snipingyourfail[We start our feed with a sight well-known by mission-goers- the view of a string of monitors in the Death Room providing read-outs and two wire-frame pictures - city maps - among almost far too much information to be seen by one pair of eyes alone. But one woman was, and for a moment she is half-turned away, a frown barely creasing her lips.]
Good afternoon, students and agents. For those of you new to the city, I am Azusa, one of this world's Deathscythes, overseeing the war's proceedings. Unfortunately, this video doesn't come bearing good news.
I've just received two calls of distress in Central America requesting our aid, namely in Costa Rica and Honduras. A state of emergency has been officially declared, and an evacuation has begun. The capital cities of both regions have become unstable, the levels of Madness within rendering them currently uninhabitable. Kishin Egg levels are high, no doubt drawn to the panic.
Our mission is to see to the evacuation's success, minimizing casualties, and driving off the threat. To see this operation through, I request the assistance of each and every able-bodied Meister/Weapon pair, and medics to see to injured civilians and fighters. Because of the severity of the situation, it is prudent that we depart to assist as soon as possible.
The mirror network is currently in the process of set-up. The soonest they will be ready is dawn tomorrow, when we may begin.

...The distress call also mentioned witch sightings, but did not specify how many. Should I touch base and learn the number, you will all be informed well before the mission begins.
Until then, do your best to rest well tonight. You might need it.
