You’re seriously telling me the world ends in three months?
MAYA SHARMA (MC)
Yes. On April 5th.
A mutated virus, government collapse, cities in flames — all of it.
AARAV SHARMA
Okay, say I believe you.
Why come to me?
MAYA SHARMA (MC)
Because you awaken powers early. You’re strong.
And because you’re my brother. I lost you last time.
AARAV SHARMA
You lost me?
MAYA SHARMA (MC)
You died, Aarav. You were trying to protect me.
I won’t let that happen again.
Pause
AARAV SHARMA
Damn…
Okay. I don’t understand any of this. But... I believe you.
You’ve never looked this serious before.
MAYA SHARMA (MC)
We need to start prepping. Weapons, supplies, contacts — everything.
AARAV SHARMA
Where do we even begin?
MAYA SHARMA (MC)
Since January 5th. The day I came back.
I’ve got a list. And a loan application I may or may not have forged...
AARAV SHARMA
You WHAT?
MAYA SHARMA (MC)
We need money, Aarav. The banks won’t exist soon anyway.
Might as well make their cash count

AARAV SHARMA
This place… it’s a war bunker.
MAYA SHARMA (MC)
Give me three more weeks and it'll be apocalypse-proof.
I’ve reinforced the windows, stocked rations, installed water filters.
AARAV SHARMA
You really thought of everything, huh?
MAYA SHARMA (MC)
Not everything. That’s why I need you.
You’ve always been better with people.
AARAV SHARMA
So… what’s next?
MAYA SHARMA (MC)
We need to recruit. People I can trust.
Some I knew in my past life — but they won’t know me yet.
AARAV SHARMA
You’re saying we build the future team now?
MAYA SHARMA (MC)
Exactly. Before they’re broken.
