👦 "Welcome to The Vista, everyone watching or listening at home. in your cars or local cafe. James McCraven here with another gathering of intellectuals to discuss the current state of our country. The most pressing agenda is, of course, Mutants, Ultras and other titles placed on these powered individuals."

👱🏼‍♀️ "Some call them Gifted."

👴🏾 "I wouldn't consider these people a gift, myself." 

👦 "How come, Travis?" 

👴🏾 "We used to be afraid of criminals with guns. Now, people can shoot laser beams from their eyes. We work with these individuals, go to school with them. Your doctor might be an Ultra. What happens if you look at them the wrong way?" 

👱🏼‍♀️ "It's good that you bring this up." 

👦 "Tell us, Shannon." 

👱🏼‍♀️ "Let's start with the fact that our children go to school with these people. What happens when two children get on each others' nerves? They fight. Now, imagine if one of these children had powers. What's the end result? It would be catastrophic and what do we say in the aftermath? They couldn't control themselves? They were too young?  Whatever the excuse, we now have a horrible outcome on our hands, and the only reason this wasn't prevented, was because politically correct decisions lead to an Ultra having their locker next to a human." 

👴🏾 "Should we have schools specifically for Ultras, then?" 

👱🏼‍♀️ "I believe so, yes. Whatever solution is being worked on in the long run, be it a cure or anything else, we need to focus on what we can do right now. I don't want to rely on a cure for these abilities maybe being available in the future, when our lives are on the line, today." 

👦 "Speaking of lives on the line! Let's talk about these so-called Vigilantes, or 'Heroes' as some would call them. There are a few to go through, so let's start with the one calling himself Fault Line. He's one of the more prominent vigilantes we're dealing with, and of course, his partner, Midnight. What's your opinion on Fault Line, Shannon?" 

👱🏼‍♀️ "Fault Line is a man with clearly destructive powers. We all know that these people should leave the law-keeping to the actual lawmen, but with that aside, I'd like to focus on the harm they can cause when out there."

👦 "Of course."

👱🏼‍♀️ "The man can create tremors. We've all seen that he is stronger than average, faster than average, and even has the ability to shield himself. With something as powerful as waves of force, accidents are bound to happen. How accurate are they? Can he use them in a hostage situation? Does it even matter to him if the hostage is hurt? Property damage is just one of the issues revolving around these vigilantes. Innocent lives are at risk when untrained, undisciplined and impulsive people with powers choose to fight fire with fire."

👴🏾 "Not to mention how he treats children. Remember, that's a man who has a sidekick, a sidekick who's a boy." 

👦 "Very true. Tell us what's on your mind, Travis."

👴🏾 "Let's start with that fact that this kid, Midnight, is obviously something else. That armor he's using? The sword? It's like he's from a fairytale, which in itself is a dangerous prospect to other children. What happens when a normal young boy thinks that it's okay to head out there with their plastic sword and pretend to be Midnight? What then? All of this, because Fault Line is encouraging teenagers to be vigilantes, and teenagers like Midnight encourage younger kids to do the same." 

👦 "What can we say when one of our so-called heroes is running around with some kind of magical plate and a sword? Are we regressing to the medievals? It certainly feels like it, with how crime is being treated. Where's the law? Where's the order?" 

👱🏼‍♀️ "Excellent point, which brings us to the fact that most of these dangerous individuals don't even need a weapon to be dangerous. Fault Line doesn't use weapons but he is still more dangerous than a gun. Midnight uses a sword and we can't begin to understand how that boy's abilities work. It's insanity. There are videos of these people fighting other ultras. Midnight's sword has cut through ultras that not even bullets can penetrate. What happens if he one day decides to turn on us? What happens if Fault Line one day decides that someone has wronged him and levels a building with the ground?" 

👴🏾 "As for fighting other ultras, there is this man, Blockraiser. He doesn't pretend to be a hero, he admits to being a villain, and I don't understand what the discussion is. He's a monster, and can shatter stone with his powers. This is a man who needs to be taken care of swiftly, and not by other ultras. He is a walking weapon, and a criminal, even more so than those who think they're doing good." 

👦 "Of course, he is a gangster. Lethal force should be authorized to fight him, by the police. I've always said, human rights are for humans. These people aren't human, and they have mad scientist among their ranks, as well. Just take the insane man calling himself Dr. Science." 

👱🏼‍♀️ "While we don't know what this man can do, he's obviously not a normal person. The weapons he has should be property of the government. It's not discussion. He should be apprehended, and everything he's using to cause disasters should be used to further our advancement." 

👦 "What about this Gimmick fellow?" 

👱🏼‍♀️ "A symptom. He's just a normal person who likes to make a lot of noise. If it wasn't for the ultras, he wouldn't be around, contending with these monsters if people like Fault Line hadn't 'inspired' more mentally degenerate individuals. These so-called heroes don't only provide a destructive role model, they also cause a counterbalance, with more villains popping up and crime rates increasing."

👦 "Very true, very true! Thinking they are doing the right thing, they have managed to hurt innocents, cause property damage, inspire youngsters to put their lives in danger and prompted unstable people to don the mantles of villains. It's a negative spiral, all of it starting at the core, that being these vigilantes and their crusade! Thanks for watching, dear viewers, thanks for listening, and we'll see you here tomorrow as we continue the conversation on the latest, the greatest and in this case, the very worst! This has been James McCraven, wishing our men and women in blue the very best. Always remember, America is on your side."
