Good evening, everyone. I hope you're doing well.

If we haven't met before, I'm David Xanatos, founder and CEO of Xanatos Enterprises. I have a couple of things to discuss tonight, so please bear with me.

Firstly, I'm happy to announce that I've taken over the role of Director at Xavier's School for Imports outside of Heropa, filling a more financial-oriented role with the always-capable Robert Callaghan as Headmaster. Import youth of all ages who would like to learn more about controlling their powers or who simply want a student body filled with people like them are welcome to enroll at any time, and we're always hiring for teachers and staff positions.

Secondly, I'm looking for science-minded individuals to collaborate with myself and Tony Stark in the design and construction of a state-of-the-art, multi-billion-dollar research facility near De Chima. The sole stipulation is that any discoveries made there be made available for others to build on, for the advancement of all.

I'll be happy to take any of your questions in the meantime.

Two. Audio

[When the audio feed initializes, there isn't a sound right away, and then there's a gentle clearing of the throat before Thane actually speaks.]

In my time here, I have noticed something about humanity. You have hundreds of days commemorating events: birthdays, memorial days, celebrations of the births of dead leaders.

[He pauses for a moment. Thane doesn't usually address this many people at one time.]

I have seen several shops advertising that Sunday, the 21st of this month, is Father's Day here. Do your worlds celebrate Father's Day also?

[Another pause, and when he speaks again, there's a note of nestalgia in his voice.]

If so, and you are a father, I would like to wish you a happy Father's Day. [He thinks that's the proper sentiment.] One father to another.

Assigned jobs, assigned homes. All necessities and what have you just... provided for us.

On the basis we play nice and all be heroes. Now... does anyone here think that's a bit odd? I mean, there's so much anonymity possible!

Who's to tell if one of us -- oh, I don't know -- strays from the path?

I mean, you can't even see my face! If I started running amok with these magic powers, but never said a word? How would you know? [Ultron laughs, right there, though.] Of course, there's not much a college professor could do, is there? Except fail students.

I suppose that's terrifying enough.

[Fishy, fishy Ultron. As much deadpan snark as there is in the words, every answer will be cataloged. Noted down. What better way to gather information than by mocking the system?]

Anything of note, yet?
