A dramatic script to start the game.

INTERIOR: Midday, a stuffy room with one sole cubicle under dim fluorescent light.

A woman sits at a long black desk lined with various papers and flash drives. Three computer monitors link to a heavy laptop humming loudly. A police scanner on the desk's edge suddenly buzzes with static and broken speech bursting in pieces.

(Male Voice):

O...py?...Co...py?...Hell-... llo?...Do...you...copy?...Copy? Hello?

(Woman):

Roger…Roger...Hello? Hello? This is Marshall. Do you copy? Murphy? Repeat. Go for Marshall.

The woman tunes the scanner as she talks. The scanner finally comes in clear.

(Murphy):

Copy. Oh great I got through. Marshall I got some updates. I'm sending them now.

(Marshall):

Copy that. Let me check.

Marshall rolls over to her laptop clicking loudly. One of the large monitors changes to project Marshall's emails. She finds Murphy's message to download numerous files.

(Marshall):

Is this everything?

(Murphy):

Everything I can muster for now. It's not just quarantine over here, this is a mandatory lockdown.

(Marshall):

You are on a secure line right?

(Murphy):

I wouldn't be doing my job right if I were followed. This is my investigation just as much as yours.

(Marshall):

Well there's also those play detectives on TikTok out there as well.

(Murphy):

Those play detectives are actually pretty good for the record. But I hear you.

(Marshall):

How much digging were you able to do?

(Murphy):

Enough to know there's something going on. How about the WHO?

(Marshall):

Barely any leads there. It leads me to Congress which I can't really tackle now.

(Murphy):

But you can tackle them right?

(Marshall):

Give me something to use on them and I can.

(Murphy):

I just gave you a bunch. Just sort through it.

(Marshall):

It's not enough.

(Murphy):

It's gonna have to be. I can't tell you what I've seen. You just need to decipher what's in the files. But it should-...

Murphy suddenly cuts off.
