CAPTION

The Kremlin.

THE RUSSIAN PRESIDENT (1)

X-Force.

THE RUSSIAN PRESIDENT (2)

More like American Death Force, eh?

PANEL TWO

The Russian President sits at his desk. It's desolate, aside from an ashtray and a thin manila folder. The curtains are drawn. The room is dark. A cigarette is nestled between two fingers on his right hand. His left rests beside the folder. There is someone sitting opposite him - we can't identify who.

THE RUSSIAN PRESIDENT (1)

They come to my country. They kill my citizen!>

THE RUSSIAN PRESIDENT (2)

They have no right!

PANEL THREE

He roughly stamps out his cigarette.

THE RUSSIAN PRESIDENT (1)

And they hide behind their mutants.

THE RUSSIAN PRESIDENT (2)

Because they are not citizens. They are not answerable to international law.

THE RUSSIAN PRESIDENT (3)

They are ghosts.

PANEL FOUR

Omega Red sits opposite the president with his arms crossed. Listening placidly.

THE RUSSIAN PRESIDENT

But we have Ghosts too, eh?

PANEL FIVE

The president flips open the file. From this angle, we can't see its contents.

THE RUSSIAN PRESIDENT

And plenty of targets.
