"Welcome!" A rip roar of applause fill the colosseum dome home to the Patriots football team. The stage is outfitted with invisible layers of shielding to prevent attack after the announcement was made on social media that the President himself, in his former style as Animus Corporations CEO, would be hosting an unveilig event.
"I am honored to be able to speak to you all in such a personal capacity...the American people, the people I love!" Beer enhances the decibel level of the plastered crowd of Bostonians as a wave begins of cheers and rising bodies.
"Now, this is not an event used to be melancholy over the losses we've suffered, and they were many of course. But no. This is an event to celebrate our future, the lessons we have learned from our past, and what I as your President intend to do here, now, tonight, to move us forward. So let's begin."
Rolling across the stage with the aid of a remote control on the arm of his chair, connected as well to a slideshow remote control, Thomas moves to the left as a screen shoots from the stadium ceiling to cast a three dimension image of a pie chart. "In our society we stand as a whole at...32% mutant and growing" A slice of the pie bounces out and jumps to the side, "34% human, and 34% Metahuman. It's not hard to see that we silently, then obviously became the minority in this country. The average human being is wildly outpowered. It fills many of you with...Fear? If fills you with...Uncertainty? It makes you feel a need to lash out and strike before you are struck. This in turn makes the mutants and metas feel the same. It is a cycle of kegs and fuses waiting for one match at ay given time."
The pie chart divides quickly, then shatters together leaving a digital crumble of colors that turn to pixelated dust and blow away.
"Which is why I have developed a solution. One that will move us all into equal footing. One that will eliminate the minority and form a cohesive full majority. I present to you all for the very first time-"
"You look at this device and you say to yourself. Ok, it looks nice, stylish. But why is it such a big deal? I'll tell you. But first you were all made aware this would be an interactive seminar, so if you'll please reach under your seats and pull out the items beneath them. Congratulations...you are the first human beings to own an Evo. Do as seen above please"
"Now open your A-phone. Download an app that has just gone live named "Evo: Lucian" Thomas waits for a few minutes, pacing the stage and observing the crowd. "Now raise your hands, and I will pick five of you to demonstrate the device for the rest of the crowd. Yes...You...you...you two together, are you a couple? Perfect come up...and, you."
A boy no older than twelve, a skinny woman and a lanky boyfriend, a retiree, and a member of the security team for the stadium come up to the stage, stepping through the protective bubble. of course, they were vetted before this seminar even began.
"Now open the application and wait for my signal. Sir, how old are you? " Thomas says pointing to the retiree, an older black man with a culdesac of salt and pepper hair, "65 years young, Mr.President. Feel like I'm twenty though aheh!" He says with a nervous laughter that was jovial and filled with youthful naivety
"Let's see how true that is. Press the dial on your Evo. Start up your application....when we return from intermission."
