Video.

[ For such a chatty guy, Poe doesn't seem to post to the network all that much. And today? He looks decidedly less than chatty.

He's standing on what seems to be the tarmac of a military airfield, dressed very purposefully and carefully in his full Air Force formal uniform, the double bars on his epaulettes marking his rank as Captain. He isn't usually a man for pointless theatrics. (Pointless stunts is another thing altogether, but this doesn't seem to be about that either.) Clearly, the uniform and the setting have a point.

So he gets right down to it. ]


As you may have heard by now, the State Department has declared a national state of emergency thanks to the mess that's going on, and looks like it's getting worse, fast.

I've been asked to talk to all of you on behalf of the brass, here.

While the military has been - uh - less than enthusiastic about hiring imPorts as a whole, and we're still barred from active duty, they've decided to open up recruitment during the current crisis. Just not exactly for the Army.

Essentially, they're looking for super-powered personnel who are equipped to help handle all the damn weirdness that's going on. They're putting together Emergency Response teams, debriefing and giving a little training, then sending them out into the wild. Mandate is to suppress and contain inter-dimensional anomalies and try to stop the things from spreading.

I know a lot of you have mixed feelings about the Military on this world. Trust me, they've got mixed feelings about you, too. But as long as we're living on this planet, we're sharing it, and if everything is going tits up, then it's going to happen to all of us. We may as well work together.

Anyone already on super-powered teams is probably better off staying where they're at - though I can help coordinate you with Government efforts, if you're interested.

Anyone looking to sign up as Emergency Responders should know that only Registered imPorts can apply. Sorry folks, I didn't make that rule, I'm only here to repeat it.

[ He clearly looks a little uncomfortable, though what exactly about the circumstances or what he's saying is making him feel that way is unclear. ]

Regardless of what you think about any of this - for all intents and purposes, and however long you've been here: this place is our home. I don't really care how you figure out to protect it or who you do it with, but we all need to stand together before everything falls apart.

[ He stares at the camera a few more seconds, and then the screen goes black. ]

[Really.]

Six wings and look human? But they still die. Weird.

[He has to think about that because thinking is hard right now for some weird reason.]

In my world we were created, perfect children to safeguard her creation. She was betrayed by The Morningstar, who was highly favored by her. He took half our employees with him and we ended up setting up two different groups who manage humanity.

[Use people like him?

He straightens at that.]


I want to help. I'm made to help and I'm glad to do so
