"As we are approaching the beginning..."

"Any moment now..."

"Seeing most of the members of the congress here, we can now see that the conference will now start. Any moment..."

Sigh...

Opening the doors, entering the conference room. Macario walked, headstrong.

"There he is..."

"President Macario have now entered..."

The members of the congress, the senate, and many others, looked and pointed at Macario.

The cameras zoomed and the cameras flashed, but none of that mattered to him. 

The Presidential spokesperson looked at Macario nervously as he approached.  Leaving his position on the podium and giving it to Macario. He hastily left to take a seat far from him.

Fixing the mike to his level, Macario faced the congress, senators, media, and the populace itself.

*Flick*

A screen appeared behind him.

The screen portrayed different locations in the country, it also portrayed No Man's land resource base, the Malacañang Royal port, and some other bases.

He then checked the time.

7:56 pm.

Just in time.

Clearing his throat, he then began to say what must be said.

"Before I get into the deeper matters that I am going to explain today... You're probably wondering why there is a big screen with different areas on my back."

"Well, that screen, is a live feed. Anything that is shown there is true."

"And since I'm a practical person.... I am not gonna delay what you guys wanted to know. So, I'm going to say why are you disconnected from the rest of the world and..... Why you cannot contact the rest of your family that's is out side the country."

Macario then looked to the space association officials and nodded his head meekly.

Noticing his nod, the officials all took out their pens, and pressed a small little button that was on the tip.

Right after that...

******

*Manila*

*Manila bay*

The bay currently was an embodiment of beauty.

After 15 years of effort, of course with the setbacks of terrorists attacks and natural disasters, the bay was the perfect beauty for technology and nature, all combined.

And now, the bay is currently being strolled by ehem... Lovers. Or more or less, people that is not single.

(A/N: fvckin hell I'm single. Shout out to all the singles out there!)

"He-Hey! Th-The sky is!"

"A-ah-AHHHH!!"

The sky began to distort.

The once original clear, beautifully moonlit night sky, have slowly dispersed into hexagons and triangles.

*Nueva Ecija*

"Wa-ah ahhh!!!"

"Takbo!" (Run!)

*Cebu city*

"Unsay nahitabo?!" (What's happening?!)

"Kamong mga tawagan 911!" (You guys call 911)

******

*Quezon city*

*Batasang Pambansang Complex*

"Wha? What do you mean?!"

"E-Excuse me??

""Th-The sky?"

Macario watch the current shocked and insecured expressions of the media, and to him, he is no doubt sure that, currently, unrest and panic have already spread throughout the country.

Nevertheless, he simply tuned a blind eye to this.

"Wh-What?! The sky has two moons???!!"

"I-Impossible."

"Wha-what is happening...."

*Bang*

A gunshot rang

Everyone immediately turned silent. The media, which has been in an unrest, immediately looked at the source of the sound.

There, they saw Macario holding a handgun, pointed to the ground, and had its muzzle smoking.

"Can I continue?" Said, Macario blankly.

Hearing such an tone and seeing such an expression. Not a single one dared to talk.

Counting up to 20 seconds, Macario nodded his head and then continued.

"For the past month, after that fog event, we have been dealing with Nationwide inspections, cleaning, etc, etc. This is why there is such a large military activity everywhere."

"And, while that went on, we also sent men out of the country to look for help on different countries as our country lost contact with the rest of the world."

"So, our first destination was Taiwan. And, as for Taiwan, it's gone."

"The country, which was approximately 1,200 km north of our country, is gone."

"Likewise, Brunei, Singapore, China, Vietnam, Malaysia, and some parts of Indonesia, we were unable to reach these countries. What was in place, was only water."

"For a few more days, we continued our frantic reconnaissance to look for any nearby countries. At that time as well, we have confirmed to have lost connection to any existing satellite there is.  So, looking for high ground visuals have been unusable then. Due to that, we have to use more men from the military just to give appropriate measures on all those reconnaissance missions."

"Approaching the time span of two weeks, which at this time, reports of 'unable to contact relatives' were given and submitted to the government. Now, to those people and families that is watching this conference now. I.. am sorry. All forms of contact to all previously known countries have become non-existent."

"If you want to blame the government for its uselessness on helping you get your families back. I will say this now here.... I am sorry, this matter is no longer completely in our hands."

After Macario said this, the whole conference room, no, the whole complex itself, or perhaps the country itself, have turned dead silent.

"Looking high above, all 78 satellites that, that is spread throughout our solar system, is no longer connected to this country. Filipina moon base, Bituin mars colony, and Libulan titan space colony and research team are all gone."

"Bongbong space military base, Enamarco Proxima Base, Niagloria, and many other bases are gone as well."

"Roughly, the previous population our country had, which was originally 230 million, have all been reduced to 150 million altogether."

After Macario said this, the previous dead silence have somehow now turned into that of something unexplainability. 

The media personnel that was currently present have already begun to shudder, some have already dropped to their knees unable to comprehend the situation.

"We will be giving out a poll, if you want to continue, vote it up, if not, vote it as well. There are many things other things that have happened  in the past month. So, i will be awaiting your answers."

Macario then proceeded to sit down on the floor. Eyes closed.

Rodel and Jose looked helpless at this.

"Now this could certainly be a traumatic damage for nearly everyone in the whole country." Thought both of them.

*Beep*

Rodel then touched the earpiece that is, well of course, located at his ear.

"Mhmm. I see. Okay."

"What is it?" Asked Jose.

"Come on, let's go."

"Where are we going?"

Not even glancing at Jose, Rodel replied.

"To business."

......

"Mr. President. The polling is done."

"The results?"

"73% yes, 27% no. However, only a 126 million answered."

"I see."

Opening his eyes, Macario looked head straight at the camera which was still streaming his conference.

He then stood up and fixed himself on the podium.

"The polling is done, and it seems like most of you wants to know the truth. Very well then."

"Let's start with our country's first contact."
