TV: 2012-01-19 - Egghead fires the weapon!

Urgent News Alert:

The camera pans in on a rather nervous news anchor, "Good afternoon. I'm Hank Zuchins and ill be filling in for Tom tonight. In a terrifying news alert, we bring you footage of the alarming attack on our fair city."

The camera cuts to footage of a massive hover platform lifiting off from Central Park, and a purple beam emiting from a weapon on it vaporizing a cluster of apartment buildings. "As you can see here, a terrifying weapon of mass destruction has been fired at our city, and a terrorist known as 'Elias Starr' seems to be claiming responsibility."

The clip cuts to footage of Starr's demands. "Attention, people of New York! I am Elias Starr! But you may call me Egghead! As you all have just witnessed, I am now in possession of a weapon of unthinkable power, and have no issues using it to wipe this city, state or what ever i want off the globe!" he sneers before looking rather serious and grim, "Unless you all admit your fear of my genius, and submit to my rule I will be forced to remove you from the map like a cancerous mole, as the next time i fire the weapon, it will take out the whole city. My Ovoidian Minions will be dispatched to the city once you have reached an answer." he leans toward the camera. "Make no mistake, I am very serious about this. Do not keep me waiting, a man of my intellect grows bored so very easily."

The image cuts out, and a feed of Hank Zuchins comes back, "We will bring you more on this story as it develops. The only other footage we have is from one brave citizen who happened to have a video camera and was close to the scene.

The scene depicts Elias pulling Kenzie off of the device, blood running down her face from her nose, and her skin is pale as a sheet. As Elias sets her down, the carrier begins to lift off and moves out of sight.
