A line from US President Elizabeth Lanford [rehearsing her speech]

The countless lives that we lost in the war of '96 did not perish in vain. They inspired us to rise from the ashes as one people of one world. For 20 years the world has seen no armed conflict. Nations have put their petty differences aside. United, we rebuild our families, our cities, and our lives. The fusion of human and alien technology not only enable us to defy gravity and travel with unimaginable speed, it also made our planet finally safe again.

[the ESD Moonbase has just shot down a spheroid alien spacecraft - over David Levinson's opposition]

It crashed into Van de Graaff crater. We are not picking up any signs of life.

US President Elizabeth Lanford

Let's hope to God we did the right thing.

David Levinson

Madam President, we need to send a team up to investigate the wreckage. We need to know who we just shot down.

Reese Tanner

There's no sign of life and the threat has been neutralized. [to Lanford] We can send a team up, but David needs to be in DC.

Levinson

No, oh. Can we not make this political. I need to get up there and get answers.

Lanford

David, you can lead a team up there, but after the celebration.
