Chapter 27 - When the Ash Fell like Snow

ODTA had received unprecedented popularity after the nuking of Houston and Austin.

Nobody heard a peep from the Texans and their invasion plans had completely halted, the Colonial States had been sending supplies and ammo over to ODTA preparing for a retaliatory attack, then ODTA passed them along to their allies. The Preppers had begun building an underground command center in Washington park know if Texas were to strike, they'd hit harder than they had before.

The Seasons had begun to shift from late fall to a harsh winter once again. With the Washington Park Super Bunker in its final stage of construction, and the supplies ready to move into the the bunker, the city knew what was to come. By January, Texas would have the means to strike back but with the level of radiation levels still high, the Air units of Houston and Austin would have a difficult time supplying aid to the other units.

Late one evening, the air raid sirens went off, ODTA citizens jumped into action and headed into the super bunker. As the doors closed the sound of explosions shook the town, bombs rained down from the sky, unidentified aircraft flew over head.

The ODTA AA guns returned fire protecting the airspace over and around the Tarmac. However, all the airplane were fortunately away for maintenance in the rural areas of ODTA. hours passed and bombs still rained down from the sky. alarms went silent after the third hour.

As the doors unbolted and opened, flyers littered the ground as the city exited the bunker. The flyers read, "WE ARE NOT YOUR ENEMY, WE ARE THE ENEMY!" stamped by the West Coast Conglomerate. Most of the bombs had leveled the Northern and Western Districts of ODTA and had missed the downtown area, Eastern District, and Southern District. The citizens looked them over as the leaders discussed options.

"The West Coast Conglomerate?" asked Lou-Wats

"Seems they didn't appreciate us fucking with Texas." stated the Busch Hunter

"We need a response, and fast." replied the Ghost

"Agree, no matter what we must make a statement that solidifies our position." reiterated the Ghost

The city began clean up as the sun rose over ODTA, ready to make their statement to the world.
