Meanwhile, out in Seattle...
It was raining (go figure), and the battle at Achilles had ended one day prior. A lone, down on his luck, freelance newscaster sat half naked in his bath tub contemplating suicide, when he overheard a news broascast over the radio on NPR.
"Military aircraft from several nations have been scrambled to a large, yet until recently unnoticed island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. Details are as of yet unknown.
Meanwhile, Brazil goes on to beat England 2-1 in the World Cup, while Germany beats the U.S. 1-0 today...."
'Holy shit!' thought the news caster. 'Brazil beat England again! That doesn't happen very often... Hey wait, what was that other part about the aircraft?'
Carefully unplugging his radio and setting it a safe distance away from the bath tub, the newscaster soon stripped his remaining clothes and took a shower. It was his intent to be the second person to cover this mysterious island. He didn't mind being second, after all, no one can beat NPR...
He exited the shower, and stared out his window, listening to the rain and watching the moon. It was now that he could have sworn that he'd heard a lone howl, but he just shrugged it off for the moment...
