In one week, an energy beam from outer space will strike our city. The energy beam will encompass our entire city and cannot be stopped. Virtually everything and everyone in Gotham City will be affected. Unprotected wood structures and asphalt roofs will burst into flame. Asphalt streets will soften and our vehicles will sink into the roads. Glass windows and fixtures will become extremely hot and untouchable. All plant and wildlife will be destroyed. Any skin exposed directly or indirectly will suffer 2nd to 3rd degree burns. Water temperature will rise and could result in health concerns.
The only solution that NASA has offered to us is the use of a protective paint-like coating called P-17. When applied to wooden structures or canvas fabrics, P-17 will not allow the heat from the energy beam to be absorbed and the structure or fabric will not be damaged.
I have put together and Emergency Response team within Gotham City to analyze this situation and propose solutions to our city government. This team includes the fire commissioner, police commissioner, city council chairperson and others. This team has been in contact with NASA officials as well as other agencies. This team has developed a plan of action that Gotham City government officials have now approved. This plan consists of multiple steps and its" success will depend upon the cooperation of many different organizations, agencies and the people of our city. I have called this press conference today to quickly and effectively notify the people of Gotham City of this situation and the resulting plan of action. I have requested that all local television stations air this press conference as well as continuously scroll the information during their broadcasts at all times until this situation has passed. Local radio stations are being asked to repeatedly air the following information as well. The following information is also being posted websites of all local radio and television stations as well as the Gotham City web page located at www.
