MARTIN
(frantic) Wake up. Wake up. Wait, John, John, John, WAKE UP!

[He slaps the Archivist; the Archivist immediately shudders awake with a disoriented yell.]

ARCHIVIST
(dazed) Uh– Wh– Martin?

MARTIN
John!

ARCHIVIST
Wha– Wh– (more lucid) Oh god. What– What happened?

MARTIN
I, I don’t, I don’t know; everything– (close to tears) It’s all gone wrong!

ARCHIVIST
Help me up!

[He grunts as Martin does exactly that, breathing heavy.]

MARTIN
No, no, no – don’t, don’t go outside. It’s– It’s real bad.

[Silence as the Archivist presumably goes to the window.]

ARCHIVIST
Oh god.

MARTIN
I don’t know if it’s just here, or –

ARCHIVIST
No. No, it’s everywhere. They’re all here now. (voice shaking – but in awe?) I can feel all of it.

MARTIN
John. John, I’m scared.
