able to see much, but he did saw the part where the officer opened fire on the woman. In an instant, Jack turned away while Shaun shut off his phone and placed it down on the table. It was when he said "holy shit" again.

"The fuck were you watching?!" Jake asked while throwing his fries away because he couldn't eat anymore after watching the video.

"Well, my friends shared me this link about a nearby shooting. I just... didn't realize it was that bad." Shaun responded. Then, he went to cover his mouth. "I think I'm gonna throw up. Excuse me."

Jake watched as his co-worker rushed towards the bathroom and then stared at the phone. His curiosity got the better of him when he took the phone and began to rewind the video. And once he got to a part that didn't look graphic, he resumed the video. Jake watched as the woman took a beating from a baton and then saw the officer reaching for his gun. That was when he paused the video and placed the phone back to its original spot. He didn't want to see someone getting shot again. But, that footage was bothering him a whole lot. Maybe it wasn't a big deal, he told himself.

After a few minutes, Shaun came out of the bathroom refreshed as he went to grab his phone from the table. He looked at Jake and said, "It's time to go back. You ready?"

"Yeah, let's go." Jake nodded and started making his way back to the thrift store.

In the historic downtown of Baltham, it was busy as usual for small business owners that managed to stand firm against the Zemreaft Mall and the major retailers. Even know it isn't as popular as the modern downtown, people manage to find themselves in this area. There was the well known Kennedy Square Park with its ironic bronze statue of a lion and lioness. Some of the tourists often visit the park to take pictures of the statue while visiting the old town of Baltham. And there was the classic Sweet Bay Hotel designed to look like it was built in the early 1900s despite being constructed in the early 1980s. There were many more landmarks and areas only known to the locals.

Next was the modern downtown filled with offices, technology companies, and commercial districts that rivaled any city on the West Coast. There was the recently opened boardwalk filled with businesses to make tourists spend their money. Despite the boardwalk being small, it was big enough to fit the tallest Ferris wheel on the West Coast called Revolution. Meanwhile, one of the ferries entered the terminal, filled with people from Seattle and nearby cities. Conner Farrell was one of the passengers on board, but he seemed to developed symptoms of food poisoning out of the blue.

He thought that it was weird since he didn't eat much, but he decided to go back home and see if anything changed. It got worse. A few minutes after leaving the ferry, he began to sweat uncontrollably while getting unbearable headaches. It got bad enough that he almost passed out while driving; however, he made it home. His wife, Mia Farrell, was smoking outside when she noticed her husband's car in the distance. She tossed her cigarette to the ground and made her way to the sidewalk to get a closer looker. That was when she noticed him and became extremely concerned.

Mia ran towards the car and saw her husband coughing up a storm. She tried to ask if he was alright but got no response other than a cough. So, she told him to let her park the car while he went inside. Conner understood that something was wrong with him and decided to take her offer. In the distance, neighbor Benjamin Dunnings watched the event unfolding and had thoughts of checking up with them. But, he was distracted by a phone call from his mother.

Fifteens later, a blood-curdling scream echoed across the neighborhood, and it came from the Dunnings household. Everyone, including Benjamin, was wondering what was going while some were calling for help. He realized that they could be in severe danger and raced for the house. It was easy to enter inside since the door was unlocked. He immediately noticed the blood on the wooden floor and had seconds thoughts. But, he blocked them for his mind and followed the blood trail to the living room, where it was a total mess. The table was broken while the couch was covered in blood. It was enough to make Benjamin leave until he heard chewing sounds coming from the kitchen.

He carefully walked into the kitchen and discovered Conner on the ground, eating... his dog. The sight alone was enough to make him throw up in the nearby trash bin. Once he was done throwing his guts up, Benjamin noticed that Conner was standing over the dead dog. He tried to say something but was speechless and scared for his life. Things got worse when Conner turned around to reveal his bloody mouth and started walking towards him. That was when Benjamin ran. He prayed that the authorities were waiting outside the house.

But before he grabbed the door handle, Benjamin heard someone coming down the stairs and turned to see that it was Mia. There was a massive bite mark on the right side of her head enough that the ear was missing. He didn't believe what Conner did to his wife and rushed towards her aid. "Oh, god! We need to get you help!"

Mia only responded with a growl.

Outside, an officer approached the house while another was talking to a neighbor until the door was open. Benjamin tried to say something while dragging towards the officers as Mia was biting down on his neck. The nearby officer ran towards them and tried to pull them apart. That caused her to turn her attention towards the officer and tackled him to the ground. Benjamin attempted to walk back home, but he collapsed in front of the neighbors. And then, Conner walked outside, made his way towards Benjamin, and started eating him. Everyone cried out in terror while some began filming the event with their cell phones.

The other officer ran towards his partner and started beating the woman with his baton. But it was ineffective. Instead, she tried to grab him and bite him; however, he quickly kicked her away. So, with no other choice, he pulled his pistol and took aim. He gave her a final warning, but she kept on walking towards him. And with that, he fired a single shot to the chest. Naturally, a shot to the chest was enough to stop everyone. But, something strange happened. Mia kept on moving towards him without any sign of pain or discomfort. So, he fired another shot and another until she finally dropped to the ground. Then, he fired at Conner until he also dropped dead. That caused most of the crowd to disperse.

The officer was visibility distraught by everything that he did and witnessed and froze in place. Fortunately, backup arrived. Two other officers approached the officer and tried to ask him questions, but he ran towards his dead partner and attempted to wake him up. One of the neighbors had been filming the whole time and decided to post the entire video on their Twitter account. In a matter of minutes, the video blew up and started to spread all over the website. Eventually, it got the media's attention, and they began covering the breaking news. And there was still enough time before lunch ended.
