As the lights fade on the bus stop, we hear a voice over speakers, "My fellow Zeros..." and the lights begin to rise on The Zero Club, a huge unfinished loft space hung with anti-nuclear posters, flyers, civil defense logos, etc.

Octavia Valentine stands on a small makeshift stage next to a motley band of ... well, a band: A funky upright piano, an old set of trap drums, and an upright bass.

"Let me welcome you once again to another Zero Club Blast, where the fun is dispensed by the megaton!" Octavia continues, speaking into a hand-held mic, as the Zeros from the bus-stop rush in the door and hang up their coats, and other Zeros stretch and limber up on the floor. Octavia goes on, "As you know, our motto is 'Be There!' In the aftermath of 'The Big One' it is said that the living will envy the dead. Well, don't let that happen to you! Don't envy the dead, BE the dead! Join the vanguard as we enter the next phase of the nuclear age!"

Octavia begins the song "Megatons of Fun" and Zeros join in.
