Somehow, they painted a picture that was the exact opposite of reality-
'Sly old man.'
Hearing the load of nonsense that was being broadcast on the screen, Leo couldn't help but complain to himself. Those higher-ups really didn't miss a chance to steer things their way.
After making sure to paint themselves as humanity's saviors, they made sure to throw most of the responsibility onto the Director's shoulders.
'I did expect this to a certain point, but I didn't think they would be this shameless.'
Having envisioned most of the announcement's content, Leo wasn't especially eager to hear it on live TV. A matter this big would definitely be re-screened several times more.
In fact, it just happened that he had been running some errands in the area and went into a random coffee shop for some milk coffee and a complimentary chocolate cake; the timing of the announcement was merely a coincidence.
