Tonight's broadcast is brought to you by the company you depend upon for all of your greatest needs, heart life.

These stories are true dramatizations from our fair city's glorious history. So listen and remember, heart life, all the life you'll ever need.

The first day of the fourth quarter of the 488th fiscal cycle, a day forever stained by dishonor. Few alive today

can conceive of the profound injustice visited that evening upon the good policies of heart life.

It was a night of betrayal, a night of terror, a night that would forever more alter the history

of our home, of our heart life.

Picture, if you will, an evening in the tunnels where for once the familiar hum of aged machinery is nearly inaudible.

In its stead swells the rising tide of a thousand voices, reverberating across the subterranean expanse are the sounds of men, women and children, crowded deep within temporary sector

Omega.

Here are gathered all but the most essential of company personnel, eager to witness the dawn

of a new age.

Pressed in, shoulder to shoulder, the high-spirited congregation in circles the massive

expeditionary vessel, the hope of heart life. But unbeknownst to these decent, hard-working

policies, a band of traitors maneuvers in their ranks, A group, dear listener whose very existence is a poison

coursing through the veins of the city. Excuse me. Pardon? Oh, sorry. Excuse me. One side please,

excuse us. Grayson, look, over there, it's Jack. Hey, excuse me Hey! Excuse me. Hey! Jack! Hey, Jack! Shut up, you guys! You want street safe to spot us? I mean, hey, mister.

But they're real sensitive. Like, they go off if you look at them funny, so be real gentle until you're ready to toss them. Get down, you idiots! There's a murder agent! Where? Up there, in the skybox window. Oh, he's got a spyglass. Probably looking for hendersonians like us. Those guys are killers. We should abort the mission.
