Top of the news: The precipitous drop in temperature. The cold front that arrived last week has intensified in the past two days.
This arctic breeze continues to increase at a rapid rate. The impact being felt even at the capital, as it is encased in ice.
But the government has taken all measures to deal with the situation. You’re saying that aliens are the cause of this cold snap? Definitely.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
The report I gave you proves it.
What? This series of photos? if you think you’ll convince anyone with this…
But what about the engraved tablet that I gave you. Isn’t that proof of what I’m saying?
Unfortunately,
Again,
Oh yes, the famous tablet…
My experts told me it was nothing special.
I agree their deaths are sad and I sympathize with your loss.
But I’m sorry, I can’t follow up on your fantasies about aliens who have come to conquer us. But sir…
Enough! I’ve heard enough!
Again and again these stories of the Mazon! We have already heard this nonsense from Professors Daiba and cuzco…
You scientists offer up these stories of extraterrestrials to justify your failures.You’ve wasted enough time! Captain Luguy, what is the status on the production of heat insulating stones on
Epsilon?
Prime Minister, production has intensified, and stones and warm clothing are being distributed free to the population daily.
Nothing special?! People have died so I could bring it back to you and warn the world of the danger that awaits us.
People that I respected and loved.
it’s not going fast enough!
our cargo vessels are the prey of a pirate ship.
that damn Harlock!
