President Warren: At 6AM this morning, a national curfew was declared. Civilian movement will be strictly controlled, the right to assembly is suspended, all electronic communications are restricted, and I have granted enhanced powers to our security agencies. In addition to these measures, all androids must be handed over to the authorities immediately. Temporary camps are being set up in all our major cities to contain and destroy them. My highest priority and responsibility as President of the United States of America is to guarantee the security of all Americans. Which means stopping the deviant menace at all cost, and this is exactly what I am going to do. I am now asking all civilians to co-operate with the authorities, and rest assured that everything in our power is being done to guarantee the security of our nation.

Journalists: Please! Madam President!

Journalist: Is it true that the androids could hack our IT systems, like nuclear power plants and military bases?

President Warren: All androids working on sensitive sites have been neutralized and all IT systems have been suspended to avoid any risks of hacking. The situation is under control.

Journalist: Has the leader of the deviants been apprehended?

President Warren: The deviant that is known as Markus has not been located yet, but we will soon track it down and neutralize it.

Journalist: Many believe that androids are a new form of intelligent life. Do you have any comment?

President Warren: That's ridiculous. Next question, please?

Journalist: Madam President, public opinion seems to have become increasingly favorable to the deviants, particularly since they've adopted a peaceful approach. How do you feel about this?

President Warren: Public opinion is one thing, the security of the state is another. These deviants are dangerous and my highest priority is to protect the American people. Thank you. That will be all.

Journalists: One last question, Madam President!

Channel 16 - Joss Douglas: We're coming to you live from Detroit where thousands of androids are marching through the city at this very moment. The leader of the deviants, the one they call Markus, is at the head of the march. They seem peaceful, but we still don't know what their intentions are.

Soldier: Something's happening in Detroit, Madam President...

PM 10:56

Markus: Here we are... The moment of truth.

Soldier: Surrender immediately or we will open fire! Stand by!

[PUBLIC OPINION slight_increase]

Markus: We don't want confrontation! We are protesting peacefully.

[PUBLIC OPINION slight_increase]

Markus: Our people have risen up to claim their freedom. If you want to stop us, you'll have to kill us!

Soldier: I repeat: surrender now or we will open fire!

North: Markus, they've blocked the road behind us. The others can't get through!

Markus: There's no turning back now.

[PUBLIC OPINION slight_increase]

Markus: We ask that you release all androids detained in camps and cease all aggression against us. We are peaceful. We will not resort to violence. But we are not leaving until our people are free.

Soldier: FIRE! FIRE!

Markus: Are you gonna open fire on unarmed protestors?!

Soldier: All teams hold your fire!
