Hello, imPorts. Today, I'm here to talk to you about the importance of being a hero.

It's right there, isn't it?

ImPort. Im-port-ance!

[He claps his hands together to punctuate the word and grins.]

You are important, here, to this world as one of its heroes. Like The Avengers or The Justice League, every one of you has or was given some special skills to make you unique and to make you a hero.

It doesn't matter if you don't believe it now. You will. You were brought here for a purpose and you must all act accordingly. It doesn't matter what you did in your past. What counts is the here and the now and moving forward!

Maybe you're already making great strides to help. Maybe you're new and lost. Either way, you are important and a hero and always keep that in mind. With evey action. With every interview. You are the public face of imPorts; all of you!

Be the best hero that you can be and together we can prevail. We will overcome any threat. Break through any boundary. Foil any nefarious scheme. Believe in yourself, and believe in the people around you.

We will win this fight; whatever fight comes our way. Maybe through negotiations. Maybe through physical force. No matter what your power or skillset, you can use it to your best advantage. Your best power is right up here.

[He taps the side of his head.]

Your mind. Your will. Your belief in yourself and in others.

Keep hold of that and you will succeed.

[He looks pleased, pausing a moment before adding.]

Now I am open to any questions you may have. The floor is yours.

[What a ridiculous display. How long has this pompous idiot been here again? And how long has it been since the equally ridiculous broadcast of some pointless apology, utterly irrelevant to the Network at large?]

Does time work differently. Where you are from.

[The network confession hadn't been his choice to make, but he won't admit that for reasons. Motivational speaking is the job he's been given and he's running with it, regardless of his experience or time here.]

Not that I'm aware of.

Then it's a personal choice. To offer us the spectacle of your grand entrance, a nonsensical groveling apology and this uninvited exhortation to heroism in the span of nineteen days.

[ Murphy is absolutely beaming in his cocky sort of way. Grin wide and spread across his face. ]

Rip him a new asshole.

[stop... being so cute, Murphy, Kylo doesn't know how to handle it or the strange satisfaction of being... appreciated? Is that what's happening here??]

Not generally the first target I aim for, but I'll give your suggestion some thought.

[ Murphy, your number one fan in the making. ] Any target is better than none.

Are you ordering a hit, John?

Maybe. What's a hit? He's a little surprised being called by his first name. ]

[Yes, well. Kylo likes it.]

A contract killing. An arrangement between an individual with a grievance and another with the ability to rectify the situation.

Oh. I'll save that for another time.

[And, hopefully, a less public venue? Though honestly Kylo isn't too upset about the idea of Murphy having some powerful friends in his corner spreading a little.]

If you're sure.

He's not worth the time.

True.
Very little on this planet is.

This is the job they gave me and so I am fulfilling that obligation.

We can expect more unsolicited advice in the form of long-winded, saccharine speeches, then. In a week, perhaps. If you're not too busy informing us of any of your many shortcomings you forgot to include in the last of your vitally important announcements.

You're free not to listen.

And you are free to seek a more suitable audience for your performances. Perhaps one you haven't already presented with a series of quickly abandoned lies with ever-decreasing entertainment value.

Actually. I do already have that audience. I make regular public appearances for this job, giving my speeches, with an ever growing fanbase.

But there's always going to be someone who you can't win over and looks like you're it.

This amateur display was intended to win us over.

Really.

You're completely missing the point.

This is a motivational speech - for imPort heroes.

This is not about me. It's about you.

Am I.

You know what it is, to motivate someone. The purpose of a motivational speech. I assume.

It's to make you feel like you can truly be a hero.

Which is nothing at all to do with me or what I want. Is it.

You don't want to be a hero?

I don't know why you're pretending to care what my answer might be. We both know it doesn't matter to you.
