Panel 1
A darkened room with a table cluttered with computers and cables. Alex, a beaming inventor, is working intently. Sam, his pragmatic friend, stands next to him, arms crossed, looking skeptical.
ALEX: Look, Sam! The UN is the perfect stage for this announcement. It's like the Olympics for tech conferences!
SAM: Alex, the Olympics is a popular global event. Why UN?
ALEX: Because we're dealing with a massive hack! It’s a global issue. The UN is the world's biggest political stage.
SAM: Big enough to draw attention, but not too big to manage quietly.
Panel 2
Alex is typing on a laptop in the background. The room is now dimly lit, with occasional flashes of light from the screen. Robin, a mischievous character with wild hair, enters the room, a mischievous grin on his face. ROBIN (excited) ALEX (smiling) Alex turns the laptop towards Robin, who grins widely, now absorbing the information on the screen.
ROBIN: Alex, I heard you announced something big. I'm here to see what the big news is!
ALEX: Oh, Robin! You’re just in time. Come, sit down and I’ll show you.
ROBIN: Show me, show me! You must have hacked someone, right?
ALEX: Not exactly. It’s a bit bigger than that.
Panel 3
Alex, Sam, and Robin are now standing in a large, well-lit room at the UN, with a packed audience. Alex is nervously pacing, while Sam looks at his notes with a skeptical frown. Robin is bouncing with excitement. Samantha (UN official) ALEX (calm) ROBIN (excitedly) Samantha (UN official) Samantha (rolling her eyes) ALEX (smiling)
Samantha: We have a question, Alex. Why did you choose the UN for this announcement?
ALEX: Well, it’s not just about the UN, it’s about the global impact of this breach. The world needs to hear the full story.
ROBIN: And who wouldn’t want to hear from the guy who figured out how to hack the UN’s algorithms? Now we can all use those smart glasses!
Samantha: We’ll keep you posted, Alex.
ALEX: Thanks, Samantha. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
