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.
