Hey, imports. I don't know how many of you follow the news routinely, but... I figured I would come on here, while my press guy goes to tell the news outlets.
[ He looks away from the screen, for a moment, before back to the camera. ]
Effective...well, as soon as it can be arranged, I've decided to give up my position as ambassador of De Chima, Virginia. I'd like to thank everyone for their support, and their willingness to let me nose in on your lives and your opinions, and I hope... that in the future, you'll allow me to keep doing that.
I'm not exactly done with politics, or I'd probably have stopped breathing by this point. I'm not really in the business of giving up, but... When opportunity strikes...
[ Another pause. This one considerably longer. He tipped his head, as if he was listening to something off-screen. Of course, he was. ]
So, it's official. This one's mostly for anyone currently living in Virginia -- hopefully you'll be voting, and if you do, I'll appreciate your vote in November. I'll be running to become your elected Sentor in DC.
But, obviously, more than that, I'd appreciate hearing what's important to you. Just because I'll -- hopefully -- be one of the honorable senators for Virginia, doesn't mean I don't intend to forget about the rest of you imports. I'd like to take our voices to the Senate floor, whenever possible.

I've gotten better at it, too. Which helps. Back when I was younger, it was all I could do to not stay at work all day. I kind of missed out.
[ He also had an impending invasion to prevent. ]

[ She realizes after all this time, she doesn't know much about Mitch... ]
video
I spent a couple of months in a very poorly-advised attempt at being a superhero. After I figured out I was doing more harm than good... then I went into politics. I've been in it since -- Christ collectively it's probably closing in on fifteen years?

And a jetpack.
[ He looked ridiculous. ]
It was a bad idea.
video
Sounds like you went all out.
But this job isn't for everyone ‐ which isn't a bad thing. We don't get paid well.
[ Or at all. ]
video
[ And low-income housing. And SNAP benefits.
It was a dark time. ]
It was never about the money anyway. We were just...incompetent. And really, my world wasn't one that would ever be friendly to superheroes. I was the only one.

I was gifted with superpowers. It seemed appropriate.
[ "gifted" ]
video
[ She's not going to judge him for it. It just... happens for whatever reason. ]
But hey, you're still doing good at least.
video
You know, I tried to stop a guy from getting smashed by a train, and... I shut the entire railways down for almost an entire night. Sometimes, it's just best to recognize that you're really meant to do more harm than good, if you're in a certain field.
[ And for him? That was doubly true. ]
video
I mean, to be fair I've wrecked quite a few things over the years. Never meant to, but it's tricky when someone's punching you throw not just one, but several walls.
video
Powers are... problematic. At times. They can cause a lot of damage.
video
[ Even as a full-fledged superhero. New Yorkers. ]
They... can if not used properly. Plenty of people with it have good intentions, but not the proper training. Unfortunately, even as imPorts we haven't always demonstrated the best control either.
video
It's nothing against the population, but... we really struggle with that. Some people have never had powers before, or we have things that can try our ability to control them -- for those of us who've had them for a while.
It's hard, for any population to be accepting with as much damage as we've caused.
video
[ Especially now that the war has escalated and they've got more international eyes on them than before. ]
Think they'll bring that up against you when you're running for the Senate?
video
We need solutions to this kind of problem, for sure. I don't think it's one with a simple answer, either.

Just ignore him. Give him this moment, Peej. ]
That means a lot.
