As the event starts to get underway, Everett and Fay part ways for their respective jobs, the former at the local radio station, and the latter at the town switchboard, but their time spent separately is short. Fay gets to work transferring calls, but she is more than sufficiently weirded out when a distressed neighbor alerts her about a mysterious sighting, and finds her the then dominated by an ominous, otherworldly noise. Contacting Everett, she gets him to play the sound over the air, leading them to start digging into a mystery involving strange military operations, dangerous radiation, missing people, and suspected alien activity.
