(The camera opens on a black pair of shades on the room of a top floor building next to a large water box.)

Man: "Look......gaze into the shields of pain.....Because although you can’t see me, I am here.  I see you.  I see all of you.  I see you and I wonder if these souls that I see can deal with pain.  I think… no.  I think these people fear the unknown.

(A continuous dripping is heard in the background from the water tank.  The camera looks around and still no one is there but still the voice continues.)

Man: "A poison is on its way.  You can’t see it yet, you cant feel it you can’t even touch it but when its here you’ll know it.  This poison gets stronger by the day and will soon wreak havoc on your lives.  This poison is as silent as it is devastating.  You will learn that no one can deal with more than one dose of this poison.  You fear the poison already, I know this.  You are wise to fear it.  I feel your anguish, your pain.  Believe me when I say the pain gets worse, far worse."

[A hand then reaches down a picks up the shades(the camera follows them)where the massive figure of a man stands tall.  The man can only be partially seen due to the lack of light in the area.]
