Uncle BAM wants you!

[A neutral, digitally-created female voice speaks. This message is spoken in English, but there are many like it utilizing various global languages. They can be found anywhere, everywhere: on the internet, on television, on the radio.]

People of the world: now is the time for change. Now is the time for renewal. For too long, we have been at the mercy of random horror and crippling madness. We have weathered destruction and profound loss, we have suffered beyond comprehension, we have endured cruelty so inhumane and so astonishing.

[Images flash over the screen, clips of past media recording. HIVE and Los Angeles in ruins, the Major and his war ships. Zombies. The Joker. Norman’s Avengers and Time Square and a gruesome headshot of Cavil. Vampires. More of the Major. Old footage of post-Godzilla wreckage. Big Ben's noticeable absence in London. The image of an entire New York City block exploding along with mayoral candidate Geraldo Bendis. Gamzee’s face. The Aleutian Islands.]

For too long, we have shuddered in fear and cowered in sorrow. For too long, we have been afraid to grow. But. No. Longer.

[Cut shot to the members of M.A.J.E.S.T.Y. Not pictured: True-Blue and Ultranova.]

We created heroes. We created M.A.J.E.S.T.Y. to protect all peoples, from all walks of life. They are the people’s champions, and they belong to you. Inspired by the ImPorts, we strove to create and design a new breed of possibility. And we succeeded.

We created superheroes. We created the Metamen.

You, too, can be a Metaman. You, too, can change the world.

[Images of the countries Greenland, Dolvania, the US, England and France break off from a holographic world map and piece together, forming a jigsaw visual of a triangle. ]

We are Vulcanus, and we are here awaiting you.

Welcome to the new world order, hero.

ooc || That’s right, folks, the people behind M.A.J.E.S.T.Y. go beyond the US Government – this is an international operation, and they are opening the doors to imports and natives alike. Vulcanus has been an underground, active group for some time, slowly rearing to explode. You may have noticed their trademark around. Expect reactions to this unraveling, both from NPCs and the natives themselves.

[She takes a minute to admire her work that they've just aired.]

Hm, you think people would realize that all of these organizations with fancy acronyms just don't work.

This is going to end well.

Yours didn't work.

S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't work. H.A.M.M.E.R. was, to put it kindly, a joke.

There is no reason to think that this M.A.J.E.S.T.Y. group isn't going to crash and burn on the decisions of the short-sighted men running it. It's a cute agenda that they have going for them, but really, they're offering powers to juts anybody, and after at least two of their agents have been killed?

Right, they're on the fast track to success.

Notice that isn't mentioned. Their two agents. I wonder how tightly wrapped that is.

But really, who are we kidding? All organized heroism is inherently problematic. Idealism doomed to fail before practicality.

Well, there are few hundred of us here that have it all on video. I say we should make those accidents a bit more public, hmm?

Maybe a few more of them should conveniently disappear.

Oho, what naughty talk to have in such a public venue. What if someone doesn't know you're kidding?

Re: voice;

[personal profile] psychoanalyst 2011-07-30 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Then they wouldn't know me very well at all, now would they?

Now that is an implicit invitation, if I've ever heard one.

It would be fortunate if you're correct, Moonstone.

Best to prepare if you aren't.

[personal profile] psychoanalyst 2011-07-30 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
If I didn't know any better, I'd start to think that you want to go up against these guys.

Would you join me if I did?

Hypothetically.

[She's silent for a long time, and even considers disconnecting, but finally]

Well, I can't let you die while my nanites are still active.
hacktivist: (my missing puzzle piece)

voice; LMFAO I love her so much

[personal profile] hacktivist 2011-08-01 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
[c:] Understandable.

I'll consider it a favor.

voice; encrypted; She can't let her Ghost get killed on terms other than hers <3

[personal profile] psychoanalyst 2011-08-01 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
You know, I'm far too generous when it comes to you... But I definitely don't want these guys giving powers to just anybody.
hacktivist: (only human after all)

Agreed, particularly if it means confiscating ours.

I can disable your nanites and return full functionality for you at your earliest convenience.

[personal profile] psychoanalyst 2011-08-01 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not going to happen. Our powers shouldn't be replicable, and besides, we're too good to be captured.

A logical assessment.

You might want to be careful though. Who knows whether or not they can reproduce your tech?

Hhh. Yes.

The theft of your moonstone would not be impossible either, correct?

They can't replicate it. [She's silent for a minute.] You'll know if they take it from me.

[from his voice, he recognizes how serious this is to her.] Then steps will be taken to prevent that.

[which, from Ghost, is as good as a promise--awkward as it is--that he'll do his best to help keep her being separated from the source of her powers.]
