> The central component to any heist, as most media will happily assure you, is a large team of highly trained and specialized individuals. Without this who could possibly execute any plan with more than 12 independent tasks all required to succeed? Truly only the most unimaginative of individuals would attempt any form of heist that relied instead upon expediency and efficiency. - Excerpt from the memoirs of Jim Davis, a thief of no particular success or note.

It began, as most things do, with a huge explosion. Shrapnell whizzing through the air, a shockwave hammering through walls, demolishing the block. Countless thousands were injured, and hundreds more dead. Most curiously of all, a few dozen of the local heroes mysteriously vanished, presumed dead although their bodies were never found. It should be noted that scholars believe this to be, in fact, completely inaccurate. There exists no historical record of any such destruction in Azin City within an entire month of the date in question, and the disappearance of so many heroes would almost certainly have been noticed and recorded. However this record is taken almost entirely from the first-hand account of the anomaly in question, and as such may be coloured from the anomly's particular habits. Regardless it is generally agreed that the beginning was some time within the month Anais, at 222 2nd Street.

According to the record at hand, this huge explosion was either the result of some highly intricate heist, plotted by one of the most dastardly and secretive villains ever to exist, or the result of a typographical error in the asset reclamation department of the local headquarters of banking conglomerate Danztile International Corporation. The latter interpretation of the text was often dismissed as a misinterpretation due to the poor calligraphy demonstrated by the anomaly, a conclusion further reinforced by the sheer absurdity of the claim, but has since been reconsidered as more of the anomaly's account has been uncovered, and at the anomaly's own insistence.
