(1) INT. PETRA’S OFFICE – FORT SALEM – DAY
***** COLONEL JARRETT IS IN THIS SCENE. NO DIALOGUE *****
Petra: Anacostia’s been out of contact for too long. Where are we on combing the surveillance footage?
General Clary: Eighty-five percent complete, still no sign of Captain Quartermain or Woodlot.
Petra: I want fetches placed on every one of Silver’s cabinet members. One of them must know something. The Mycelium’s being poisoned, the President was just assassinated, my Head of intelligence is AWOL. I need answers … now!
Silver: General Bellweather. Happy to hear the urgency. The sooner we find those responsible for President Wade’s tragic death, the better. Sources tell me there’s evidence of the Witchbomb.
Petra: It’s too soon to tell. We’re still analyzing the bomb site, Mr. President. Care to introduce me to your companions? I didn’t realize we were getting new uniforms.
Silver: Oh, the witches won’t be getting new uniforms. These people are part of your new Civilian Oversight.
Petra: My what?
Silver: Yeah. They’ll be on base to help reassure the American people that things are running smoothly during the transition. Meet your personal oversight. Colonel Jarrett.[Colonel Jarrett barely nods at her, maintaining his tough-guy exterior]
Petra: Colonel? I’m always happy to work with patriots. Witch or non-witch.
Silver: I’m so pleased to hear you say that.
(2) INT. NECRO LAB – FORT SALEM – DAY
[Izadora opens the door to Petra, standing in the hallway with Colonel Jarrett, in tow]
Izadora: General Bellweather. Come in.
[Petra walks in. Colonel Jarrett starts to follow when Izadora steps in front of him]
Izadora: You are more than welcome to join us, Colonel Jarrett, but I should warn you that there are frequencies of sound in here that could alter certain organs of yours. Perhaps you prefer to join my oversight in the hallway? Would either of you like a chair?
Jarrett: We’ll stand.
[Izadora closes the door]
Petra: (Sigh) Thought I’d never get rid of him.
