Moscow, 1984.
Under a grand and loud orchestral performance of the Soviet anthem, a grand parade is currently ongoing. The Soviet Union, an undisputed hegemon of this new world, has seemingly achieved total triumph in the Third Great War, the national humiliation suffered during the Second finally avenged as both continental Europe and the territories of the former United States cower before the powerful MIDAS ICBMs, whose armed delivery vehicles are now rolling down the Red Square...
Slavyana, a proud smile on her face, marches in lockstep behind you, her face looking the proudest she's ever been as her blue eyes overlook the bystanders and even Premier Romanov himself, who is waving to the marching Soviet troops.
Suddenly, a series of loud explosions rock Moscow. The orchestra stops mid-performance. And so does your column.
For a few moments, an uneasy silence ensues as Slavyana uses the opportunity to tap you on the shoulder and ask, "Comrade, what's going o-"
Before she can finish, Epsilon driller APCs suddenly start emerging straight from under the parade grounds, depositing PsiCorps infantry as the Red Square—no, MOSCOW ITSELF—erupts into chaos, as PsiCorps legions invade Russia's capital from beneath its very soil, deploying their MCVs all across Moscow, while Premier Romanov flees the scene.
Meanwhile, at the Square, a blazing hot orange Armor Rupturing Object was almost sent flying your way... until Slavyana gunned down the Epsilon archer who was aiming at you with a quick burst from her PPSH.
"STOP YOUR DAWDLING, COMRADE, WE HAVE TO GET, SUKA, AWAY FROM HERE!" She shouts at you, her frantic shaking of your body forcing you to quickly relapse from shock.
