[Despite aiming for semi-anonymity, Danny goes with using his voice instead of text. Because if he has to type this and give himself the chance to overthink things, it might never happen.
The mic picks up the light sound of wind, and when he speaks up, Danny's not putting in the effort to change his voice, beyond playing down his slight New York accent and shifting his tone to something softer and more professional. It's a stark difference from his usual laid-back drawl, but the kid's naturally scratchy voice is still easy enough to recognize.]
So...did anyone else who caught Fantastic's speech find that a little worrying?
For anyone who was caught in the Confluence, or just fell from the sky, welcome, or welcome back. Here's what you missed.
[A recording of Fantastic's speech starts playing. Tinny and rough, like it's coming from one speaker picking up another. It sounds awful scripted for a "heart-felt" speech. Not meant to comfort or inspire confidence but to rally soldiers. The kind of speech Danny became familiar with when he was far too young. And when he'd heard it coming from Fantastic, it settled in his stomach like lead.]
You can probably find a better version of that online, but this gives the gist.
Can't say I'm crazy about him talking to us like we're a bunch of soldiers, but then, I'm guessing that speech wasn't actually for us.
Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I have a bad feeling that if this guy gets to be the Alliance leader, the way he wants everyone to think he already is, things might get worse for us.

The divide can seem subtle the larger a team gets, but as someone who used to lead a pretty sizable team myself? The divide is still there. And if even half of what @Huvrye says is true, Fantastic seems pretty intent on stomping all over it.

I'm not sure whether he actually believes it. Like I said, it sounds good. There are members of the public who obviously want the metas to be treated more like soldiers, to be kept more under control. Fantastic goes out there, making himself seen and sounding like he's in charge, even if nobody else listens to him. Have this happen a few times and the public starts getting mad at the leadership of the Alliance, wanting change since the ones there obviously aren't doing anything. So all he really has to do is bide his time.
