Tara is cleaning up after dinner.
Several RAPID KNOCKS on the front door.
Jeremy opens it.
A formally dressed WOMAN stands in the hallway.
TWO MEN are on either side of her.
She holds up a government ID. It boldly displays the words 'NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY.'
WOMAN
Jeremy Ash?
JEREMY
Yes.
Tara is standing stiffly in the kitchen archway, holding a half finished plate of lasagna.
WOMAN

She hands Jeremy two airline tickets and a business card with a raised NSA seal, then walks away.
The two men follow.
Jeremy moves out to the balcony.

HIGH ANGLE on limousine parked below.
The three NSA agents climb into the car.
When the car pulls out of the space, a large handicapped symbol is revealed on the pavement.
The car moves slowly onto the street and through a red light.
Tara comes out on the balcony.
Jeremy looks at the card in his hand.
JEREMY

States of America hereby requests,
etcetera, etcetera, on Sunday, 28 August,

My flight leaves at six in the morning.
They know about the crystal.
TARA

Jeremy goes back into the house.
Tara follows.
TARA (CONT’D)

A U.S. MARINE escorts Jeremy to a door marked Conference Room G.
He knocks, then cracks it open.
Jeremy enters cautiously.
INT. CONFERENCE ROOM G - U.S PENTAGON - DAY
Photos of space and spacecraft hang on the walls.
A long oak table, littered with laptops and file folders, centers the room.
Nine people are seated around it. The NSA woman is among them.
A Four-Star General is seated at the far end. A ridiculous number of ribbons and medals adorn his uniform. He is GENERAL HAYES.
HAYES
Jeremy Jonathan Ash?
JEREMY
Yes.
HAYES
I'm General Hayes. Please, have a seat.
Jeremy takes the unoccupied chair at the near end of the table.
The lights dim.
An image of the moon appears on the back
