EXT. CAPITOL HILL -- DAY

Chaos consumes the normally austere exterior of the white hall, the lawn overflowing with fleeing pedestrians.

SENATOR BOB, a overstuffed briefcase clenched to his chest, his tie askew, leads the escape. CONGRESSWOMAN JANE grabs his arm to halt him.

CONGRESSWOMAN JANE
Senator Bob, what is happening?

SENATOR BOB
MegaVote! Megavote is coming!

In the distance, great thudding STOMPS grow in volume and repetition. Something has begun to run.

CONGRESSWOMAN JANE
(panicked)
Megavote is coming? You mean the people will be able to keep
track of our votes and decisions on a weekly basis?

A ROAR echoes. Then another.

SENATOR BOB
Yes! The people will be informed! There is nowhere to hide!

CONGRESSWOMAN JANE
We must flee!

From behind the Capital building, MEGAVOTE stomps into view, towering over the fragile symbol of corrupt representative goverment.

He roars once more, then with a mighty STOMP, brings his immense foot down upon the Dome, popping it like a balloon. A balloon that COLLAPSES to the ground in shambles, debris flying into the air.

Jane stares upward, clasping her hands to her cheeks.

CONGRESSWOMAN JANE
AIEEEEE!!!!

MegaVote has come. Tokyo Washington is doomed.
