What happened

The Volume 2 thread captures the opening attack from inside a federal movement/protection problem rather than a military battlefield. Normal assumptions about route security, communications, backup, and emergency response disappear at the exact moment a cabinet-level official needs them most.

Why the event matters in the wider war

Federal protective movement caught in the synchronized opening attack.

What changes afterward

A routine final workday becomes an improvised protective mission under national-collapse conditions.

Cross-links and downstream significance

Volume 2 home-front opening-night thread.
