Somewhere, U.S.A.
The USA Corporation Headquarters board room.

Silence.
Motionless.

A large oval, thick, mahogany table sits in the middle of a dark oval shaped board room. Sitting around the table are twelve men...all impeccably dressed in designer cut suit and ties...all white. Ranging in age from fifty to seventy-five, the men are all looking at large glass monitor on one of the walls.

Silence.
Motionless.

As the press conference concludes, the screen goes black. No one turns away. No one speaks. No one moves. A single sentence fades up on the monitor,

    "PHASE ONE IS COMPLETE."

Silence.
Motionless.
