Possible Bomb (2)

Possible Bomb (2) is the second of two Scripted Call Incidents of the same name featured in 911 Operator. In this call, the 911 operator speaks with a security guard who's heard about the bombings and has some suspicions about a car parked outside his building.

This is the third Scripted Call in a series of calls that will only play out in Career Mode, Washington D.C., Duty 3.

Plot[]

This call has only one storyline. It continues from another plot, Possible Bomb (1), which is always the call right before this one. It is likely that you will get this call while still dealing with the previous one.

The next call will always be Bomber.

Summary[]

With two bombs having exploded in the city, citizens are starting to get on edge. A security guard calls 911 to report that he has spotted a suspicious car parking outside the building he's guarding. It is parked in a restricted area where no car should be, no one has seen who parked the car, and none of the security cameras are pointed in that direction.

All of these suspicious signs lead the operator to conclude that it's better to be safe than sorry. He instructs the guard to activate the fire alarm, but asks him to remain calm and not cause a panic. The residents clear the building as emergency units arrive, discovering a bomb inside the vehicle, which they rapidly disarm.

On Site[]

or		POSSIBLE BOMB (2)
Element	Name	Actions			Notes
	Security officer (caller)		Interrogate		Always male.
	Car bomb		Tech Work	300 sec.	On Resolve: Disable Timer. Disable Evacuation.
	Timer			60 sec.	On Expiry: Bomb effect (see below). Disable Car bomb. Disable Evacuation. Enable Blown up car.
	Resident (1)				Resolved by default.
	Resident (2)				Resolved by default.
	Resident (3)				Resolved by default.
	Resident (4)				Resolved by default.
	Resident (5)				Resolved by default.
	Evacuation		Tech Work	200 sec.	On Resolve: Disable Resident (1). Disable Resident (2). Disable Resident (3). Disable Resident (4). Disable Resident (5).
Initially disabled elements (may become active depending on conversation or other events)
	Roughed up man		Hit Points	60	Always male.
	Blown up car		Tech Work	200 sec.

This is a complicated On Site scenario, with several moving parts that interact with one another, and a unique effect that is still not completely understood.
On arrival, units will find the suspicious vehicle as well as the security guard, who must be questioned by police.
If the guard has not been instructed to evacuate the building, there will be 5 people still inside. They are all Resolved by default, and do not require any interaction... at first.
If the guard was instructed to evacuate the building and warn everyone, this will cause a panic which adds a sixth, lightly-injured man to the scene. This man must be treated for injuries, but does not need to be transported to hospital.
The "Evacuation" element is an obstacle that requires 200 seconds of Tech Work. Once it's cleared, all five Residents will be removed from the scene permanently. The injured man and the security guard will remain on scene, however, which is extremely important if the bomb goes off (see below).
The Car Bomb takes 300 seconds of Tech Work to disarm. If this is successful, the timer is removed, as will the Evacuation element. This should be quite doable even with just a single firefighting squad on the scene. If you cannot make it happen fast enough, concentrate on Evacuating the building instead.
The timer will expire 120 seconds after the start of the phone conversation. If it is allowed to run out, several things will happen simultaneously:

The car explodes, requiring 200 seconds of Tech Work to clear out.
Any civilian still on the scene (including the security guard and roughed up man, neither of whom can be removed beforehand) has a chance to lose some or all of their Hit Points, becoming injured, heavily injured, or dead.
Any emergency workers (police, medical, firefighters) who are attempting to disarm the bomb when the timer runs out will be injured or killed, requiring similar treatment to the civilians. This happens even if the Evacuation has been completed, so it's important to remove all crew members from the Car Bomb element if it is about to go off.

The chance of each person to be injured, heavily injured or killed is not fully known at this time.
