- The Freedom of Justice Memorial Garden. A spectacular circular public area filled to the brim with all assortments of natural and artificially created types of flowers, trees, and other plant life. In the center is the crown jewel of the garden and the city of Ottawa itself: a 5-meter tall marble statue of Thomas Scott, otherwise known as the Warmonger "Freedom of Justice", that was dedicated to the fallen Canadian.
- Next to the statue, a father is busy trying to set up a picture of his wife and young daughter with his datapad; the two of them begin to grow quite impatient as the father struggles to figure out how to properly take the photograph.
- (Daughter): Dad, just swipe to the camera feature and the datapad will auto-adjust!
- (Mother): George, really, you need to keep up with technology today!
- (Father): Alright, alright, now I got it! Aaaaannnnndddd.............
- As the father readies the datapad's camera feature, something in the sky catches his attention; he begins to pan upwards and slowly moves the focus away from his family. The mother and daughter are visibly annoyed at this. Suddenly, the father drops the datapad on the ground.
- Before the pair can react, the father turns their attention around to the sky behind them. Once they see what he's pointed out, they make a swift run for the exit. Soon enough, other visitors look up towards where the father of the family was staring and follow in that family's footsteps towards the exit.
- High in the sky, a bright light shines and continues to grow brighter and louder. Just before it reaches blinding levels of brightness, the object in the sky suddenly makes landfall and crashes into the very center of the memorial garden. The impact creates an enormous explosion that rushes to upwards of nearly a kilometer in diameter, instantly vaporizing nearly everything caught in the radius and leaving nothing but charred skeletons, melted machines, and several collapsed buildings.
- The blast concludes as quickly as it began, leaving a barren wasteland in the middle of the city. Military forces who were stationed in the city and survived the initial impact begin to move into the exclusion zone; they make their way to ground zero of the destruction.
- A huge crater is now the centerpiece of Ottawa; only the head of the statue dedicated to Freedom of Justice remains. As G.U.D. soldiers of both Human and Synthetic variety close in on the crater, quakes are felt throughout the ground.
- All of a sudden, huge roots burst out of the ground from the initial impact point; enormous rock-like petals spiral out of ground zero, forming the central basis of a Legion colony: the Centurion. Immediately after, pure oxygen gas wafts from within the cone of petals of the enormous plant, and an electromagnetic disturbance shuts down all manner of electrical equipment.
- The vast majority of communications and measuring equipment are shorted out, including several weapon systems and Synthetic personnel. Soon after, the oxygen gas spreading from the Centurion flower hits the Human soldiers not wearing protective masks hard, poisoning their systems and incapacitating them nearly instantaneously.
- Military forces begin to fire upon the Centurion with whatever weapon systems are still active; they start to slowly break off small chunks of the rocky exterior. All of a sudden, the ground begins to shake once more. However, instead of more plant roots, huge swathes of the insect-like Legionary workers burst out from beneath to assault the G.U.D.'s military personnel.
- Both sides are now engaged in a bloody conflict. The Legionaries are quickly overtaking the G.U.D. military; their sheer numbers make up for however many may be cut down by whatever remains of the Humans' weapons.
- The Legionaries' powerful pincers shred heavily armored vehicles and rip apart the infantry with as much ease as a toddler tearing apart its toys.
- Countless bodies and destroyed vehicles begin to pile up; the G.U.D. military forces finally sound the retreat. The Legionaries chase them down for several hundred meters, but at the edge of the wasteland left in the wake of their arrival, they cease the chase and return to the Centurion; they swiftly assess and repair any damage done to it in the short battle.
- With the majority of the local military eliminated, city officials who managed to escape the carnage officially declare the city an exclusion zone to be cordoned off by the Global Union of Division's military arm until the crisis has been averted.
