a finer world, part 4 ( video )
[ It's a break from tradition: Apollo isn't recording this video from the sky, not today. Because he doesn't have time to make this an epic or pretty or even remotely memorable call to arms. Instead he's storming around Nonah 001 trying to find a clean uniform, because why is it you never have a clean uniform when you need one the most!! He's carrying his comms device as he goes, rummaging and clattering around off-screen as he sorts through his laundry. And judging by his tone Sun Dad is not here to fuck around. ]
A friendly reminder from your local Unsettled hero. [ Yes, hero - not the VIGILANTE currently tattooed on his wrist. ] You don't have to be Registered to help save the world. If you want to get involved but your wrist says the wrong thing, let me know and I'll help you out. If you want to do your own thing that's fine too, I don't care. I just don't want anyone thinking they can't save innocent lives just because the US government doesn't endorse it.
[ He slams a hamper lid. ANGRILY. ]
And don't get me wrong - I'm not here to argue the finer points of why Non-Registered imPorts don't deserve to be second class citizens just because we don't want to sign on the government's dotted line. That's not what this is about right now, not when the Bleed is collapsing around our ears. Because frankly? The multiverse doesn't give a shit what you or I think about Registration. No-one that we save is going to check what's written on our wrist first.
[ In fact, it's hard to tell what's pissed him off most - the Registereds-Save-The-World-Only message from the government or the fact that REALITY IS MELTING. Or maybe the annoying state of affairs his laundry is in. ]
This isn't a recruitment drive. You don't need to join ImPact after this is dealt with. And nobody's going to give you a paycheck or a uniform. I just want you all to know that just because you're Unsettled doesn't mean you can't help save innocent lives too.
[ He gives up his search temporarily, facing the video feed with an expression like thunder. ]
And if anyone tries to arrest an Unsettled imPort for helping I'm going to get angry. After we save the fucking world.
[ Just before the video ends there's a half cut-off mutter of 'Door'. ]
