When the door to his office closes, Chambers walks over to the mini-bar and pours himself a drink.

He contemplates for a moment, then sits at his desk, turns on his computer, and clicks the internet search bar. He searches for "School of Miracles announcement." A link to the video appears. Chambers clicks the play button.

The video shows a middle aged, dark-skinned man with dreadlocks sitting in the woods at night. Several of the man's "students" sit behind him. Chambers sips on his drink as the man in the video speaks.


WALKER
People of the world. My name is Walker. We are the School of Miracles. Pay very close attention to our words. There is a dimension that has existed since before the dawn of humankind. It has many names. You people call it the M-Verse. When man discovered it, we did what we always do. We tainted it. Corrupted it. Slapped on a bunch of copyrights and trademarks. And fed it to the masses. The TV networks and scientists want you to believe that the M-Verse is their world...a man made construct. They are lying. Our goal is to show that The M-Verse is much more than what it has become. That is the only reason we’re participating in your insipid television show. We’ll play this game. And we’ll play to win. But we’ll never lose sight of the true enemy. You.


The camera clicks off. Chambers sighs deeply, shaking his head and taking another swig from his drink. Caine is right about one thing.

Chambers doesn't trust Edward Lau.
