"Oh no!!" One of them exclaimed
"What if we start an evacuation?" Said another
"Even if we do it will take us a month to transport like 4 crore people." Chief said
"So its okay to just sit here and let the meteor strike and let it kill 4 crore people?" Another man said
"No, we won't sit here and do nothing." Chief said as he moved to the next slide "what you're watching right now is an opening of the meteor, its the meteor's only weak point. Our plan is to send a missile into its center which will thus break the meteor into two and it's path will get diverged and will go around the Earth instead of straight at it. But for that we need a missile with 200 power and we need to blow it up before the meteor crosses the safe zone. Once it crosses the safe zone, the meteor gets diverged due to the missile but will still hit straight at us."
"Your math is correct Chief. Just one problem. Where are we going to get a missile with such power?" One of the people questioned
"We have that planned too" Priya said "We are gonna get them from the black market."
A huge gasp spreaded throughout the room.
"Mam, do you realize what you're saying? We are the defence of India and we go to the black market?" A military official, Ravi, asked
"Ravis's right mam, how can we do this?" Said Lux, another military official.
"We have no other choice but to try it." Said Chief.
"Now if you'll excuse us, Chief and I have some preparations to make." Priya said as she and Chief left the room
Chief and Priya started making phone calls for the perfect missile.
"I know the perfect guy" Chief said as he dialed the number. It began to ring
"Hello" said a hoarse voice
"Hello" Chief responded "we are looking for a missile around 200 power. Do you know any?"
"WHAT!!!! why do you want that much power? Do you know what you're asking? With such a missile you can destroy a whole country." He exclaimed
"Just answer us, yes or no?" Chief asked sternly
"Sorry, but there's no such missile ever created."
"Then we don't need you, thank you" Chief said as he was about to hang up.
"No wait!!! I think I know one" he said over the phone as he gave all the details.
Priya and Chief returned to the discussion room where all the people were shook about the situation.
"So we found the missile." Chief announced
"Yes we did" Priya said in a quite cheerful mood.
"So where is it?" Ravi asked
"Its quite obvious that they wouldn't keep a 200 power missile in an open area, no one can find it. But we found just the spot." Chief said
"Where?" Lux asked
" it's disguised as a satellite " Priya hinted
"Wait.... Satellite? " Lux asked
"You don't mean..... " Ravi started
" You're right Ravi, the missile is in space." Chief said
