The giant screens in Mantle play a message from Ironwood, while a woman in a red coat nervously carries her child across a street.

Ironwood: Citizens of Mantle - Following the most recent Grimm attack, a temporary prohibition of assembly is in place.

The woman holds her child in a more protective manner and watches as three Mantas fly overhead.

Some buildings in the city have soldiers stationed atop their roofs.

Ironwood: There are to be no public gatherings of any kind. Please conduct your business and return to your homes before curfew.

Two of the children Mercury previously escorted to school are hiding behind a dumpster in an alleyway, while a soldier and a camera drone pass by.

Ironwood: This is for your own safety.

Two soldiers walk out from behind a corner and see two civilians walking along a sidewalk.

Patrol: Hey, stop right there!

Civilian: Run.

The two civilians run away, and the soldiers pursue them.

Patrol: Stop running! Wait!

Metal bars cover nearby TV screens, which are playing a news broadcast that shows Arthur Watts' edited footage of the attack at Robyn Hill's party.

Newscaster: Though military officials have gone on record to say the footage was doctored, many citizens are still insisting that the Protector of Mantle be deactivated.

An armored truck drives past the TV's and continues on its way down the road, while Robyn, Joanna and Fiona follow it via the rooftops. The Atlesian Knight-200 drivers bring the truck to a screeching halt when they find May standing in its path.
