• Andrea reports positive headlines at Beyond News. She and her co-anchor are treated like celebrities, and office runners move swiftly to make sure they look and feel presentable.

• Andrea converses with Shane about how the news they broadcast never sounds negative – how its too good to be true. Shane, however, has no doubts about the company. He loves the limelight and his large cash flow.

• On her way out of work, Andrea passes by a narrowly opened room showing raw footage of public distress. Moments after, the footage scrambles and the door slams in front of her. She leaves work and on her way back through the dark city she witnesses what appears to be a drug deal. However the people Andrea sees belong to a truth activist cult. They flee the scene but accidentally drop a leaflet with ‘THE TRUTH’ written in bold across the top.

• A warmly lit house awaits her arrival and she plonks herself on the couch with the news channel switched on. Crime rates are low, stocks are high. Andrea shifts her attention back to the leaflet, which reports the complete opposite.

ANDREA’S PARENTS DIED WHEN SHE WAS YOUNG, BEFORE ‘BEYOND’ TOOK OVER THE NEWS.

HOW DID HER FATHER DIE?

HOW DID BEYOND TAKE CONTROL?
