Call from National Guard

Call from National Guard is a Scripted Call Incident featured in 911 Operator. This call occurs only at the very end of the Boston Riots, and is accompanied by several military Armored Vans appearing at north-east edge of the map and driving in a convoy to the city center.

The conversation consists of a National Guard commander ordering all police units in the city to withdraw. Refusing to obey his orders results in failing the Duty automatically, no matter how many Reputation points you've earned.

Opening Line[]

The phone conversation starts automatically as soon as the call is triggered.

Speaker	Line
Caller	INCOMING TRANSMISSION . . . "National Guard to the Boston Emergency Dispatch Center, over!"
Operator	"EDC, here. Go ahead National Guard."
Caller	"The mayor has requested National Guard units provide civil disturbance control. Under that authority we are taking over command. Have all police units fall back to their respective stations and await further orders."

Reputation[]

This call is unique with regards to reputation, for several reasons:

A reward of 5 Reputation points is set as soon as the call is triggered, but it always resets to 1 when you reach the "good" ending of the phone call.
You'll receive 20 Reputation for reaching the "bad" ending of the phone call, but that won't help at all: the "bad" ending triggers an effect that causes you to lose -200 Reputation and be fired.
The Ignore Reputation penalty is set to -100, meaning that you will almost certainly fail the entire Duty if you IGNORE this call.

Plot[]

This call has only one plot with two possible endings, selected entirely by the operator's dialogue choices.

The call's plot concludes the Boston Riots, and assumes that they got so bad that the National Guard had to be called - whether or not the player had actually been able to control the riots effectively up to that point.

NOTE: This plot has no location on the map. It will end as soon as the phone conversation ends; and so will the current Duty.

Summary[]

The Boston Riots continue to escalate, causing severe damage to the city. In desperation, the Mayor of Boston has decided to call the National Guard to aid in quelling them.

A convoy of armored trucks arrive in the city, as the Emergency Dispatch Center receives a call from the military unit's commander. He instructs the emergency dispatchers to recall all police units to their stations immediately, to be replaced by National Guardsmen.

The 911 operator fears that the National Guard's presence would only escalate things further, and result in needless loss of life; but is subordinated to the mayor's decision, and is forced to accept. Police units are ordered to withdraw.
