US
SENATE, UK & EU PARLIAMENTS: CHAMBERS OF DENIAL - 'OILGATE'
SCANDAL
INT. HOUSE OF COMMONS - LONDON - DAY
The chamber is a cacophony of SHOUTING, paper shuffling, procedural protests.
RT HON. GERALDINE RAYE MP (50s, formidable, fiery) stands, her voice cutting through the din.
GERALDINE RAYE MP
Is the Minister seriously telling this House
that neither he—nor any member of this government—was aware of the radiation leak, the procurement fraud, or indeed the falsified arrests tied to these environmental protestors?
NICK JOHNSON MP (40s, front bench, face drained but defiant) shifts uncomfortably.
NICK JOHNSON MP
Madam Speaker, ongoing investigations are being carried out. I cannot comment on an active national security matter.
Raye’s fist SLAMS into the dispatch box.
GERALDINE RAYE MP
Don’t insult this chamber with platitudes! We now know two senior officials held undeclared shares in
North Sea drilling consortia. That alone constitutes criminal conflict of interest under the Ministerial Standards Act!
Murmurs rise, growing louder. Johnson clutches his notes, visibly sweating.
GERALDINE RAYE MP
And—
She adds, her voice cutting, cold.
GERALDINE RAYE MP
—shall we review the footage released by Ms. Charley Temple—of peaceful protestors being brutalized in
Scotland Yard holding cells? Or will that too be deemed ‘classified’?
From the opposition bench, a voice rings out, clear amidst the chaos.
OPPOSITION MP (O.S.)
Is this a government or a syndicate?!
UPROAR erupts.
INT. EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT - BRUSSELS - DAY
The modern, expansive chamber. COMMISSIONER DAAN BROEKMAN (50s, Green Alliance, clipped with fury) stands, holding a stack of printed reports.
DAAN BROEKMAN
The data leak from this British journalist reveals emission levels in the North Sea twelve times the permitted EU cap! And yet—no notification, no coordination, no maritime containment protocols engaged! What kind of post-Brexit cooperation is this?!
A GERMAN DELEGATE (40s, face pink with exasperation) cuts in.
GERMAN DELEGATE
It’s not cooperation. It’s concealment!
Another MEP (O.S.) shouts from across the room.
MEP
And they lecture us on transparency!
The room VIBRATES with tension. Broekman leans forward, pressing his palms down on the page.
DAAN BROEKMAN
If this isn’t a marine Watergate, it is at the very least Oilgate. And I suggest we open an immediate independent review under the European Maritime Safety Agency!
APPLAUSE—scattered at first, then swelling into a wave.
INT. UNITED STATES SENATE - HEARING CHAMBER - WASHINGTON D.C. - DAY
A packed, imposing hearing chamber. SENATOR ADRIANA GATES (50s, sharp, commanding) adjusts her microphone, turning toward the DIRECTOR OF NAVAL INTELLIGENCE (60s, stiff, uncomfortable).
SENATOR GATES
Explain to me, Admiral, how a state-of-the-art British attack submarine goes rogue, undetected, and ends up leaking reactor coolant halfway across the
Atlantic... and we find out from the
BBC?
The Admiral clears his throat, visibly squirming.
ADMIRAL
With respect, Senator, the Neptune was not rogue. It was stolen. That is to say—commandeered. We’re still determining the nature of the breach.
Gates narrows her eyes, unmoved.
SENATOR GATES
And these protestors—‘Terramentals’—they made their case to the UN before we even saw this radiation map.
She holds up CHARLEY TEMPLE’S REPORTS, their pages covered with charts and data.
SENATOR GATES
It took a whistleblower, a marine conservationist, and an AI-powered sailboat to figure out what intelligence agencies missed?
A JUNIOR SENATOR (30s) leans toward his mic, intrigued.
JUNIOR SENATOR
What kind of AI-powered sailboat?
SENATOR GATES
(Drawing a sharp line through her notes)
No further questions.
INT. MINISTRY OF DEFENCE - PRIVATE BRIEFING ROOM - LONDON - DAY
ADMIRAL LAURENCE (60s) sets down the intercepted transcripts on the polished table with grim finality. PRIME MINISTER
EDWARD THOMAS (50s) skims the top page, blanching.
PM THOMAS
(Quietly, the gravity sinking in)
So Wallace was right.
ADMIRAL LAURENCE PERCIVAL
Yes, Prime Minister. The bolt-heads were glued in place.
Silence hangs heavy in the room.
PM THOMAS
Get me Storm. Before the vultures start circling the wreckage. And tell MI6—Everington’s to be watched, not warned.
