Houston Texas NASA Space Center, 0900 hours. Harry and his Daughters arrive at the NASA Headquarters. in flight suits and they meet Truman who was waiting for them at the entrance of the building General Kimsey was with him.
Truman: Mr Stamper? he asked wanting to be sure he was the man he was looking for.
Harry: Yeah, I'm Harry Stamper he answered him.
they shook hands.
Truman: I'm Dan Truman NASA Director, on behalf of all of this I wanted to apologize...
Harry: Apologies, I don't think we can take any more apologies Mr. Truaman we been apologizied to for the last 18 and a half hours. so if you don't mind why don't we get on with it and you tell us why we're here at the NASA Space Center? he interrupted him.
Truman: we should probably talk alone he wanted to talk to him in private.
Harry: Mr Truman, I don't keep any secrets from my Daughters Miranda and Grace ether you tell them now or I'll tell them later they're gonna find out one way or the other, so why don't don't we just get on with it? he wanted him to get straight to the point.
Truman: so when the rogue comet passed the Asteroid Belt it sent shrapnel right for us. an animated video of the Asteroid passing through the belt at high speed knocking some rocks in the way. within the next 15 days the Earth's in a shooting gallery, even the Asteroid itself hits the water it's still hitting land it'll flash boil millions of seawater and slam into the ocean bedrock now if it's a pacific ocean impact which we think it will be it'll create a title wave 3 miles high traveling a thousand miles an hour covering California and washing up in Denver,
Grace grabbed Harry's hand scared.
Japan's gone Austrilia's wiped out half the world's population will be incenerated by the heat blast the rest will freeze to death from Nuclear Winter he told them.
Miranda: that's unbelievable, she whispered enough for them to hear her.
Truman: well it's as real as it gets, he stood up and the blinds off the conference room opened well it's coming right now right for us at 22,000 miles an hour not a soul on Earth can hide from it. he said softly.

Harry sighed.
Harry: I take it you're not letting everyone about this. he said knowing nobody knows about the end that's coming.
Truman: no one knows, that's the way it stays. there are nine telescopes around the world that can spot the Asteroid and we control eight of them. the President's classified this information Top-Secret, if news like this got out there will be an overnight breakdown in social services worldwide, rioting mass religious hysteria total chaos you can imagine basically the worst parts of the bible he explained the President wants to keep it quiet around the world and not cause a panic across the globe.
Harry looked at his Daughters seeing the horrified looks on their faces they were scared but they hadn't been that scared in their lives especially when the world is ending when an Asteriod is on a collision course with the Earth.
Harry: 6 billion people on the planet, why'd you guys call me?
Harry Miranda and Grace and Truman and Quincy are seen walking in the hangar at Eglin Air Force Base Florida home of the Astronaut training center.
Truman: we need you to prep the team we're sending up he said.
Harry: up? he asked confused.
Truman: we'll send them to the Asteriod, they'll land drill a hole and drop some nukes if we can fix this equipment problem he explained.
Quincy: the drilling unit's a prototype it was gonna be used for the Mars project, you might recognize the rig he said showing him the Drilling arm Harry knows very well.
Harry looked at it real closely and recognized it right away. his very drill design.
Harry: yeah well I guess I should Recognize it it's my design, let me guess did you steal a key to the Patton office he stood from his kneeling position he was real pissed.
Truman: yeah basically he said with no fear.
Harry: let me get this straight, I got pulled off an Oil Rig flown halfway around the world because you stole my drill design. let me guess you been tearing up rotors and you can't figure out why he looked at the Research Scientist who came up with the idea of landing a team on the asteroid.
Quincy: well yeah...
Harry: that's because your cans are all wrong mr wizard he shut up and turned to Truman, who's been operating this thing? he wanted to know he'll be working with.
The NASA Director pointed behind him.
Truman: right there.
Qunicy: we had them training for 8 mouths solid now he said.
Harry: 8 whole mouths? he asked him.
Quincy: pretty much, he scratched the back of his neck.
Truman: this is the Team that has to do, we need you to train them down here. well Mr Stamper What do you think? he wanted an answer quick.
Harry and Truman walked across the Hangar.
Harry: you know Drilling is an art it's a science a third generation driller been doing it all my life let me guess I got brought here because somebody told I was the best and I work with the best if you don't trust the men you're working with you're good as dead you want to send these boys into space fine I'm sure they'll make good Astronauts, but they don't know jack about drilling.
Truman: we're a little short on time here will you help us? he asked him wanting a answer from the Best Oil Driller in the world.
Harry thought for a minute before asking.
Harry: all they got to do is drill? he asked.
Truman: that's it he nodded.
Harry: no space walks, no crazy Astronaut stuff? he asked again.
Truman shook his head.
Truman: just drill.
Miranda and her Sister stopped behind their Father and Truman listening to what they were saying.
Harry: how many men were you planning on taking up there? he asking for the third time.
Truman: we're sending up two shuttles two teams he replied.
Harry: if i do this I wanna take my own men he said.
Truman: you got it, so you're saying you'll help us?
Harry nodded.
Harry: yes sir he answered him he was gonna do it.
Truman: thank you.
Harry saw his Daughters silently asking him if he was sure about it he sighed.
Harry: I just don't trust anybody else to do it that's all.
