The streets of the capital, with their cobblestones pavement in the historic avenues that run as the main arteries of the city, are wet by a relentless rain that seems to give no respite for two days. There is an ancient saying about the city; All the roads lead to Tibur, and it is in a certain sense the reality, all the roads seem to converge on the historic center of the city, where today the Parliament of the Republic resides. The rain beats on the roofs of the houses, is channeled towards the gutters and carried to the street, where the manholes have been opened to allow the extraordinary flow of rainwater.
"We couldn't have asked for a better day, the rain is favorable to us." said the man driving his van as he traveled along the imperial avenue towards the parliament.​
"It looks like we have luck on our side, at least for this time." The man sitting on the passenger side answered and he lit a cigarette. The smoke and the strong smell of burnt tobacco began to fill the cabin of the van, but it didn't seem to disturb the driver. The man took a pocket watch out of his raincoat to check the time. "Do not exceed the speed limit, we are on time, we must not attract the attention of the police. I would not want to make it all fail for a fine."​
The vehicle continued its run up to the steps of the parliament, where two guardsmen were present outside under the incessant rain. A guard approaches the pearl white van whose sides were written "National Electric Company" in dark green. Inside were two men, one on the passenger side, intent on smoking a nearly finished cigarette, and the driver. The guard knocked on the driver's window, and waited for him to lower it, to ask the reason for the stop.

"Agent, we're from the power company, we've been called, wait a second..." the man began to look in a stack of papers, a document in particular, some papers falling to the ground in the van, before he took one and showed it to the guard. "Here, this is the document of the call and the permit for work on the closing day of parliament."

The guard took the sheet and read it, a few drops of rain fell on the paper and wet it, while the guard was intent on reading its contents. Once the reading was finished, the guard handed the document back to the driver and gave him a hand sign to continue towards the underground parking lot. As he did so, he turned to his colleague and gestured for him to raise the bar and let them pass.

"It was easy" said the man sitting on the passenger side as he put out his cigarette in the ash can. The van's motor started in and the vehicle moved towards the underground parking.​

"General, everything is ready, as you ordered, we have positioned the devices in the key points of the building. They shouldn't be noticed until the last moment."

A middle-aged man's voice was slightly distorted by the telephone he was calling with. The call came from one of the few bars in the capital frequented by Tibur's high society. One of the first places to have had the financial capacity and interest in installing the telephone for its customers.

"Perfect, Tomorrow will be a day that will be written in Remion's history. You have done your duty, go back to the barracks and start preparing for tomorrow. We should get around quickly. We would shake this nation from its clay foundation"

The day after the explosion inside the army base, South Department

"You see, Major, today is a special day, we are about to begin a series of events that will lead our nation to regain what is our right, the Sea. Those government representatives, who in their flag-dropping ceremonies full of false bows and handshakes, believe they can put to rest the spirit of the soldiers and the navy, a spirit that has existed for two millennia." As he spoke, the man got up from his chair and began to dress, starting with the jacket they were affixed to beyond the rank of the army, further commendations received during the war. "Foreign imperialists, strengthened by their victory, impose on us inaudible conditions. But what did they expect? What would we Remis do? Have they cornered a Wolf and are surprised that he bites? They are as foolish as those who sit in Tibur. Now they are engulfed in flames, while we, soldiers, will march and take back what is ours."
"Yes General" The Major presses the cap from the desk which shows the rank of Divisional General and he give it to the General. "General, we have had confirmation that the men of the former Royal Navy will join us."
The General took his cap and put it on his head, with a quick movement he adjusted the insignia on the uniform and cleaned the medals of valor. "Major, what fantastic news, it was to be expected, those men suffered defeat most of all. Our enemies have tried to deprive the wolf of its teeth and claws, but have only created a hungrier and angrier people who have nothing more to lose. Today we honor those who died a few years ago, or we will join them in the battle of the heavens with the ancient gods of Remion."
The general took his overcoat and went outside the building, where a vehicle was already waiting for him, ready to take him to his next direction. The Major followed him like a shadow and gave orders to the men who passed him. All actions that were natural to man and which presaged a certain experience of the officer. Before they both got into the car, the general paused for a second to survey the surrounding area of the barracks. The area was full of men, some of them were already marching towards the border, others were busy with the supply line, supplying the trucks with food and ammunition.

"Let's go"
