Synopsis/Details
In a completely air-polluted world where everyone must wear a mask outside, Ainsley, a dispatch and scientist, is caught and interrogated by Cody, who supports the governments against the aliens. Cody tells Ainsley that all dispatches they caught have nothing in the attaché cases and wonders what was in them. Ainsley informs her that Cody released it before any of the scientists could reach the world diffuser. In return for sanctuary, the aliens promised to purify all of the earth's atmosphere yet it ended up being all wasted on only one city when it could have been spread over the world almost instantaneously as a gift of love and thanksgiving.
