100)
1: rumble
2: bzzt
3-4: rumble

101)
1: bzzt
2: The clouds really are lower!! At this height, lightning used to strike above the Bird, but now it's lower...
3: Look at that!
4: An unsettling aurora, right next to us!!

104)
1: I see it now.
2: The airbuses for the other world leaders have already arrived.

105)
1: This conference is looking to be a very serious one, sir.
2: The newspaper and media keeps talking about it "discussing a bright future for the earth," but...
3: The truth is actually the direct opposite: about the depressing future off the earth.
4: Luckily, however, none of the citizens have realized this...
5: Mmm.
6: And they're expecting that even happier days are yet to come.
7: If they were to find out the truth, though, the rules of society would instantly dissolve.
8: That's why it's such a great relief that Dr. Chicken George has given us the true theory to immortality. They're all absorbed in him at the moment.

106)
1: However, how much longer will we be able to keep the wool over their eyes? Not only has all the green been wiped from the earth, but it seems that the very balance of the planet has collapsed. I'm worried.
2: I have been your secretary for ten years, sir, but how much longer will I be able to serve you...?
3: Don't be ridiculous!! How can I let our future be swallowed up into darkness?!
4: The future must always be rose-colored!! If not, then the human race will not be able to survive!! Understand?

107)
1: Therefore, that news report is correct!! For now, we need a narcotic to keep the peoples' eyes away from the present!!
2: The bigger problem here is President Young, although he is a friend of mine, for he desires to tell the public the truth!!
3: He will probably assert this desire all by himself at this upcoming meeting. But we must get him to bend, at all costs!!
4: He is a great man, but he loves tradition and justice too much. He was born into a far too pedrigreed family!! He doesn't realize that the people he governs do not all possess lofty characters like he does.
5: Iceland is the perfect place to hold this conference. It never had much greenery, and is extremely cold, so people won't come near it. Therefore we don't need to worry about anyone listening in. Come now, let's disembark.
6: rumble

108)
1: rumble
2: whoosh
3-4: rumble
5: bam
6-8: dash

109)
1: creak
2: Ohhh!! President Young.
3: Prime Minister Misaki.
4: Excuse me for calling you so suddenly yesterday.
5: I was just so worried about your son's health, with the world the way it is now.
6: Yes, as I was about yours. Since our sons are the same age, I feel so close to him.

110)
1: President Jour from France, who also has a child the same age as ours, is here too.
2: Bonjour.
3: Ahh, President Jour.
4: Excuse me for earlier.
5: Now, let's all work together to create a better future for our sons and daughters.
6: Don't you think you're forgetting someone?

111)
1: Vice-President.
2: America's Vice-President Gorman, at your service.
3: Vice-President Gorman, I believe it's the first time for us to meet in person.
4: That's right. But I've always been working in the shadow of President Young.
5: However, from now on, I intend to work right alongside President Young.

112)
1: I'm sure you, just like President Young, are in the midst of a dire panic right now.
2: Ehh?!
3: You see, or the sake of justice, President Young is prepared to do the worst. However, in order for the election coming in three months, he absolutely has to send a good image to his people.
4: boop
5: The conference is about to start.
6: boop
7: Here are the papers, sir.
8: Mmm.
9: Let us be off, then.

113)
1: Mr. President!!
2: Unfortunately, Vice-President Gorman, this is a meeting strictly for world leaders, so you may not enter.
3: I'm not that dumb, Mr. President.
4: I simply came here to watch over you.
5: Now, Mr. President, here is some mineral water for when you do your speech.
6: Oh, really?
7: gulp
8: Please hurry, President Young.
9: slam
10: Ho ho ho.

114)
1: His naivete is why people love that man so much.
2: Vice-President Gorman, could that water be...?!
3: Yes.
4: With this water in his body, President Young will surely agree with the rest of the world leaders, including yours.
