Begin the Cleanup!

Day 2 – 0300 Hours.

The battle for the SM MOA Complex was over, but the work had only just begun. The aftermath of the operation left streets, hallways, and buildings littered with rotting corpses, burned remains, and pools of coagulated blood. The stench of decay mixed with the lingering scent of gunpowder and burnt flesh, creating a suffocating atmosphere.

Standing at the center of the mall atrium, Thomas issued his next command.

"Initiate the cleanup operation. I want this entire area secured and cleared by 0800 hours. All fire teams, burn the bodies. Engineers, assess structural integrity. Medics, prepare triage for any survivors."

0305 Hours.

The "Firewall" team, led by Captain Mason, began setting up controlled burn pits around the complex. The sheer volume of corpses required multiple incineration sites, with soldiers stacking bodies onto makeshift pyres built from broken furniture, wooden pallets, and debris.
