Zoronov Armory
Downtown Tirovgrad
State of Buraniya
Kryobaijan
Zoronov Armory, a crumbling stone tower two blocks south of the Tirovgrad city hall, was an iconic edifice in Kryobaijani history. In 1936, during the last days of the Kryobaijani monarchy, king Leonid III took refuge in the Armory while the leftist partisans of Boris Fyodorovich roamed the streets of Tirovgrad. The king's hiding place was not secret for long, as some of Leonid's personal bodyguards revealed his location to the revolutionaries. The subsequent execution of Leonid III and the deposition of the monarchy concluded the Kryobainani Communist Revolution, and began a new age under the KCP. Since then, the building had been renovated numerous times and preserved as a historical landmark. Despite this, the Zoronov Armory exuded a perpetual aura of decay. Vines crept over the dissolving outer masonry of the tower, and the wrought iron and stone wall that surrounded the building had fragmented and cracked.
This had not stopped the Kryobaijani People's Revolutionary Guard from making the Armory its temporary headquarters in Tirovgrad. The Revolutionary Council's elite military cadre had been tasked with eliminating the remaining Kryobaijani Communist Party forces from Tirovgrad, and restoring order in the Vradlan-majority city. In cooperation with the Buraniya State Police, the Tirovgrad Police Department and the KPA, the KPRG had managed to destroy the last of the KCP's heavy weaponry and major bases of operation. But vicious guerilla attacks with small arms and acts of sabotage kept the Intersectionalist forces on the defensive for the moment. Sandbags, barbed wire, and machine gun posts now surronded the Armory, and several APCs and armored cars were parked in the motor pool.
The intense irony of the Armory's occupation by the KPRG was not lost on USSK Director of Security and Investigation, Vyaschleslav Gridenkov, as he sat by one of the windows in the Armory's ornate dining room and stared outside into the pouring rain. He idly leafed through the security briefing that had been created for the Sandown Security Solutions delegate, as he waited for them to arrive. He had risked the trip to Tirovgrad to specially meet with the Cornavians, as the situation in the USSK's northeastern states was grave enough to warrant the full attention of the Revolutionary Council.
The patter of the raindrops on the window pane was interrupted by a knocking on the door to the dining hall. A KPRG officer entered the room.
"Director, the Cornavians have arrived."
"Good, show them in," Gridenkov replied.
