## Prelude

It was the first time in Eden history that a flower shop had garnered the attention of almost all of its citizen for a wonderful night of formal rendezvous. Preparations seem to have paid off, and the attendance of both the elite and lower class proved that the event had become an absolute hit.

It's often a rare sight to see the difference of power and wealth intermingle with one another. Besides, who could turn down a free pass through the Inner Gate for the ones living in the Red Sector?

The Lily's Garden Shop staff alongside Jellybot greeted every guest at the entrance. Everyone was dressed to the nines, looking their absolute best and even with a touch of artistic expression for a good handful few. Everyone had their floral brooches on them, each having their own agenda and they all wasted no time to get to it.

Beautiful music filled the air, patrons took over the dance floor, delicious hors d'oeuvre and glasses of the finest champagne roamed around to be handed out, and the atmosphere was simply just right.

## The ECPD Raid

There had been ongoing investigation on the notorious leader of Knife Street, Eyeless, that's been long overdue, and the crime lord had a knack for staying under the radar - so much so to lose connection from the S-IC trackers. And despite it being such a well-known public event, the male had still showed up. Several Eden City Polizei Department operatives had been sent there to in secret to keep eye on the guests, and ensure that a brawl doesn't start.

The sting operation included a **Decapitation** measure - a word used by the Eden City Polizei Departmentto describe a particular breaching measure where one or more armored vehicles use their battering rams to smash through concrete walls with excessive force. An operation that's been ruled out by a higher-up of the department.

Amongst a night of enjoyable festivities came to a short when the dainty flower shop turned into absolute shambles as pieces of concrete, roofing, and other debris fell onto guests. Guns firing in several directions at chummers who were running away mistaken as the honcho attempting to flee.

It had been the end of a beautiful wintry night.

## Aftermath

A whopping total of 240 people had been killed from the devastating rumble, 140 were severely injured, and 16 had gone missing only to have been later found in chunks and pieces after a search and rescue operation.

The fall of Lily's Garden Shop had been a heartbreak to all, especially the young owner Kim Dorae who considered the place his own home.

The Eden City Polizei Department had received horrible feedback on the massacre they've done, getting criticized by citizens and questioning their abilities to protect and serve their city. Several riots had kickstarted outside of all the Polizei branches in both sectors, demanding proper answer and reason for their horrible apathetic decision.

The council made an announcement for a false call of the sting operation, as their systems had been hacked into and an impersonator of the Commissioner who made the call.

This has since been undergoing investigation.
