−	A spherical ship emerges from a [[wormhole]] near the ESD's Moon defense headquarters. Levinson is convinced that it belongs to a different extraterrestrial race that is benevolent and urges the world's government not to attack, but President Elizabeth Lanford orders to shoot it down regardless. Against orders, ESD pilot Jake Morrison picks up Levinson, Marceaux, Umbutu, and Floyd Rosenberg on a [[space tug]] and they head for the crash site, where they recover a container from the wrecked ship.

	The mothership lands over the [[Atlantic Ocean]] and begins drilling a hole in the middle of the ocean to harvest the heat of the core, which will destroy Earth's magnetic field in the process. The aliens also raid the [[Cheyenne Mountain Complex]], killing the President along with most of her [[Cabinet of the United States|Cabinet]]. General Joshua Adams, a Cabinet official in Area 51, is named the [[designated survivor]] and [[United States presidential line of succession|immediately sworn in as the 46th President]].
