Next, a white military van pulls up and TWO AIR NUKE
SPECIALISTS in radiation suits get out of the van, run
across the tarmac to the raised circular shapes. One

LT . RANCORD:
The rerouting of silos B9, B1- 3. B1-4 and
B20 has already begun by Special Forces Rangers trained
for ICBM management.
MAJ. FURROW:
Our job at this point is to sit tight,
maintain base security, and let the politicos do their job.
We are not to in- cite civilians or engage in any kind of
military action whatsoever. We are a deterrent. Repeat, a
deterrent. Nothing more.
IN GENERAL SORKIN'S HEADQUARTERS. NIGHT.
At the same moment,GEN. SORKIN is looking out the
Window with his binoculars.
WHAT HE'S LOOKING AT:
GRASSY FIELD OF ICBM SILOS - NIGHT
The two AIR FORCE RANGERS have reached the first
concrete ICBM bunker rising in a slope a few feet above
the ground. One of them places an electronic device
against the steel door, then enters a code into a small
laser.
INSIDE MISSILE SILO COMMAND BUNKER - NIGHT
Unaware of the activity above, MISSILE TECHNICIANS
LIEUTENANT BRENNER and SERGEANT MACGUIRE
are alternately watching a black-and-white rerun of LUCY
on a small cell phone monitor and playing WAR- CRAFT
on a laptop. An AMBER LIGHT begins to flash.
