It's troubling. We are seeing more and more advanced technology being employed by the general population in frightening ways, not just by militaries. It's so important we as a society are educated and have access to information and technology. But where do we draw the line when these things become dangerous to the masses as well? We don't want to see chaos but we don't want a police state either. Something like this just highlights that to an even greater degree.

FBI AGENT
What is this thing? I've never seen anything like it, it's not any kind of conventional drone, that's for sure. Witness reports said it was hovering in the air for a long period of time but it's got no conventional flying mechanisms. It's way way too heavy to be some kind of lighter than air device or battery operated.

Besides, you don't own this road Gunkowski... this is still America, barely... and journalists have rights.

Gunkowski is in the interrogation room with Lightfield, grilling him.
AGENT GUNKOWSKI
So, this device you built you say is something the Nazis developed in WWII and you built it to prove to the world that this technology is possible - flying saucer... technology and free energy...?(skeptical)
Lightfield is hunched over and speaking so low he can barely be heard, even with the sensitive mics in the interrogation room. We can barely see his eyes and expression under his slightly long hair hanging covering his face.
LIGHTFIELD
Again, I don't have time to go into this in depth. I know you and everyone think this is crazy. You have to listen to this as carefully as you can. Someone like you can dig into this and find the truth. That's why I did all this.
I know I won't have long to explain this to you so this won't make much sense. Yes, I'm sure you have heard all about THE ORDER OF THE FREEMASONS who run this country. They are the people who have suppressed all of this. But that isn't all, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
All the FLYING SAUCERS you see and hear people talking about aren't aliens.. they are government craft. The U.S. has had antigravity craft since the end of WWII as well as solutions to the world's energy problems. And they have used an immense DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN to suppress this information and slow down the progress of technological development. These people will stop at nothing to keep this secret.
(PANEL) 18.
AGENT GUNKOWSKI
And you say they use MIND CONTROL to control people throughout society?
LIGHTFIELD
Yes, they developed this based on work started during WWII. The U.S.. continued on with this development using scientists they brought over in a program called project PAPERCLIP. All this information is documented throughout society but people refuse to take it seriously and there are details that people are not aware of.
(PANEL) 19.
AGENT GUNKOWSKI
So, am I mind controlled too?
LIGHTFIELD
In a way, yes. everyone in this country is, and all around the world.
(PANEL) 20.
AGENT GUNKOWSKI
If these people are as all powerful as you claim how is it you have survived this long without them killing you or stopping you from finding and spreading the truth?
LIGHTFIELD
I was very cautious about who I communicated with online and how much info I revealed. Only attempting to communicated with people I felt certain could be trusted. But trying to get this info across quickly is really impossible. There are many many reasons for this. The people in power know this.
(PANEL) 21.

How is it you were able to develop this and no one else?

Here we go, he has Aspergers syndrome, that explains a lot. Especially the paranoid delusions.
FBI SHRINK
Not long ago that was considered a myth - Aspergers sufferers being delusional. People with aspergers/autism were actually said to see the world as it is, it is we, the neurotypicals, who see the world in a kind of mass delusional state - people with aspergers were said not to get caught up in a communal interpretation of things. This is why people with aspergers have trouble fitting in to social constructs. It was only after this recent spate of mass shootings by those diagnosed with aspergers that the department of homeland security's threat assessment division's studies that we found this causal link between autism and some kind of schizophrenia.
FBI ASSISTANT
This could be just what we need... as you all know the nation is in a panic because of this EMP incident. Everyone around the country is in fear of another EMP attack. The president's staff wants answers about where things stand and what he can tell the nation. How he can ease their concerns. We need to get this out to the president and the media that the suspect has Asperger's syndrome and that indications point to this being an isolated incident rather than a worldwide terrorist plot.
FBI DIRECTOR
Ramirez, We need to get this info out on the wire, immediately.

The suspect appears to be a full blown schizophrenic,but is it legitimate or an act?

Yes, I've been working on this for many years, researching and developing the technology.

I had to find a creative way to get people's attention... something that they wouldn't just blow off and ignore I tried every other method before I made a graphic novel trying to explain everything I even sent one to you but never got a reply back.

And it's his own office he's being instructed in by a superior, it seems. The CIA appears to have taken the entire office over.
The FBI director comes out with CIA director Agent Jones.
FBI DIRECTOR
Gunkowski, Roark, we are under orders to transfer the suspect and all information and evidence obtained to CIA director Jones, as this is a matter of international terrorism and under their jurisdiction.

If you try to tell anyone what I am telling you now you will only exacerbate your situation. You may not have any immdeiate family you are close to... but your partner and coleagues will die in the most gruesomely painful way imaginable and they will know it's you that has caused their suffering. I can assure you that this isn't an idle threat. We have done it many times before and we will do it many more. WHAT IS YOUR DECISION AGENT?
(PANEL) 42.
Something in Agent Gunkowski has broken.. she is no longer the same person. It's as if she is now a robot.
When Agent Jones threatens Gunner we see in her mind she is going over the things Lightfield said - images flashing and his claims of how the world really works flashing in her mind... she realizes they are true - in the Instant from when he gives her the ultimatum to when she makes the decision - it's a flash.
Agent Gunkowski
I u-understand.
(PANEL) 43.
Agent Gunkowski gets up, still a robot. Walking dazedly to the door. It's obvious she no longer understands if this is reality or a dream. But under the circumstances can't risk exploring that mystery.

He's never seen his partner scared before, but he suddenly realizes that's what her face is saying.

Good, good. You can hear me. We are going to try to get you out of here. Hang tight until we can figure something out.

PARTNER
What happened in there? (a hint of fear in his eyes now)

Roark, how far are you willing to take things... I mean if you thought everything we took this job for in the first place was at stake?

We need surveillance on these guys to figure out how we can get the suspect out of here and into a safe house as a key witness. We need to monitor their communications and activities.

Agent Gunkowski and Roark hear Lightfield's name mentioned on CNZ news show. They are repeating the info the CIA's people fed them in a previous scene. It's total BS, and talks about Lightfield being a "violent aspie."

Agent Gunkowski
Was that Lightfield?
It's now or never! Let's go!
Murray, Ramirez, Spangler, AND Bresnan take the main office in front of Crawford's. Engel, Brennan Roark and Portman we will get Lightfield when you signal you have taken out agent Jones' #1.
