Aides
Background
Roy and Dean are presidential aides in Washington, D.C.
During the events of Independence Day (1996) played by Mirron E. Willis and Ross Lacy
July 2nd, Aides tell Constance Spano that the news is running a story that the administration is covering up a nuclear testing experiment and NASA wants to know their position on the phenomenon. The Chief of Staff, General Willkiam Grey, Albert Nimziki and President Thomas J. Whitmore argue on what to do next. Nimziki tells Atlantic Air CINC to upgrade to DEFCON 3. A Commanding Officer walks in and tells the group that the object has split into multiple smaller objects and will be entering their atmosphere soon. General Grey tells President Whitmore about another object heading towards California. General Grey tells President Whitmore that they have an AWACS off the Pacific Coast as Lincoln is on the phone. Radar Techs tell Lt. Peterson and a fellow Pilot that side radar is picking up nothing. Lt. Peterson and the pilot relay this information, but their AWACS explodes when it makes contact with the suddenly appearing large object. Military Aide says they lost the signal and Atlantic Air CINC tells everyone two more objects have been spotted heading towards New York City and Washington, D.C. The Master C.P.O. is talking on the phone as Nimziki tells Whitmore's Aide to organize a military escort, but President Whitmore decides he is staying. President Whitmore tells Constance to have the National Broadcast system advise people not to panic.
