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.

John Murphy. Yeah, this network does a really good job of connecting with people.

No shit, man - Murphy. I've never felt more popular in my life.

Yeah, people know me because I was apparently here before but I was older than I am now.

...

That's a weirdly specific thing to have in common.

You too? I'm not even done yet. Apparently, my older self had a boyfriend and he's still here.

Um. If anyone was really close to me before, they're being pretty cagey about approaching me.

Also hooooly shit.

I haven't actually met this person yet either. [ Ronan said that Murphy was good or them. Something that Murphy just could not believe that he was actually good and good for someone. ]

Then how'd you find out about him?

Because there's a guy here - we share the same face - he knew the other me and he told me. I'm staying at his house. Farmhouse, whatever.

[ Wwwwwait. He's met Ronan over the network - and been to his farmhouse - so that actually rings some bells. ]

Ronan?

Yeah, Ronan. We share the same face but his looks better.

How did this guy try to kill you anyway?

He hit me with a train.

What the hell is a train? [ He's born in space one hundred years after the Earth went nuclear. Murphy doesn't even know what a penny is. ]

[ That’s ... not the reaction he was expecting? ]

You don’t know what a train is?

No trains in space.

Yeah - but -

Look, I'll just send you a video of the thing that hit me.

[ He sends over a Bluetube video of a bullet train. ]

I'm a hundred years into the future in some reality.

[ Murphy leans in, eyes squinty. ] Holy shit, dude. How did you not die?

Whoa. I really need to hear more about that.

[ Being from the future, he means. That sounds like a story. ]

And honestly? I don't know. I heal really fast, though. Which was good, because I broke most of my bones.

It's not that interesting. [ Not to Murphy anyway. ]

I'm surprised you didn't explode on impact. Is that one of your powers? Healing fast?

Yeah, healing fast. And being really tough. So I don't explode on impact stuff when like that happens.

You don't look really tough.

What am I supposed to do? Prove it?

Sure, why the hell not.

Okay. Um. What counts as proving it for you?

[ This is such a bad idea. ]

I don't know. Impress me. [ Helpful, Murphy. Really. ]
