Pirated news broadcast
Stations all over the country abruptly cut to static, before changing to a singular feed that's broadcasted on every channel, on a loop. At first glance you might think it's a regular news station crew, but it's impossible to tell who or where. Four people are sitting in a row on a stage, tied to chairs. They've obviously been through some sort of physical trauma, judging by the state of their clothes and general appearance. Their bodies are bruised, cut, and bleeding, but the terror in their eyes is more unsettling than anything else. Willette Sullivan and her brother Mason are standing off to the side, in front of them. Two other figures, one might assume the tormentors, are standing just behind the chairs, clothed in all black and bathed in the shadows so you can't make out their faces. The people tied to chairs are struggling against their bindings, uttering muffled, high-pitched protests behind mouth gags. Willette glances at them, the hatred and anger plain on her face, before turning her attention to the camera.
"This is a message for reincarnates. The American government, the same ones sworn to serve and protect, have just confessed to us that they are the ones responsible for this deadly virus that is making reincarnates sick and now killing them. Go on, tell everyone what you just told me."
The hand of one of the anonymous figures rips the gag off of a woman tied to the farthest chair and the woman whimpers, tears streaming down her face as she cowers. It takes her several deep breaths and choking back sobs before she's able to speak. "I-it's true. We are... responsible." She's speaking with her head bowed you can barely hear her, until she speaks up fast and hysterically. "But it was not meant to be lethal! We were only trying to find a-a cure. For reincarnates. It was still in its trial phase. WE WERE ONLY TRYING TO MAKE YOU BETTER-"
Someone hits the woman across her face and she cries out before she's gagged again. The four people held captive and tied to chairs are all plainly injured, but they're still alive. For now. Willette turns back to the camera, a fire in her eyes.
"You heard her. These suits and scientists employed by Senator Scott and the U.S. Government were trying to cure us. Apparently, we all need curing. And instead we're all dying. I don't know about you, but I'm not just going to lie down and take this. Neither is the Resistance. Camelot and the Agency are still tolerating these monster's actions, so you can pick their side. Or pick the right side." The feed cuts to static again and the broadcast is gone.
