I think they’re required to follow protocol, when they release information. So far, this is what I’ve been able figure:
Step 1: Tell everyone it’s really nothing. Just someone roasting marshmallows on the reactor core, and they got a little overdone.
Step 2: After it’s obvious the original explanation makes no sense, offer another one.
Step 3: Repeat step 2 as many times as you think you can get away with it.
Step 4: If there’s no way to hide the fact that everyone’s hair is falling out, admit that the reactor core is melting. And make sure you stress the point that it poses no more risk than a shopping cart full of bananas.

Most people tend to run a half marathon before running a full marathon. A half marathon will help to physically prepare
the body for the 42.195 kilometers (26.2 miles) that makes up a marathon. Running a half marathon is both physically and
mentally demanding. For those who have never run this distance before, it is imperative to train correctly.
