2 ☄ Video

[The video opens on a guy with a mass of long hair that's being tied behind with both hands. The feed captures his medical coat, and the dim blue hue of monitors to his back. Their light reflects off the metal shelf by his right, whilst his desk sits in darkness, save for a lamp pointed down at the papers on its surface.

Machines hum in the background; together with the ticking of a clock and nearby footfall. He takes a hasty glance and, unsure of how to begin things, shuts his eyes. Does he introduce himself? Does he jump straight to his question? His fingers pull the tie taut then tap his sides. Last month's events were a strange twist of fate - a collapse of logic - that did not allow them peace. Alas! They had raised a question he could not solve alone.

It takes a moment of thought before he talks. His voice is calm but his speech? Noticably slow.]


On examining the situation with the rise of native superheroes, as you call them, I find myself puzzled. We beheld those who were ordinary become capable of the extraordinary. I request you answer one question that's on my mind:

What is the place of imPorts in this world now?

Technology's different. I mean, functionally, not that much, but powers are scarier to people 'cause tech isn't alive, y'know? You can break tech or turn it off or take it away from someone. And sure, what a power does depends on the person who has it just as much as what a knife does but...it's scarier for people, when something like that is part of someone.

It's not fair or right, but they don't like feeling like there's a weapon out there that they couldn't match if they wanted to. Even if the person who holds it doesn't wanna hurt anyone.
