Societal Rebirth

Scene One

The scene starts with a simple zoom in on buildings, beautiful class structures you would see in bigger cities. The camera glides the over the city and glances over the houses and stores in the city. People are laughing, and the noon crisp air is delightful for everyone. Suddenly the peace is disturbed a big bang is heard, and they sky grows temporarily dark and vastly bright for a viewer on the street. The screen goes black and we rewind to a week prior to the task.

[In the Dark]

Martin: It’s been a while since I’ve done a high priority case, do you really need to have this done?

Shady Voice: Yes, now is the time for a revolution, the streets are chaotic, and everyone is displeased. We will pay you handsomely.

Martin: You have a deal, but why do you want me to?

Shady Voice: It’s time we had a revolution.

[Silence for 5 seconds]

Scene Two

Martin is now gearing up for the job in multiple jump cuts, the day is July 14th, at 6am. We see him dress up in a suit and tie, loading his suit with a variety of weapons and items to defend himself from what could come. Poison Darts, sharp knives, and smoke pellets. The character wears a satchel carrying explosives that have 12:30 flashing, as he places the controller gently inside of his suit jacket. Martin is reviewing the plan in his head. 

[Martin’s Voice Overlays]

At 8am the custodians empty the trashes in the building and place the collection in the dumpster. They leave the door unlocked and I can sneak in. Cameras and guards won’t be able to see me. Guards will be present at 9am for an inspection of the building, and the cameras only look at the dumpsters themselves on this side of the building. Once I am in, I need to hide. When I find an airduct I need to sneak in and start to figure out where the conference is taking place. More than likely it is happening on the 34th floor, so I will climb a bit before I’ll be able to place the explosives.

[During this voiceover there are jump cuts to current versions of the locations listed]

Scene Three

*BZZZzzzzz BZZZzzzzz*

[Scene cuts to Martin holding his comms device]

Martin: Yes

Shady Voice: The meeting will be taking place at 12:15 on the 34th floor

Martin: Okay, thank you

Shady Voice: I need to let you know, this building is swarmed, if you fail it won’t be just your paycheck, but your life will be taken.

Martin: Good to know.

Shady Voice: Just so you are aware you won’t be the only agent we have hired for this job; it is critical that you succeed before they do.

Martin: The more the marrier

[Comms device hangs up]

Scene Four

Martin is seen sneaking around the block his watch reads 7:59am. The door opens and he sneaks right through the door as the custodians are dumping the trash out. Martin dives into the hallway and closes himself in a bathroom, locking the door behind him as he places a noise sensitive tape. The tape states that, “I’m busy, please don’t come in.” He opens the vents and starts ascending the floors air duct by air duct. To no surprise, an hour later the security guards start patrolling the building. Martin is now seen placing the explosives around the room he was requested.

Scene Five

The respective leaders walk through the doorway into the room and take their seats. It’s 12:15pm, as the presentations start, there are rumbling noises from above. Martin remembered what the voice had said, “There are more than one of you.” The man falls through the ceiling and falls onto the table, getting taken away by the guards and executed in the room far away.

Martin looking back at the watch noticed that he had 10 minutes to flee the building. As he starts his descent through the vents, he gets a call. The Shady voice is on the other end.

Shady Voice: Detonate them now, the meeting is about to end

Martin in a low voice: But I need to get out.

Shady Voice: You didn’t matter anyway, rot in hell you aren’t getting your payment.

[Comms End Abruptly]

Within seconds of the call ending Martin’s jacket starts blinking, the man behind the assassination job had overwritten the explosives. The detonations start and continue to keep exploding, taking out every leader and their respective guards. The scene ends as Martin’s face flashes orange, red and then white.
