Network: ABC and Affiliates Episode 421: December 10, 2013
Joy Behar: “What do you four have to say to those who claim that you’re an example of an unnecessary or at the very least an *unfair* bias against metahumans in the private sector? Some have even gone so far as to say that you’re department’s existence is an example of our Federal government’s insistence that Metahumans should always and only work under supervision from Washington."
Reciprocity: “Yeah… We’ve heard.”
Whoopi Goldberg: “I’ve actually heard it go further than that, Joy. They say that your team, specifically has been handpicked to counter the three core members of Sentinel Prime. What do you say to that? Are you all just a meta-power-grab by the Administration?”
Reciprocity: *chuckling* “I hardly know where to start, when I hear that kind of talk.”
*audience applauds*
Doppler: “I served in the Marine Corps for five years, and I’ve worked as a police officer in my hometown of Madison, Wisconsin. Flint, over there *she gestures at the team-member sitting at the far-edge of the panel* is a fifteen year veteran of the New York City Fire Department. He was a first-responder to the 9/11 attacks. Dream-Girl worked in Homeland Security as part of an anti-terror taskforce…”
Whoopi Goldberg: “And what about Phantasm?” *she turns to the audience* “Again, the fifth member of USMRC-3 absent by request of our producers as his presence seems to interfere with our studio’s electronics.”
Flint: “Phantasm was Army. He was a first responder to a crisis situation on the day of the Event.”
Doppler: “The point I’m making is that all of us have always been ‘government,’ if that’s how you want to look at it. I mean, if your worldview is so limited as to classify everybody as “Fed” or “Private” then I guess your belief system doesn’t really leave you much room to see us as being legitimately here to help.”
Joy Behar: “Reciprocity, you look like you might be…” *the audience chuckles* “…biting back pretty hard on some opinions.” *he smiles and raises his eyebrows, this draws a fresh round of applause* “Is there anything you’d like to add?”
Reciprocity: *leans forward, resting his elbows on the table* “Well, first of all, I think it’s a bit silly to look for MORE problems considering the situation our nation,… and our world… is facing right now.” *applause* “But, considering the aforementioned “private metahumans’” track-record of insulting and even threatening military personnel, denying evidence and resources to proper authorities and even outright mass-murder,… (bulls**t court-rulings, notwithstanding)…
My answer is… Yeah. We are, as a team… tailor-made to counter Sentinel Prime. And yeah… it IS really obvious. We are made-to-order for the placing of a heavy boot up Prime’s ass…. And everybody *should* realize that,… especially fucking Sentinel Prime.”
*audience erupts with applause*

Emily Corrigan: “Welcome to 27 Action News at 6. I’m Emily Corrigan.”
*music plays through the opening title sequence*
Emily Corrigan: “Our top-story this evening comes to us from Highway 121, near Stateston. The dashboard camera of a State Highway Patrolman’s Cruiser captures what was initially thought to be a simple landslide. Investigators on the scene now say the incident is definitely of a Fortean nature.”
Sargent Mike Kowalski: Fortunately,… ah… nobody on the road was seriously hurt. Eh... As you can see from the dash-cam footage, there was at least one really large boulder that hit the road, but... by the grace of God, it didn't make contact with any vehicles. Two cases of whiplash and a lot of people pretty understandably shaken up. But, that’s about it.”
“Our investigators went back into the fissure, along with a couple of geologists from Stateston and we’ve recovered what seems to be a kind of oblong… cocoon.
That’s really the only way I know of to describe it. Made of chitin, like the shell of an insect and about twelve feet long, big around as a Volkswagen Beetle. It was broken open... almost in half. Looks like something pretty big was inside it and came out in a hurry. *chuckles*
From what we can tell the cocoon,... if that's what it is... had been buried in the bedrock for at least a couple thousand years, and whatever was inside it woke up in a real bad mood. When it tore it's way out, it sent about fifty tons of stone erupting from the surface of the cliffside, as you can see on the footage. Now, the stone around it was burned black, even showing signs of partial melting. The object was relinquished to Federal Agents earlier this morning for research and forensics…. Stuff like that. They airlifted it out of here.
