My personal bodyguards were the very best of the Secret Service. The creme de la creme of government operatives. They'd each performed dozens of hazardous missions as they worked their way up to their calling's top assignment: me.

Now they would go one better.
They would avert the crisis.
They could do it.

And I would lead them.

There were objections, but I was adamant. Something had to be done. The world was at a breaking point...

And so was I.
