Muse: Simulation Theory

Good evening.

This is Thomas Williams at V1 Studios with breaking news.

Across the globe there have been reports

of small tremors and power outages

all centring from a single point of origin in London.

We go now to our affiliates on the ground in London

to find out more.

Thanks, Thomas.

We are now outside the arena, where it is very quiet

compared to the chaos that was reported only hours earlier.

We have received hundreds of reports

of flashing neon lights in the sky

only moments after power outages occurred across the city.

Officials have given no answers,

but it is clear that it is centred here,

where the military are now focusing their efforts

to set up some kind of investigation.

We will continue to report any updates.

Get ready.

We're close.

Oh, my God.

Central, we've located the energy source.

Do you feel that?

Yeah.

Murphy, take the lead. We got your six.

Copy.

I've never seen EMF and radiation levels this high.

Infrared and motion are spiking too.

Central, we have reached the target.

Permission to proceed?

Permission granted. Proceed with caution.

Copy that.

Let's go.

Anyone have a visual?

Nothing. It's freezing up here.

We've got movement at 12 o'clock.

Murphy, do not engage.

This is incredible.

That is a direct order.

It's... It's an arcade console.

Anyone got a quarter?

- Something's wrong. -

- What happened? - Are you hearing this?

Someone grab him!

- Are you hearing this? - Murphy!

The sound... The sound... Oh!

The sound! It's getting louder!

- Murphy? -

- -

Help me!

What the fuck?

So many people. Who are they?

Central, we have a big problem.

Aye, sir.

He's over here.

- Murphy, are you OK? - Aye, sir.

- What's he looking at? - Aye, sir.

Murphy, what do you see?

Aye, sir.

If you do not do

what you are told to do when you're told to do it,

you will be punished.

- Do you understand? - Aye, sir!

If you leave my base without proper authorisation,

I will hunt you down and throw your ass in jail.

- Do you understand? - Aye, sir!

- I can't hear you! - Aye, sir!

- Scream it! - Aye, sir!

- Your ass belongs to me now! - Aye, sir!

- Are you a human drone? - Aye, sir!

- Are you a killing machine? - Aye, sir!

I'm in control, motherfucker.

- Do you understand? - Aye, sir!

Are you a psycho killer? Say "I'm a psycho killer!"

I am a psycho killer!

- Scream it! - I am a psycho killer!

- Show me your war face! -

You are a pussy! I said show me your war face!

Aye, sir!

We've canvassed the area.

There's no sign of anything, no arcade, no crowd.

There were thousands of people. I saw them.

And they vanished.

Well, there's nothing here.

Something's not right.

Do you hear that?

Central, come in. There's been an incident.

It's Murphy. He needs immediate treatment.

It's too late to save him.

But he can be of greater use. Bring him in for extraction.

Loading the extraction. Put him on the table.

Quick, get his hands!

I'm trying.

Oh, my God.

Almost ready.

We don't have much time.
