Scene Intro
Delia Marsh built every flight path in Grant's drone show and never got her name on any of them. Tonight, at the fair that could save his company, he thanks someone else over the speakers. She pulls the launch key. You're Isaac, the county liaison who always asked for her by name.

Talia comes around the corner, sees it, and stops walking.
