Cameras were set up in Stryfe's office, a small crew to operate them standing by as they waited for the Invictus leader. Stryfe read over a few papers given to her by Sonia, giving the woman a slight nod. "I'll take it into consideration." Stryfe told Sonia, "No, don't just take it into consideration, implement it." Sonia retorted.
"We can do more with good science than we can do with developing or building weapons, new armor, tanks, ships." Sonia told Stryfe, "Think of all the people we can help defend themselves against people like the Aschen." Stryfe responded.
"The Aschen aren't the Soviet Union, Fatin. The Soviet Union was officially an atheist state, the Aschen are a theocracy. Do you really think a few new weapons to give you or someone the advantage will stop them?" Sonia asked, "Please, don't tell me you're this naive."
"Ready to roll, Kahuna." A crew member told Stryfe, "We're not done." Sonia said, moving to leave Stryfe's office as Stryfe herself headed to her desk to get in front of the camera.
Stryfe sat down at her desk, clearing her throat. "Okay, we're going live in ten." The director said to Stryfe, giving the woman time to make sure her black pantsuit was fitting perfectly.
"Rolling in three... two..."
Stryfe saw the red light come on, taking up a serious demeanor for the broadcast. "Good evening, people of Terra and anyone watching from abroad. It's been awhile since I have spoken to you, I've been a bit busy. But, I'm on your TV screens, your laptops and your tablets to assure that in the coming weeks things will change."
"For those unaware of who I am due to my reclusive nature, I am Fatin Alfarsi. I am one of two leaders of the Invixtus along with Mary Munroe. Mary is currently apprehending terrorist and murderer Jacob Haley, she'll be back soon." Stryfe said, leaning forward on her desk.
"Firstly, all of those who I have reached out to and those who have reached out to me. I ask that you come see me here at The Palace as soon as possible. We have much to discuss and I'd rather do it in person." Stryfe said, "I look forward to seeing you, I can't wait." She added.
"Secondly, for you people of Terra, I'm not a citizen. I've avoided becoming a citizen over the years, my position now as your de facto president has been stressful, controversial due to the fact that I am not a Terran. But, like you I have endured the pain caused by evil men and their evil weapons. The Aschen, the Taiyou." The Invictus leader explained, "I've fought with you, my friends and family have died with you." She said to the camera.
"I want you, whoever you are, to step up and endure again if we must. With the organization of the military and polices forces showing some promise, I think it's time we start to focus on government and social issues. I'd also like to extend an offer to you all to join the Invictus and aid from here in whatever way you can if you don't like too many restrictions on you."
The Invictus leader cleared her throat, "As for those government issues, I want those with experience and ideas, past and current politicians as well, to come see me and talk to me personally on the level. I'll listen and I'll do more than everything I can to help you." Stryfe promised, "If there are any social issues you wish to be taken care or paid attention to let me know as well. We can't have intolerance being spread, attacks on someone because of who, or what they are. We have a message to send."
"Everyone from Terra is Terran no matter their skin, or presence of fangs, or wings, height, or weight. A unified, equal opportunity Terra is what I want to leave behind my grandchildren if I ever get to around to having children to make me grandchildren." Stryfe said with a chuckle.
"Those who come to me to join the Invictus, I want to let you know that we are not just a military organization. We have a place for many skill sets, for people to learn things. If your interest is military, we can help you. If you'd rather support us and the people through the culinary arts, we can have you." Stryfe said, "Especially with Taco's cooking."
Stryfe was understating Taco's cooking. Nuke a can of spam and then cook it, you had Taco's spaghetti.
"I just want more people to step up and do what they can. We need you, we've always needed you. We need you now more than ever." Stryfe said, "I plead to you, aid this planet and restore it to greatness. Thank you and goodnight. Stay strong, Terra."
With those words the live broadcast ended, the footage probably going to go into syndication and clips reused by news channels.
