This prompt reminded me of a little activist kerfuffle that happened in the Pacific Northwest some months ago involving kayactivists.
Panel 1
Interior,
day, the oval office. A slick looking man in a suit passes the
President of the United States a stack of photographs, though they
aren't very distinct. The President of the United States of America
sits at his desk. On the desk in front of the president is a file
folder with a “TOP SECRET” on it. The slick man has a brief case
on the floor next to him.
1.
SLICK MAN: Mr. President, I'm here
to talk about the activists in
kayaks that are currently
delaying the Slick Oil
mining vessel.
Panel
2
The
President flips through the photographs as he replies to the slick
man.
2.
PRESIDENT: Yes, I heard. We will deploy the Coast Guard to protect
the mission.
Panel
3
The
slick man pulls another bundle of papers from a brief case.
3.
SLICK MAN: Thank you. But I came to talk about the PR problems our
company is suffering due to the appearance of doing exploratory oil
mining.
Panel
4
The
President slams the papers down on the desk angrily. The slick man
looks surprised by the outburst.
4.
PRESIDENT: We contracted Slick Oil to retrieve the alien artifacts
found in the arctic under the guise of exploratory oil mining. Go.
Retrieve. Return. With all the risks and liabilities associated.
Panel
5
The
slick man slides his papers back into his briefcase.
5.
PRESIDENT (OP): And if Slick Oil tries anything funny, you'll find
out just many three letter agencies we can shove down your throat.
6.
SLICK MAN: Yes, Mr. President.
