Doomsday Prophecy Page #3

Guy who dropped it off

paid me 20 bucks.

You're lucky.

Otherwise, I'd make you order lunch.

- When did you get this?

- Three days ago.

I didn't even know I was coming

three days ago.

Hello. Hello.

- Sam, it's Eric.

- Yeah, Fox, is that you?

Hey, Sam, can you hear me?

Where the hell are you,

and did you get the manuscript?

Yeah, look,

I'm at the address.

Crane isn't here, and he left

me this handwritten map.

Sam, hold on a second.

- What? I can't hear you.

- Whoa, are you feeling that?

Whoa, we got a bit

of a tremor happening.

- I can't hear a word you're saying.

- Sam.

We're evacuating the building.

It's another earthquake.

Sam, can you hear me?

Let me call you back

when I get downstairs.

Sam.

Sam, Sam, are you okay?

Sam, can you hear me?

Sam!

Sam!

Sam, are you there?

As you all know, we're experiencing

major tectonic disturbances.

I can now report

we've found a correlation.

This is Earth's

solar system in orbit

around the galactic equator.

Just as our Earth has an equator,

so does our solar system

and our galaxy.

Every 26,000 years,

the solar system's equator aligns

with the galactic equator.

Up until this morning,

all research pointed

to this being

completely harmless.

We now know New York

and the Black Sea are related

to this celestial event.

We're predicting this

tectonic activity will increase

as we get closer

to the galactic equator.

Has this report

been released?

Only internally. I wish I had more

information for you, General Slate,

but the entire team

is working on it,

and, I promise, you'll be briefed...

...as soon as we learn more.

- Excuse me.

Crane would've seen

this coming.

Instead of using his psychic power

for his country,

he hides while New York crumbles

and thousands die.

If we find him,

do you think he'll cooperate?

He didn't 10 years ago.

I doubt that he will now,

but if we can get our hands

on that unpublished manuscript...

...we can prepare

for what's coming down the pipe.

- Give ourselves a fighting chance.

- Excuse me, General.

Garcia.

What's his name?

Mobilize an extraction team

and wait for my orders.

We just picked up

a call from Eric Fox.

He's an employee

at the Sidwell Publishing House.

He's going to meet Crane.

- Where?

- Saltwood, British Columbia.

You've reached Sam Lowell

with the joke of the day.

How many publishers does

it take to change a lightbulb?

Three. One to change it,

two to hold down the author.

Leave your name and number.

Sam, it's Eric. Come on, buddy,

you gotta call me back.

I'm worried about you. I just want

to know what the hell's going on.

We interrupt this broadcast

with breaking news.

We have just verified the report
