Well, it's funny how quickly time flies when you're having fun, isn't it? [ Oh there's so much sarcasm there. He's had such a great week. Actually, there's a pretty annoyed edge to his tone. ]

I want to thank eveyrone who's stayed calm over the past week and a half. The way the community's pulled together has been really inspiring. I know I can't speak on a national scale, or even a state-wide scale [ :( ] but I can assure you that as a city, we're going to make sure that we have procedures in place, and that we can do everything we can to ensure both the safety of both the natives, and you. If anyone has any suggestions, my brand new communicator's on, and my door's open, so I'd be happy to entertain any ideas.

That being said, please remember that the authorities are out there to help you, and if you suspect something shitty's going down, I'd encourage you to report it to the people you trust the most, as well as the police.

[ A small pause. He taps a pen on the table. ]

Stay safe out there, and let's pray we're overreacting.

What about it?

[viced]

What the fuck? You know what!

[bringerofwar]

Yeah, trust and prayer does sound like a pretty great strategy right about now.

[viced]

And communication, that part's really fucking important, thank you!

[phobic]

What an assortment of comforting lies. You must have fantastic PR people.

[viced]

Who said anything about lying? Everything I say, I mean. [ asldkjfasdf oops. a lie ]

[im_a_shaaaaaaaaark]

Wait, overreactin' to what?

[viced]

I don't know, maybe all this alien shit going around?

[out_of_time]

Thank you for saying this, sir. I think it's something we all needed to hear.

Mister Mayor, there's something you should know. I spoke to one of the people familiar with these aliens, known as 'She-Hulk.' She said they like to replace and impersonate authority figures most of all, people in power. That makes the City's leadership a target. You and the people around you are at risk. [But so are Jack and his colleagues, for that matter]

Voice; ENCRYPTED

[viced]

Yeah, I figured that part out. We need to be careful, Jack. I want check-ins for the cops, and I want any suspicious behavior investigated.

[boogiewoogiebugleboy]

I feel like I owe you an apology, sir.

Encrypted;

[viced]

You do? Did you let that guy into my office?

[seeress]

I do love it when you act so responsible, Mitchell.

[viced]

You know, sometimes it feels good to straighten my jacket and be the adult in the place.

[ He's been paying attention to the situation but has been silent so far. People worrying about aliens in disguise is a scenario he does not want to draw attention towards himself in, but, well, he's starting to calculate how to use the situation to his benefit. ]

I see you are on top of things, Mayor Hundred. This will strain relations you understand. It is highly likely that the native Earth populous will start looking at us with distrust. It might also be best to deal with the relations between the human and non-human imports before ties are severed between the groups. The -- method of revealing the threat seems to have put some of them on edge.

Voice

[viced]

I agree. It's pretty horrific to be shown dead alien bodies. That's why I want you to work on smoothing things down with the community leaders. Let them know we're going to do everything in our power to help make sure this doesn't get out of hand.

[meowminx]

How inspiring.

[viced]

Well, you know. I do what I can when I can.

(voice.)

[solidorkable]

Mayor Hundred, should you need anything more assistance, I would be happy to provide it.

(voice.)

[viced]

Well, I can't keep you too long, you've still got school, but while you're here, I'll keep you busy, okay?

How much do you know about crisis prevention and gearing up for a crisis?

(voice.)

[joanie]

It must be quite annoying being able to say these things calmly.

(voice.)

[viced]

Annoying? No, not really. The annoying part is not being able to offer more.

voice

[currentcy]

Wow, I feel so safe and reassured right now.

voice

[viced]

Well, that was the goal. Glad to see it's working.

[notpredictable]

Such inspiring words, truly.

[viced]

Well shit, with all these compliments, it's a wonder I can get anything done!

[enigmaestro]

I suppose we ought to start planning.

[viced]

I'd say so. I don't know how much time we have.

[video]

[trueltning_fury]

Finally, someone offers some worthy advice.

Though I don't envy your station right about now, Mr. Mayor. As for me, I'm subscribing to the wait-and-see philosophy.

[video]

[viced]

I was under the impression that hard facts about the green dick-licks was more valuable than inspirational words. Thank those guys, not me.

[bullseye]

You and Deputy Gayor are like numeros uno and dos on the impersonation list.

What say we start choppin' off some fingers just to be sure, heh heh.

[enigmaestro]

This idea is vetoed.

I'm no strategist, but I can offer information. And resources.

Been collecting it, have you? What resources are you offering?
