Kage's Change Plot
4:46 PM
3 Feb 08
University of Phoenix Stadium, Arizona
Just as Kage had done for his previous missions, he scouted out the objective and researched relevant information as much as possible.
The stadium seats 63,400 for Cardinals games, but will provide approximately 10,000 more seats for Super Bowl XLII. The roof has two large retractable panels that uncover the entire playing field while providing maximum shading for fans. The roof can be closed and the facility air conditioned in the hot months, while the roof can be opened to take advantage of the Valley's world-famous climate in cooler months.The grass field rolls out of the stadium on an 18.9-million-pound tray, residing outside of the stadium except for football and soccer events. With the field in the outboard position, the 158,000-square-foot floor is unencumbered by the turf and features a built-in utility grid. The grass field remains outside the stadium in the sun until game day, which allows for the maximum amount of sunshine and nourishment, eliminating humidity problems inside the stadium and providing unrestricted access to the stadium floor for events and staging. Completed in the fall of 2006 and built specifically to showcase Arizona's next Super Bowl, this $455 million architectural wonder is the most advanced sporting facility in the world. The facility has been voted "Best NFL Facility" by Street & Smith's Sports Business Journal and Sports Business Daily. The stadium has also been named one of the Top 10 stadiums in the world by Business Week.
Perfect.
Kage thought to himself. He surveyed just how much security would be present at the big game. He mapped out exits, security checkpoints, restrooms, merchant shops, concession stands, estimated fans watching, live media coverage, journalists, etc. This was perfect for optimum casualty and damage.
All Kage needed to do was execute. 4:18 PM had been the kick off, and the game had already been in play for almost half an hour. Weeks before, Kage had scoped out the stadium and began hiding lethal explosive charges all about the bowl on all levels at regular intervals. The support beams, tresses, and lights were rigged with explosives also. This half-time show would be booming with excitement. This was a difficult decision for Kage; whether or not to execute with players on the field or during half-time. He discerned that it really didn't matter, but that he would be halting NFL games for a while either way.
Deciding to go with the half-time show, he walked down a flight of steps mid-field. He had the whole stadium in front of him. THe stage was already out on the field. And the performers began their little entertainment routine capturing the attention of practically everyone in America & maybe even some other foreign countries. Kage remotely took control of the closeable roof and waited until it was completely closed before activating the teleportation sequence, aiming for center-stage. When he came out of his split-space travel, he calculated that all cameras were on him. This was his moment; he detonated all charges on the upper levels, the support tresses, the lights and the lowest level exits. The only lights that allowed visibility was the light from the firey explosions going off all around the stadium. At least one thousand might already be dead.
Kage started firing his weapon at people that were screaming and frantically searching for an exit. He had those rigged too. The upper level exits collapsed leaving staircases as the only avenue of escape. In a panic, people crawled over each other in order to save themselves; the error of human nature, hardly any concern for others. After Kage had eliminated most of the performers on the field with just a rifle and a shotgun, he calculated that it was time to set off the middle levels. That was Kage's tactic. Blow the upper levels and let people funnel down to the mid and lower levels, and blow those up in succession. Because he had blown the lowest level exits, there was practically no escape unless Kage had missed a detail; highly unlikely.
Kage was careful to spare the camera crews and not disrupt the live media coverage. He wanted to maximize that as much as possible. After the whole catastrophe, he was able to calculate that he had exceeded his expected death toll. Even impressed with himself, he really began asking himself why he hadn't started doing this sort of work before.
