WELL NEED A SCAPEGOAT TO BLAME FOR OUR FAILURE ON THIS PROJECT.

NO ONE WILL BELIEVE IT WASN'T OUR FAULT.

ARE YOU KIDDING?

PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE ANYTHING.

WE JUST HAVE TO BE THE FIRST TO FRAME THE SITUATION.

I SUPPOSE WE COULD MAKE OUR LIE SOUND CREDIBLE.

THAT'S OVERKILL.

WE DON'T NEED TO SOUND CREDIBLE?

NOT EVEN A LITTLE.

OUR PROJECT FAILED BECAUSE OF CLIMATE CHANGE.

THAT SOUNDS RIGHT.
