PANEL A

Evoke agents are lounging around a casual meeting space.

EMBER 1
What a crazy year. I can't believe we pulled all those stunts off.

ALCHEMY 2
Well, not everything went as planned...

EMBER 3
Expression: Wry grin.
You know, they say that if you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans.


PANEL B

Same room, different angle showing EUREKA and QUINN. QUINN is looking at a laptop with several windows of financial data up.

EUREKA 1
The point is, we made it work for us in the end. That's what's important.

QUINN 2
Well, that, and the fact that we made it pay. With the profits we earned, we'll be able to fund plenty of future evokes.

PANEL C

Close up of ALCHEMY, with a smirk

ALCHEMY
Better yet, we've proven to the world that not only can you create change, but you can make it sustainable and profitable. The smell of a profit margin will get people moving in the right direction even if nothing else will.

OFF-PANEL
An alert blares out: There's been a 7.0 magnitude earthquake in southern Chile. We've suffered severe damage to local infrastructures up and down the coast and communications are devastated. Alchemy, we need your help!

Four-way split of all of the Agents and Alchemy hard at work fielding incoming data, messages and calls.

Facing wall screens with maps, talking into headset: Yes, that's correct. Proceed to these coordinates...

EUREKA 2
On phone: Just bring the tools you have.

EMBER 3
Typing into IM screen: Remember Laurel Canyon...Exactly! You've got it.

QUINN 4
Looking into his computer screen, talking into headset: Whatever you've got in stock, mobilize it now.

PANEL B
Urban area centering on an open plaza. Buildings in the background are destroyed by earthquake, lots of debris, fallen buildings, you can see a few fires in the far background. There are people helping each other search the ruins or supporting each other as they climb over rubble. From all around the plaza, a streaming flash-mob of people are converging on a table in the center of the plaza. Several of the people are looking at their cellphones, as if following a map or directions. Two people stand at the table with smartphones and clipboards, checking people in.

TEXT BOX 1
