And it’s our time now if you want it to be
WHO: YOU.
WHERE: Orlando and then Heropa, Florida.
WHEN: Friday February 13th, from 7 PM to 9:25 PM. Following that, till after midnight.
WHAT: Registration in motion... among other things. Please refer to the OOC post for details.
WARNINGS: None anticipated; please let us know if this should be edited.
There's a crowd waiting just outside the reception hall, having been waiting for nearly two hours to catch a glimpse of their Heroes. The event's organizers have actually set up a line barring anyone who is not attending the Swear-In from crossing and for the most part, locals keep behind these lines, snapping harmless pictures, or sometimes excitedly calling for an imPort on their way inside the building to pose for a picture or ask for an autograph.
The citizens of Orlando are more than happy to see their heroes. Many of them will thank imPorts for their assistance during the October incidents. There will be the occasional one or two reporters who aren't allowed within the building who will ask about Sofia, Bulgaria, and imply maybe imPorts aren't as patriotic as one would believe. Luckily for imPorts, they don't have to stand around conversing as they will be ushered in by unfamiliar faces.
The inside of the hall has been decorated in red, gold, and white. An enormous, glistening chandelier hangs in the middle of the hall, encircled by a second level of stairs that lead to a room being occupied above by these unfamiliar faces. They are not with the military and asking around will reveal they are Federal agents from Washington, D.C., here to act as security for the night. There are also rumors Captain Ananke was cut from the list of invites at the very last minute.
A large buffet table, packed with delicacies and other foods, is lined on the opposite end of the room, not too far from the mini-bar. The bartender is overseen by a Federal agent, so even if he wanted to offer those under 21 a drink, he wouldn't be able to.
The media have their own tables and representatives from Orlando's City Hall, including its mayor, are seated not too far from imPorts. He will take the time to approach imPort Ambassadors and congratulate them on their winning the elections in their representative city.
The tables take up most of the hall, including where the dance floor should be. At the end of the room a couple of Feds are setting up what looks to be a classic projection machine, only its design is sleeker and much more compact than the original device.
At 8 PM Secretary of Defense Lacey Chases finally makes her appearance, and her statement:
Ex-Captain Holiday's statement can be found here. Miguel Rodriguez's statement can be found here. Please limit yourself to one thread (per player, not character), and each character will be cut off from asking more questions after they've asked six, maximum.
At 9:25 PM a wave of concern washes over the room and the slight panic as the Federal agents are suddenly on the move, patching into their communicators and asking for everybody to begin leaving the room in a calm and orderly fashion.
Heropa is under attack, they say. What will you do now, Heroes?

" The new frontier of which I speak is not a set of promises -- it is a set of challenges. It sums up not what I intend to offer the American people, but what I intend to ask of them. It appeals to their pride, not to their pocketbook -- it holds out the promise of more sacrifice instead of more security. But I tell you the new frontier is here, whether we seek it or not. "

At 8 PM Secretary of Defense Lacey Chases finally makes her appearance, and her statement:
- "We have been hearing there has been a lot of misinformation coming out of Heropa and its sister cities regarding multiple facets of the imPort situation. We aim to clear some of that up tonight. Before I go any further, I would like to say a few words about a man named Ira Ditko, a name some of you may recognize as belonging to a deceased man recently found on a beach in Cape Canaveral. Mr. Ditko was a civilian who had been looting imPort properties for their communicators before the government could reclaim them and wipe them of any personal data or information; you may understand how this is a serious concern to us both in that it's a serious privacy breach and security breach. Effective immediately, Captain Ananke will be leading a security team to upgrade the deadbolts and locks on every government-owned imPort property as well as installing new security systems. The installation will include instructions on how to enable or disable these systems should you choose to.
Ditko was selling several of these communicators to buyers we have not yet been able to locate or identify, but we urge caution among imPorts not to assume any of these buyers couldn't have been individuals identifying as "Hornets."
Moving on: Ex-Captain Holiday and inmate Miguel Rodriguez have asked to make brief statements to the imPort community at large, and we have decided, in the interest of transparency and clarifying aforementioned misinformation, to grant their requests. They will be phoned in via holo-communication, and you will be allowed to ask them a short number of yes or no questions. Do not abuse this privilege or waste their time, or such communications will be disallowed from future ceremonies or events altogether.
Thank you."

[Brenda...]
I was apparently taken right before my wedding day.

[He sighs.]
So you can see why I might be... antsy about getting back.

[Kotetsu comes to mind. Poor guy. He must miss his little girl horribly. He's a good man, and probably an even better dad. They've all left people behind.]

I apologize, I didn't mean to imply that my needs should be put in front of everyone else's. I'm just... frustrated about the whole situation and appear to be choosing my words poorly.
