The breeding cult launched their attack on Seattle five days after the siege at Terminal City began. It was easier than anticipated to seize control of the city, despite the number of military in the area and the heightened state of alert among the city police. All eyes were on the transgenics' compound, and the city was caught by surprise. Strategic sites were stormed and taken within the hour – city hall, police headquarters, sector checkpoints. Once the cult had control of the sector police weaponry, they sent the hover drones out to disperse the crowds and clear the streets. A lot of civilians died in the onslaught.

The transgenics were blamed, which was hardly surprising, given how the city felt about the transgenics at the time.
