The Show’s catchy intro is stepped up a bit for urgency, and there are a lot more logos that show on the load-in before there’s Alice, her polished demeanor, pleasant expression, and neither here nor there voice all lending to very polished and corporate nature of the program. All the Product Placement doesn't hurt either.
| “Thanks again for joining me. We're nearly two months into the Black Tenet spread. And as ONN has reported, there may be a light at the end of the tunnel with what's been purported to be a cure supplied by the Five Clans of Mars to MGM for distribution independent of New Geneva.
We're finishing up testing and product compatibility certifications, all of which, I assure you are being handled with the absolute top priority. While I cheer on independent research cooperatives, I've also been in this field for more than 20 years, and that perspective makes me question the alacrity at which this was developed. Before we can feel safe distributing this treatment, we need to make sure that it not only does the things it says it does, but that it doesn't do anything it shouldn't. That being said, initial tests look really promising. I've already ordered replication, and submitted a public distribution plan to New Geneva. Download Kiosks have been ordered, and will be made available at any MGM Public property in a safe and accessible location. If we have 98 percent product compatibility certification from the manufacturers, meaning that we can confirm it is safe for 98 percent of known neural relays in production, by the close of business on Friday, we could have the kiosks open by Midnight Saturday. The download process will look like this - The initial download is the largest, and will require more processing power than is normally available to your Neural Link when you're wireless. There will be Kiosks positioned at MGM Properties. They will not be connected to the Net, and will simply deliver the initial download of the vaccination file. Each copy is encrypted, and each encryption is tagged. It does not identify you, it simply offers a true-false response to its existence. It's required to wirelessly receive the second download about 16 hours later. The second download is a tricklecast during your next charge or rest cycle, and completes the defense process. As NSI completes the Net Upgrades, that same tag may be required by networks to access Next Gen features, again, not something that can identify you as an individual, it can only respond that it exists. MGM has no intention of charging for this treatment or its distribution, and hopes that you'll enjoy your visit to one of our properties for your download. As things continue to develop, I'll make sure to keep you informed. I appreciate your tuning in. Be kind to yourselves, and each other. Good night.” |
