Day III begins with a bad morning for oil man Ben Flack at his Nigerian Delta platform in scene 11 "Delta Blues." Few people know the growing importance of Nigeria in the US energy picture, and they would be surprised to learn that more oil arrived at US terminals from Nigeria than from Saudi Arabia as 2010 began. These next scenes, while continuing two of the major plot lines, also serve to relate key facts in the background concerning the oil industry.
Scene 12 returns to Fairchild & Company aboard their flagship Argos, where we learn more of their dealings and impending operations in "Contracts." Events are about to bring these two plot lines into collision, as the dealings of CEO Elena Fairchild suddenly run in tandem with those of Ben Flack's Nigerian operation.
