Lone Star Rising

Having been led to believe that a militant Syrian faction was responsible, the United States wages war against the nation as vengeance for terrorist attacks committed upon three military installations within America. Wanting no part in the overseas combative actions, or any further governing rule as set down from her parent nation, Texas has declared that it will legally separate from the United States. Both actions are to be initiated simultaneously, and will coincide with the first moments of 2027 in the Texas capitol city of Austin. President Jordan Harwell begins the New Year in Washington D.C. feeling the immense weight of having both a foreign war and a now fractured nation occur during his watch, while the wealthy and powerful Samuel Tillman continues to orchestrate his elaborate long term plan for the former lone star state. As Texas ratifies an administrative hierarchy and numerous aspirations into its constitution so that it may move forward as an independent republic, several operatives and their subordinates within Samuel's ?Organization? play a part in the grand scheme. Assigned at the request of President Harwell to a posting within the oval office, Secret Service Agent Health Bishop continues in his personal attempt to unravel the mystery behind the terrorist attacks of November 2026. As the most trusted protectorate of the President, he is able to gather intelligence through a myriad of telephone conversation and meetings while also providing his Commander and Chief with fresh perspectives not typical within the often inflexible beltway.
