Kennison State University Pool

Blueprints seized in the Iowa raid map the pool at KSU as the next target in the Patriot Brotherhood's bombing scheme. Pipes, fuses, and diagrams target this aquatic space packed with swimmers slicing through lanes, coaches barking from the deck, and crowds filling bleachers under harsh lights. Chlorine hangs thick; echoes bounce off tiled walls. Federal intervention halts devastation here, sparing screams, smoke, and blood in the water after the arena's prior blasts.
