Tom was at home, surfing the net for news about the earthquakes and "geysers" that have been plaguing Singapore for a while now. It had been 2 months since the strange occurrences started, and it showed no sign of slowing down or dying off. There were many articles circulating across the net about the occurrences, most of them being first-hand experiences and thoughts about the occurrences. However, he came across an article by a scientist from the USGS talking about Singapore. He discussed about the reasons that Singapore was experiencing the strange occurrences and came to the conclusion that Singapore IS a Supervolcano and it is going to erupt soon.
Tom started to panic. "Impossible. No this can't be," he said. He could not bring himself to the conclusion that his country of over 5 million people was about to erupt with devastating consequences. There has to be a mistake, Tom thought to himself. Surely Singapore can't be a volcano? What would this mean if say Singapore was a Supervolcano? If there was an evacuation of the island, where could people go to? And what would happen to the neighbouring countries of Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei and Thailand? Would they also be affected by the eruption? Thoughts flooded Tom's head as he tried to search for answers. He took a look at the geologist's name. Doctor Robby Hugh of the USGS. And he said that he was reporting from Singapore. Tom did not hesitate. He ran out of his house to look for this geologist at once, ignoring his sister's shouts at him.
