+ | AHSCA became subject to more regional peacekeepers. This made the natives nervous, fearing these strange GDI peacekeepers would invade upon them. While the islands remained relatively undisturbed there were still several incidents with strange trespasses. Jets would occasionally fly over the islands and ships would come close to get a look at these mythical islands. This made people increasingly nervous, which lead to Kanami appeals to remove GDI personnel from the region. GDI refused which lead to more and more arguing which ultimately led to the islands being invaded. Independent Hitmen landed on Aurora and took Shino prisoner. Shino peacefully protested the invasion demanding an explanation. She was given none and taken to a military prison. Shino recalls her time in the prison as a horrific experience. | ||
