“Activate Salesforce.”

“Ma’am, are you sure?”

“Do it.”

“Activating Giant Mecha Salesforce Tower. You know there is no walking back from this…”

“I am well aware, yes. Have it shore up the Millenium. We need to buy time. Evacuate the Transit Center.”

“Good. Do it. Hell, it could have been much worse.”
