276)
1: It is I, Vice-President Martha Gorman!!
2: Write up a new story this instant!!
3: I'll explain the details to you later, just make sure it's a super-exciting story capable of keeping peoples' eyes glued to the screen!!
4: And make sure that it does not require any outside greenery to be shown!!
5: And nothing that will make them think of plants!!
6: And an extremely moving story!!

277)
1: Mr. President, he replied immediately and said he has a story!!
2: A building crumbles onto a huge garbage disposal site, where everyone falls into a deep crack made by earth's tectonic plates, but they're saved at the last minute!!
3: There is room for a lot of rescue drama on their way down 2,000 meters below the earth. It all happens in a hotel that was built on top of one of the disposal site's main pipelines over a Caribbean Plate!
4: Okay, let's go with that!!
5: Does anyone have any other objections?!
6: Then I will hurriedly end this meeting. I want to explain this to other world leaders, so if you'll please excuse me!!
7: I must speak with the other world leaders!!
8: I will switch the code over to all of them, sir. I'm sure they're all waiting!!
9: ka-chak

278)
1: snap
2: President Young, sorry about earlier. It's Misaki from Japan.
3: The same thing is happening in Europe!!
4: President Jour from France here!!
5: All of the plants are withering here too!!
6: The withering started in the west in America, and is now gradually working its way around!! But many people have still not noticed!
7: But I'm sure many will notice once morning comes!!

279)
1: The same thing is happening in Africa!!
2: And in Austria!!
3: And in the jungle of Indonesia!!
4: We have no choice but to look at this as a worldwide danger!!
5: Thank you all for joining me in this emergency meeting today!!
6: I have no idea as to the reason for this situation, but I think it is a new danger for us humans to face!!
7: Even if this is only a temporary thing, it will still cause a panic!!
8: Therefore I would like to ask for all your help!!
9: Please try and broadcast shocking news in order to keep the people's eyes off the withering of nature.

280)
1: On my end, we have created a story where a hotel falls 2000 feet below the earth, and are saved at the last minute!
2: As I'm sure you all know, in our country we have built garbage disposal sites over tectonic plates, and then pipeline magma through to burn up the rubbish! If someone is caught up in there, escape is impossible!!
3: Luckily, we have surveillance TVs positioned in the disposal tunnels, so that everything can be seen from above!!
4: If you have no objections, then I want to put this plan into effect immediately, okay?!
5: China here. Don't you think there are moral problems with that plan?!
6: Are you really going to cause an accident like that?!
7: Regarding that,

281)
1: I personally wanted to be honest with my people and tell them the truth!!
2: However, it has been determined that this situation is something that defies understanding!
3: Therefore, we have come up with this solution in order to avoid a greater panic!!
4: This is no more than a trick!! Not a real event!!
5: Kim from Korea here. Aren't you afraid of people finding out that it's a trick?!
6: You don't have to worry about that. Our special effects technology is the best in the world!!
7: I'm going to have a Hollywood studio film it!!
8: We of course intend to utilize the most advanced effects in full!!
9: Understood. Then we will start to create similar broadcasts!!
10: We too in Russia!!
11: And in India!!
12: And us too!!

282)
1: Okay!!
2: I want to keep in contact from here on out to make sure we can get to the bottom of this as fast as possible. I'm counting on you all!!
3: Now, Carolus! I want to see what's happening to these plants with my own eyes!!
4: Yes, sir!!

2: I never thought there'd be this much!!
3-4: bababa
5: Everything's dead as far as the eye can see!!
6: I was underestimating this!! It will definitely cause a massive panic!!
7: No scientist could have predicted this would happen!!
8: Just what is happening to the Earth? Or is human civilization to blame here?
9: Mr. President, we just got a call from the Vice-President!!

286)
1: snap
2: Mr. President, it is I, Vice-President Martha!!
3: We are about to begin the scene where the hotel falls into the garbage disposal site!!
4: Of course, the people of the hotel are still asleep and have no idea what is happening!!
5: The truth is, we have decided to film this as a documentary without using any special effects!!
6: Ehh?!
7: Wait!! You're not going to use a studio?!
8: That won't be enough to shock the world!!
9: This will be 100% real, including the hotel and the people sleeping there!
10: W-what?!

287)
1: But that alone will not be enough to create the kind of stir we're looking for, so we made it so that the families of the people in the rescue team will be visiting the hotel at the moment of the disaster. The minute they enter the hotel, a terrorist bombing with begin and sink the hotel into the earth, right into a river of trash!!
2: While the world has their eyes on that, we will instantly create artificial greenery and install it in place. With this, standby is OK. I will now show you the scene itself!!
