In the meeting room of the Augusta State Government building, Maine.
Several legislators and the Governor stared in silence at the disconnected video conference screen. Everyone was calculating the pros and cons of the matter.
After a long moment, a voice broke the silence.
"Gentlemen, I believe there's still a chance with this!" A legislator, somewhat younger than the others, suddenly stood up, his eyes bright and his expression animated. He'd clearly thought of a good idea.
"Oh? Mr. Bower, please share your thoughts!" The others were immediately intrigued, their eyes gleaming as they watched Mr. Bower stand.
"The key to this lies right here!" Mr. Bower pointed at the table.
Everyone followed his finger and saw a military-grade laptop on the table.
