("LA CUMPARSITA" STARTS PLAYING, THEN QUICKLY FADES OUT)

ANNOUNCER TWO:
Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt our program of dance music to bring you a special bulletin from the Intercontinental Radio News.

At twenty minutes before eight, central time, Professor Farrell of the Mount Jennings Observatory, Chicago, Illinois, reports observing several explosions of incandescent gas, occurring at regular intervals on the planet Mars. The spectroscope indicates the gas to be hydrogen and moving towards the earth with enormous velocity.

Professor Pierson of the Observatory at Princeton confirms Farrell's observation, and describes the phenomenon as, quote, "like a jet of blue flame shot from a gun," unquote.

We now return you to the music of Ramón Raquello, playing for you in the Meridian Room of the Park Plaza Hotel, situated in downtown New York.

All right, that was expected. I couldn't help coupling nazi propaganda with a little of what went on stateside. Funny story isn't it? H.G. Wells couldn't even begin to imagine how close to home he's hitting right now. If that parallel doesn't grab you, there's always this.

Run to the fucking shelters while you still can and get ready to start pumping canned foods into your diet. It's going to be an ugly fight.

Until then, I've got tunes for you on the chain gang.
