Within The Palais Bourbon. Several high officers are grouping around a table to discuss what happened. 

Vice Chairman: Twenty minutes ago, an energy surge knocked out power across the entire Atlantic Northeast. What do we know?

Navy Chief: Well, our first instinct was it was an EMP. But electromagnetic pulses don't have that kind of power.

Air Force Chief: NASA has ruled out meteor strikes or solar flares.

Homeland Security Secretary: The Department of Energy says it's not a power plant malfunction.

Vice Chairman: Well, sounds like we're really good at figuring out what it wasn't.

Army Chief: This could be a prelude to a larger attack. I'm suggesting we scramble the Fifth and Sixth Regiment...

Vice Chairman: No, no, no, no... This needs a much more sophisticated mind. Someone who understands technology.

Army Chief: You wanna send in a lab rat?

Air Force Chief: I can't believe you're bringing that freak into this.

Vice Chairman: Neither can I. But... we have no choice.
