The Chief called Miyuki via police radio during a bad storm. "Kobayakawa? I need you and Tsujimoto to direct traffic downtown—"

"We're trying to get there now," Miyuki said over the radio, "but we're already stuck in a traffic jam."

The Chief sighed. "Well, let me see what the 'traffic copter' has to say."

"Don't bother, sir," said Miyuki. "It's grounded, due to bad weather."

"Alright," the Chief said irritably. "Just be sure to stay in touch—"

The police station suddenly lost power and went dark.

I hate it when the Universe conspires against me, the Chief thought to himself.
