Hello Alchemy, we need the Evoke Network help in Paraguay.

We have a unusual energy crisis.

The energy resource is enough by the Bi national Itaipú and Yacyreta, to provide the country and sell the rest to Brasil.

The distribution channels are complete to this year.

Our problem is the transmission,the channel have trouble to support the energy necessary to covert all the country and the cost to increase the transmission channels make the people pay hight energy bills and taxes to finance the operation.

On one screen we see a picture of Ember, captioned with EVOKE MEMBER CODENAME: EMBER. A touch-screen button underneath her dossier says “ACTIVATE”. Alchemy is pushing it. (this could be broken into two
panels, or a main panel and an inset of the action).

PANEL A

TEXT BOX: University of Legon, Ghana.

A classroom. EMBER is in the middle of a lecture. The lecture hall is full of students, all watching her with rapt attention. In the front row is a student wearing a t-shirt that says “I believe EVOKE is real”
in a Helvetica font. Also apparent in the lecture hall are several
giant screens, from which still more students watch and listen in rural
classrooms. A textbook says “Resilient Logistics”. Each of these next
three scenes should be tinted with the color tone of the character.
Ember is yellow, so this scene should have a palette that features
yellows and golds.

EMBER 1
So if we look at the social problems caused by the urban population increase of 2019-

INSET PANEL B

PANEL A

TEXT BOX: Bo-Kaap Township. Capetown

We are inside a small fabrication shop. Outside a window in the background, we can see a billboard with the EVOKE logo and the tagline “It could be anyone.” In the extreme foreground is a laser cutter. The
color palette for this scene is purple. EUREKA, who was operating the
device, has just removed a safety visor from her face. She is talking
on a similar silver phone, a laptop open on the desk in front of her.
She looks serious, but also excited, energized.

EUREKA 1

The disturbs are in all the cities or is only in the capital of the country?

A reverse shot from overhead. Eureka has the duffle in hand. In front of her is a wall bristling with tools of all kinds. The tools range from low-tech (wrenches, hammers, pliers, etc) to super high-tech
devices with graphical displays, lasers for topographical maps, RFID
sensors, to precision devices like micrometers. The idea is an
overwhelming juxtaposition of a variety of tools.

EUREKA 2
I just need to pack up some tools.
