"...Where Lex Luthor himself will be speaking about LexCorp's exciting prospects!"
The camera faded into a view of Metropolis by daylight, bright, shining and beautiful. The smooth tones of the owner, founder and CEO of LexCorp spoke as the shot panned around the city. "Metropolis. Our city is a breathtaking example of what a Utopian society might be. Those who live here know what safety, prosperity, and the good life are like."
The next few shots were of a park where children played, students went to Metropolis University, and people walked out along downtown. "Here, they enjoy the finest of what can be offered in recreation, education, and employment." The shot changed again, to LexCorp towers, the tallest among all the buildings in the Metropolis skyline. "And at the center of that, is LexCorp."
Alexander James Luthor was prepared long before cameraman indicated that he was about to be broadcast on live television. Luthor strove for preparation and perfection, his ego would not, could not allow any less. Success, the best success was the only option, and today would be like any other day. Only full of success.
A practiced smile was on his face as the cameras turned to face him. "Good afternoon, and greetings from New Troy, Metropolis, in LexCorp towers. As many of you know, I am Lex Luthor, owner and CEO of LexCorp. Today, I'd like to personally share some of my corporations exciting new prospects for the city of Metropolis and beyond."
He moved with measured steps towards a curtain, hands in his pockets, glancing down at his feet once, striving for a casual nature, but only casual in appearance. Luthor was in complete control of this telecast from start to finish. "It's been a unique year for any corporation. Our country is still in recovery from a weakened economy, there are rapid changes in government policies regarding technology advancement, and also changes in ecological policy. It is a time of change and uncertainty."
Luthor changed posture, to one of confidence, eyes almost staring through the camera, directly into the viewer. "LexCorp has taken all of these changes into consideration, and offers Metropolis and its employees and patrons stability. As always, our goal is the improvement of human life, along with advancements in technology."
"Which brings me to the subject of this telecast. I, and LexCorp am proud to bring you the following information about our latest advancements in technology." The curtain parted, revealing first a large set of green and purple armor.
"LexCorp's solution towards the protection of Metropolis is the newest advancement in armor and weaponry." He nodded once at the suit, which sprang to life, moving off the platform and towards the camera, Luthor remaining still. "It can resist heavy damage and has generous dexterity and speed, which will be used towards the protection of our citizens." The suit's arm demonstrated, grasping a soda can with gentle precision and opening it carefully, next demonstration its power by crushing it with force. "Wonderful. Unlike previous models, we're moving away from robotic controlled units. These will be personally manned and controlled by an individual, our own citizens of Metropolis. Who better to guard and protect it than its own?" The suit moved back to stand on the platform once more, the curtain lowering.
"Protection. A keystone of what makes this city great. But what about employment and recreation? Even education?" Luthor was back in center view again, exuding confidence with a hint of benign superiority, honed over years. "These are also key in making a city successful. I am pleased to announce the opening of multiple factories and offices of LexCorp, in all parts of the city." The curtain lifted again, revealing a map of the city with bright points of green lighting up, and projecting into various buildings and factories.
"Directly after this telecast, opportunities for employment will open at these new offices and factories, and I encourage anyone of legal age and any education to apply." The benign smile widened as he swept an arm towards the map projection. "LexCorp is interested in the employment of its citizens as always, bringing in new employees and offering job security. In uncertain times as these, this is tantamount to their happiness and well-being."
"What will these factories and offices produce? Many will continue to create, assemble and prep for sale numerous already established LexCorp products. Others will be working towards more exciting new advancements in technology. These will center around transportation, restoration of buildings, and advancements in medicine. As always, LexCorp strives to improve the lives of those that it serves. Again, I encourage you to apply for employment here. You won't be disappointed."
"Finally," as the curtain closed once more, the projection fading into nothing, "I'd like to share a project that I have been personally overseeing." Luthor's smile returned, with a quality that was almost genuine. I mentioned before advancements in medicine, yes? What better place to put those into practice than..."
The curtain parted once more to reveal another projection of a building. "The LexCorp Medical Center. Located in New Troy, this building will house the latest in technology, along with medical practices, both scientific and holistic. Employed here will be some of the greatest minds medicine has ever had to offer, along with state of the art facilities, operating and recovery rooms, and research labs. Along with this, I am proud to offer the free clinic that will be included in this building. All of Metropolis' citizens are free to use what it has to offer, with help from LexCorp. Building will begin immediately, and its doors will open at the end of April."
The curtain lowered again, and Luthor strolled with his hands in his pockets once more, coming to a stand in front of a large set of windows, behind him, the city of Metropolis in the sunlight. "It's going to be an exciting year for my company, and I want as many of you involved as possible with what we have to offer." His chin lifted, taking on a proud, confident look. "I have a reputation of only wanting the best for this company and this city. And it's true. These advancements that I've shown you today are just the beginning. I, and LexCorp promise to bring you more, and better as the year progresses. And we wish you a good day, and bright tomorrow."
The final image of Luthor framed against the city behind him faded as the camera cut out, a LexCorp logo replacing him along with a triumphant fanfare.
