The two-part miniseries opens up when a large quake strikes the Seattle area and brings down the Space Needle. Later a bigger quake devours a train and catches some suspicions from our resident [[Ignored Expert]] scientist Kim Delaney. She suspects the quakes are only going to get bigger and will eventually sink the entirety of the West Coast. She plans to counter said problem by [[Deus Ex Nukina|detonating nukes]] at precise locations to stop the fault. |
