INT - Oval Office (The next day)
"President Oboomer sat silently at his large oak desk, resting his cheek on his middle finger as he stared at a picture of his wife, Mariah and their two children - Sabrina and Miliani, aged 12 and 15 respectively. The satin curtains behind him were closed, blocking the light from the window behind him as he sat in darkness. There was a knock on the door. He sighed as he set his golden picture frame on the table"
President Oboomer
Come in.
"The lights in the room shot on as a group of four men opened the door and approached the President. The leader, a tall, muscular blonde man nicknamed Icarus, stood in front, his dogma hanging freely from his neck. The rest of his team, three average-height white men with black hair, stood behind him. Oboomer stood to his feet"
Icarus
(With a smirk) Come on, Pres, you can't be sitting in the dark like you're a vampire.
President Oboomer
(With a stern face as he shakes his hand) It helps me think.
Icarus
So...this Holt guy. He's a bit of a problem.
President Oboomer
Yesterday, he destroyed a convoy of tanks as if they were toys. With less than a week of experience training with his dogma, he may have already become the most powerful person on earth.
Icarus
Nonsense! We're Squad Zero, baby! The most powerful squad in the most powerful military on earth! We will take care of him easily!
"President Oboomer shook his head"
President Oboomer
Death favors the arrogant.
"Icarus remained silent as President Oboomer slowly walked back to his desk and took a seat"
President Oboomer
Let me be clear. I have no doubt in your abilities. However, this isn't someone to take lightly. I'm sure his reputation speaks for itself.
Icarus
We've been training for years with our dogmas to become elite. He's only had his for three days.
President Oboomer
Are you strong enough to do what he did?
"Icarus remained silent"
President Oboomer
Look, it seems to me that his growth may be exponential and uhhh, our best hope is to stop him before he becomes too powerful. However, I expect the battle between you guys and him to be pretty large-scale. I want you to battle him in a location where we can minimize casualties.
Icarus
How do you plan to do that?
President Oboomer
We need to bait him.
Icarus
Bait him how?
"President Oboomer looked up at him, a grim expression painting his face"
