Yeah, I know it's a day late and a dollar short, but I'm way surprised no one posted this. I mean, with everything that's going on, it's pretty damn inspirational still.
"Good morning. Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world, and you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. Mankind, that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences any more. We will be united in our common interest. Perhaps it's fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution, but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live, to exist and should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice, 'We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on, we're going to survive.' Today we celebrate our independence day!"
For you otherworlders that have never seen the movie Independence Day, it's one of the best around, do yourself a favor while you can and watch it. Man always prevails, no matter what danger's thrown in it's face. I got faith in the heroes we have here, and the people that don't even know they can be heroes of this world.
[Filter to AA/Avengers(all)]I know I didn't make the cut for SHIELD, but, I also know you guys are going to be out there doing something about this guy. So good luck, and be safe. I don't need anymore dead friends, ya hear?
[Runaways/AA (sans anyone actually involved with SHIELD, sorry Berto!]So uh.. I know I'm sounding more like Veil on this, but you guys wanna do something stupid and reckless? I'm all for being a cheerleader and all, but, we've got to help.
