General 1 Has the President been informed of the situation?
General 2 Yes the secretary of defense has briefed her on everything we know so far.


Panel 2 We see what looks to be large board room. We can tell from the backdrop that this must bee the situation room in the Whitehouse. There is a large group of people sitting around the table. While several more are walking through the entrance. At the head of the table is a yellow haired woman. We assume this is the president.
President Welcome gentlemen.

Panel 4 We see a female face filled with concern her eyes are almost filled with tears, from the close up we can tell that Hilary Clinton won the Election and is now president
CAP From the flash that was reported over New York during the ceremony this morning all we can assume is that a thermonuclear device was detonated in the atmosphere and the subsequent blackout is most likely the result of an electro magnetic pulse.

Panel 2 Another panoramic view of the room and again the general at the podium speaks.
General 1 One of the last things on the recording was one of the astronauts asking the other if it came from Korea, we did not hear a response but from the size of the blast it seems to be much larger than any kiloton any country has on record.


Panel 3 We see the same view and a voice coming from one of the people at the table.
Man 1 So what’s the worst we are looking at?


Panel 4 We see another man’s head, he’s balding and holding his glasses close to his face.

Offscreen God help us.
