He may have been pretty hungover when he talked to Daniel, but Zach wasn't surprised at what he had to do. It was a very standard press conference, after all of the inflammatory things he had talked about before. He couldn't have helped it, then. After the lost of James, it had put some things in perspective. The way that the government was run. How the Resistance had made it so much harder for him to do his job, how much of a problem they were becoming. Everything had just come to a head, and he may have gone overboard, but he couldn't help it.
So that was why he was standing in front of the podium he had almost grown to love, giving a speech that he believed in.
"Yes, what I've said in the past could be taken as inflammatory. Sometimes, it's these comments that are needed, if only to wake up the rest of the world to what is happening. We need to get people's attention on the problems at hand." Zach paused, looking out at the crowd. It was filled with the usual group of people. He's known most of them so long, had spoken to the reporters so many times, that he knew he could lob some soft ball questions at them.
"But we here at Camelot have plans, and ideas, to tackle these issues. Better relations, between Camelot, and other governments, most especially the United States, would be a good start." Like that would ever happen, he knew, but he had to put it out there. "As for the Resistance, we have other plans."
Zach set both hands on the podium. "Rounding up known Resistance members is a start. It's not just a simple matter of arresting Resistance members, however. They need to be dealt with in a way that works, and that is why we have a working relationship with the Agency. Any and all Resistance members are taken to them, and dealt with in a manner that makes sense."
He paused. "What we want to do is to take care of these terrorists, and then, once we've gotten them under custody, we can begin to mend fences with the rest of the world. Here at Camelot, we believe that it's better to make sure everyone, both reincarnate or not, are safe from the people who set out to deliberately hurt them, and we will do what we have to, to make sure that happens. I'll be taking some questions now."
Zach looked around the room, and at the raised hands. He knew most of them, and knew the questions they would ask, but he decided to do something different. Pointing to a woman he didn't know, with red hair and glasses, in the front row, he smiled at her.
"Yes, you in the front row?"
