Reporter's Script for New Planet Announcement

The Reporter’s Prepared Planet Announcement Script is the linchpin of this event, serving as both a prop and a narrative device that shapes the public’s first perception of the new planet. Physically, it is a single sheet of paper—thin, vulnerable, and easily crumpled—yet its contents carry the weight of a global announcement. The script is carefully worded to balance scientific revelation with public reassurance, framing the planet’s discovery as a curiosity rather than a threat. Its role is twofold: to provide the Reporter with a scripted safety net, allowing him to deliver the news without deviation, and to act as a symbolic barrier between the raw truth and the public’s consumption of it. The script’s existence implies a level of control and preparation, but its brevity and the Reporter’s occasional glances at it suggest that even the most rehearsed words cannot fully contain the unease of the moment.
