It's my attempt at a soundtrack with the theme of "Global Communication Blackout" in the genre of "Epic Music".

Narrative for the track:

0:00-1:12 - There's an impending threat of a global communication blackout which is marked by the kill switches being engaged one by one. The organization responsible, then initiates the final blackout sequence which triggers the blackout scene. The protagonists are trying to prevent that from happening, but seemingly they fail.

1:12-1:28 - One of the protagonists receives a call, when she receives it and speaks back, a kill switch terminates her call abruptly. The blackout is almost complete.

1:28-2:32 - Now there's that feeling of desolation in the masses following that blackout. But soon they find out that some sort of communication medium is still active. There's still some hope. Some groups of people slowly start garnering their forces, preparing to fight back.

2:32-3:32 - They fight back for their rights and there is an uprising/protest movement up until the end. But it ends on an uncertain note, with another kill switch being hit.

I wanted to leave the conclusion ambiguous - it's unclear whether the masses are successful in getting back communication or whether they accept and start relying more on direct human communication.
