The attack on Ral Anderson's federal detention cell came at 2:14 AM on a Wednesday, executed with precision that suggested military training and inside intelligence about facility security protocols. Four men in correctional officer uniforms that were perfect forgeries moved through corridors with key cards that should not have existed, disabling cameras and neutralizing actual guards with tranquilizer darts that left no lasting damage but created fifteen-minute window of opportunity.
Ral woke to his cell door opening electronically, red emergency lighting casting everything in hellish illumination that made identifying friend versus foe nearly impossible. The lead figure entering wore officer uniform but moved with combat operative's efficiency that no actual corrections staff possessed.
