[ The young man on the screen looks a hell of a lot like Admiral Miles Naismith, or (a bit less) Dr. Hermann Gottlieb - he's clearly small like Miles, just from the angle of the camera and the proportions of the chair in comparison to him. But he's also fairly recognizably different. He doesn't have Miles' Cool Facial Scar (tm), for one. He's a little fatter, too - just a little. And he's dressed much differently: black, expensive clothes, black tie over a black shirt under a black suit jacket, not exactly tasteful but pricy. Hair slicked back. The kid is trying hard to look cool, and he's poured almost enough money into his wardrobe to accomplish it. ]
Hello.
[ This is a Businessman Smile that he flashes at the camera. ]
My name is Peter Kane. I'm very grateful to the imPort community for being very helpful when I arrived last month - [ And he pronounces that very smugly, because he wants everyone to be impressed by his conspicuous wealth having been accumulated in only a month. ] And so I'm going to offer you all an opportunity. And I wouldn't recommend that you pass it up.
PKE - that stands for Peter Kane Enterprises - a full-service investment firm - is offering you a golden opportunity. I'm willing to take all of you on as clients, to manage your money and make you all rich.
What am I offering? I'm guaranteeing you at least an eighteen percent return on investment. [ Which is really good, though he mysteriously looks a little disgruntled when he makes that promise. He could do much more, but...he'd sooner that it not be really obvious that he's cheating using his Porter-given power. Sooner not deal with the SEC... ] All I ask for is a five hundred dollar initial minimum and a year guaranteed commitment. Which is low and generous. I'm going to be asking for much more from non-imPorts. [ When he's built up enough of a reputation to actually be able to pitch things to non-imPorts. This is less charity, more desperate nosing around for clients to build capital. ]
Contact me if you're interested in getting in on the ground floor of this incredible opportunity. Or you'll need to come to terms with the fact that you turned down the opportunity to make enormous amounts of money. So if you love poverty, feel free to ignore this message.
Kane out.

familyfriends who make similarly ridiculous statements - and the urge to help, genuinely. He decides on a mixture of both. ]Really, Mr. Kane. "If you love poverty"? And here you criticize me for laying it on thick. It's a good thing you're so damn competent at this.
video
[ The smile that the clone shoots back at his progenitor is smug in the extreme. ]
I couldn't forgive myself if I didn't clearly communicate the advantages of investing with my company. After all, fortunes are at stake.

Are you using an ability for that? You could get in a lot of trouble.

Gossip that Dorian just sounds slightly put out about. ]
He's the emperor! Did you know that Gregs was the fucking emperor?
video; private
[ He did know, of course. And so maybe there's something a little guilty in his smile. ]
Well, we figured he was hiding something, right? I wouldn't have guessed it was something that big, though.

The money will go to any future versions of you that show up after a year if you disappear. If you don't trust you'll stick around, then be pleased with yourself for investing to help your spiritual descendants.

You have my interest, Peter Kane. But I do not invest my money lightly. How can I know that you will deliver on your confident guarantees?
Video
Because I have a proven record. Which is why I waited until now to make this announcement - I was building my portfolio. Which is impressive, believe me.

Oh, I don't know. What if I'm feeling homesick for the days of living in a cramped little house in Lowtown, complete with no money and rats avoiding the place because even they knew better?
[ Which is definitely sarcasm. Cheerful-sounding sarcasm! But still, sarcasm. ]
voice;
You can do that just as well with a fortune in your pocket. Tuck the money away and pretend it doesn't exist, pay for the best rat-repelling systems to keep them away and pretend it's out of contempt.

Why the bit about guaranteed commitment?

though granted, usually it looks a lot older. And that face is smiling too! Can't resist leaning in and smiling back.]Your offer sounds almost too good to be true, señor Kane. Investing is risky business, particularly during times of war.
video
[ He laces his fingers together and leans back in his seat. ]
Times of war, if anything, are particularly opportunity-rich times for investors. Certain industries boom when conflicts break out.
