Jenny Trinket, Capitol TV, Breaking News

This just in. We are in front of the Presidential Palace, where a huge explosion was reported. A group of rebels, identified from District 13, has infiltrated the Capit...

BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. 

OH MY GOD!, there are Capitol people dead everywhere. At least 50 people are dead

BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. 

Oh My God. The rebels are attacking the Capitol really hard. There is mass hysteria in the Capitol. President Coin has left tonight to her home in Thirteen to do some business, so the Interim President, Coriolanus Snow, is..

BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. 

Oh No!, The Presidential Palace has been bombed...

Inside the Presidential Palace. Latier and Gaines

WHOA. The rebels did forgot that there are people here that are in favor of them - I say. 

- Yeah, I think so - Says Latier. 

BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. 

- Those are huge explosions. Do you think the Capitol will counter attack? -  I Say

- I think so..

BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. 

- Jenny Trinket said that seven districts have fallen. Only four are strong yet. But, a lot of them have fallen because of District One and Two.

BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.

We stay all that night hearing explosions throughout the Capitol.  When the sun rises, ten of eleven districts have been subdued, except District Thirteen. When we wake up and go outside, the Capitol was a total wasteland. Everything was destroyed and, by the final death calculations, more than 2,500 died that last night. A lot more are disappeared, in which case, at least 75,000 people may have died. A lot of kids from 12 through 18 have been reported dead or disappeared. I'm really scared for what will happen. With President Coin disappeared, now Snow is in charge. 

Coriolanus Snow, Presidential Office. Communication with District 13

Hello, President Coin. 

- What do you want Snow? Leave us in peace. What you have did today, was really a Coward act. 

- Oh yes President? Then what do you qualify the acts of defiance and destruction that you provoked the districts to do?

- They were justified acts Snow. The districts have been oppressed for the last year. You need to stop this nonsense. 

- Oh no my dear President. We will destroy the districts..

- DON'T YOU DARE SNOW. OUR NUCLEAR WEAPONS ARE TRAINED ON THE DAMN CAPITOL. 

- Good move dear President. But, I will destroy the districts...

- SNOW, STOP!!!!

- What are your demands Madame President?

- Sigh. Leave the Districts alone. It's not their fault. Do you want to take vengeance on what we did?

- Oh yes Madame President. YOU DESTROYED MY PLAN. YOU DESTROYED MY CAPITOL. YOU DESTROYED EVERYTHING I HAVE EVER DESIRED. WHAT DO YOU PROPOSE?

- Destroy us. Bomb our District. Leave us alone and we will leave you alone as we never existed. You can use us as an "example" of defiance and attacks on the Capitol. But please, leave us alone. 

- I accept. You have three hours. Now, it's my time to finish my job. The Dark Days will go paid Madame President. May it lead to your own destruction and charge of conscience. 

-SNOW!!!!

- WHAT?!

- You will pay for this. One day, you will not prevail and a liberator will rise. 

- Wish on that Coin. It won't happen. 

District 13. Evacuation 

PEOPLE OF THIRTEEN. MOVE TO THE UNDERGROUND SHELTER. PLEASE HURRY UP. GET ONLY THE NECESSARY THINGS AND GO TO YOUR NEAREST UNDERGROUND ENTRANCE. WE HAVE THREE HOURS. MOVE!!!!!

That's all I can say to my people. I want everyone to be saved. I hope Gaines and Latier escape on time.
