He stops as all the screens in the room lose picture, to bereplaced a moment later by satellite footage from Edgar’sfarm.

SENATOR HASKELL:

Looks like we’re having a meltdown of

our own

BUNTING:

That’s satellite imagery of EdgarRoy’s farm...I’ve been there...

Quantrell and Foster both react.

SENATOR HASKELL:

What are you saying Mister Bunting?

If you’re behind this

BUNTING:

I assure you Senator, I’m as surprisedas you are... This is a Q-Techsatellite feed - one of Mister
