[ WP ] Multiple nuclear explosions wipe out several cities in the middle east , but noone knows who deployed the weapons . This is the resulting UN emergency meeting .

Two pairs of feet clamored down the ivory colored hallway and shoved past the towering dark wooden doors into the intense atmosphere of the round room. The United States delegate and her aid had arrived. 
 
 `` Sorry I'm late, The cabinet nearly shit itself trying to deal with the press.'' 
 Everyone nodded in silent understanding. The meeting had now officially begun. The presiding president of the UN began with a report of why everyone was called. 
 
 `` For the official record I will now go over why this meeting was called. In the past 48 hours, fifteen nuclear bombs went off in the Middle Eastern region of the world. No official word has been confirmed on who had set off the bombs. The UN asks all nations who have any knowledge to speak up.'' 
 The room was dead. Suspicious eyes scanned every delegate. Nothing. Even a cellphone going off would be welcomed at this point. The UN president sighed and slumped in his chair. 
 
 `` Fine. If no country is willing to speak up then I move to condemn all countries.'' 
 There was a low murmur. 
 `` It has been too long now that this Union has hidden behind the claim of peace if no country is willing to step toward it!'' 
 Meanwhile sprinting down the hallway was an intern of the UN staff. He burst through the doors and yelled, `` I know who did it!'' 
 Everyone turned to the panting kid. The UN president rushed over to him and tried to calm him down. 
 `` Speak slowly and clearly; who did this?'' 
 
 `` I'll show you.'' The kid took the laptop he was gripping onto and placed it onto China's table and opened it. He linked it to the projector and a picture was illuminated in the back wall. The US delegate stood up while Russia's delegate looked horrified. 
 It was none other than Edward Snowden. A man who claimed he looked out for civilians killed millions just mere minutes. 
 `` How...'' The US delegate asked and looked towards the Russian delegate. He stood up shaking his chair as he did so. But the intern interjected. 
 
 `` He stole codes from multiple nations.'' 
 
 `` How do you know this?'' The Japanese delegate demanded. 
 
 `` He sent a fucking memo to the UN thirty minutes ago. I noticed a new email from our servers and of course thought it could be important. When I saw it was a memo I wondered who could be so stupid as too send something so trivial that I thought it was a joke. I looked at it anyway. This is what it said.'' The intern pulled up the email. 
 
 `` Dear nations, 
 I am disappointed in all of you and even in the nations that are n't there with you. I can safely assume you are all shocked. This was my plan all along. The chaos I created with the NSA scandal was a diversion for the codes I stole. Escaping to Russia was just another step in getting the other codes. Clearly you must all be asking why instead of how now, right? Well, to save time I'll tell you: The world has forced this to happen. No country could see past it's own interests. You have all refused to step up to the world plate! Now, innocent lives have paid the price. It now depends on the coalition of the UN to do what is right..that is if you can figure that out in time.'' 
 It was as the room read the last line that fear set in. It was the following lines that panic set in. 
 
 `` That's right UN. I have all the codes to your nuclear weapons. Either you all must try for peace, real peace, or I send a major city and then some to hell. You have the next 48 hours to come up with something or New York City might be next. Oh, and do n't even think about saying anything to the outside world. Or you all die. Good luck, you'll need it.'' 
 
 The UN president slammed the computer shut. 
 `` It's time then; we must prove that humanity will triumph.'' 
 The stage was set as Snowden sat back in his chair as observed his screen. He smirked at the UN presidents words. Only the brink of destruction can make the world go round, Edward thought.
