1  INT. OBCO OFFICE - DAY
 2  ======================
 3  
 4  ObCo programmers are sitting at their cubicles in an "open office",
 5  tapping at their keyboards, most with head phones on. It's hard core
 6  geek-central. Three people are standing next to the water cooler.
 7  
 8  > PROGRAMMER ONE 
 9  >> Have you heard about the news?
10  
11  > PROGRAMMER TWO 
12  >> About the warehouses?
13  
14  > PROGRAMMER ONE 
15  >> Yeah, everything's stopped, in California at least.
16  
17  > ALAN 
18  >> It is very worrying. Could it be a bug in our system?
19  
20  > PROGRAMMER ONE 
21  >> Can't see how. We haven't shipped any new versions in weeks.
22  
23  Suddenly the doors are opened with some force and a loud noise. A couple
24  of dozen men in dark suits come in. We see agents HARRISON and JONES
25  come in in the rear guard. Some of the men have drawn their guns and
26  hold them in a readiness position, pointing them at the ceiling.
27  
28  > AGENT JONES 
29  >> Everybody stop what they are doing. This is the FBI. Stop doing
30  >> anything and listen to me. I am agent Archie Jones. I want everyone
31  >> to get up and walk quietly to stand next to the wall.
32  
33  Those of the ObCo workers that notice look a bit confused. The rest,
34  lost in their headphones, keep tapping away. Agent Jones nods to DARK
35  SUIT 1 who walks up behind a programmer wearing headphones and touches
36  her head with the tip of the gun. The programmer stops typing and snaps
37  around with a snarl. Startled to see it's a real gun, she raises her
38  hands up. DARK SUIT 1 lifts off the head phones with the gun. The
39  programmer looks around. Slowly, and then more urgently the rest take
40  notice and, removing their headphones, do as they're told. ALAN walks
41  over to JONES.
42  
43  > ALAN
44  > <br> (Familiar. Relaxed.)
45  >> Hey Jones, what's going on?
46  
47  > AGENT JONES
48  >> Hello, Alan. We have reason to believe that ObCo may be connected to
49  >> the suspected terrorist attack against warehouses today. Sorry to
50  >> barge in like this, but we can't take any chances, not in a terrorist
51  >> situation.
52  
53  > ALAN 
54  >> Sure, I understand. How can I help?
55  
56  > AGENT JONES 
57  >> We're going to have to check all your computers. Agent Harrison here
58  >> is head of the computer forensics team. Can you give him all
59  >> passwords he needs?
60  
61  > ALAN 
62  >> Of course, if you have the proper writ.
63  
64  > AGENT HARRISON 
65  >> Here.
66  
67  ALAN studies the document and nods.
68  
69  > ALAN 
70  >> It seems to be in order. Whatever you need, just ask. We'll help as
71  >> well as we can.
72  
73  > AGENT JONES 
74  >> Knowing you, Alan, I never expected anything else. We'll also need to
75  >> go through your personnel files and discuss everyone's background
76  >> with you. We can do that while Harrison's team looks into your
77  >> computers.
78  
79  > ALAN 
80  >> All right. I'll go get the master password list from the safe first.
81  
82  Alan goes fetch the master password list from the safe, while FBI agents
83  clear a conference room and other agents spread around the office to
84  start looking into computers. The programmers stand around with their
85  hands in their pockets, whispering.
