==Trivia==
When the Second Story first cuts to the [[Sedra City Market]], it is mistakenly labeled as the [[Sedra Colonial Guard Hospital]]. The time is also placed at 0955 hours, despite the scene clearly taking place before the attack. However, the subtitles correctly label the scene's location and time.
