PALE RIDER NEWS
"Greetings from the Regency Plaza in downtown Arbite City. You join us now live as Regent-Elect Daniel Quetzal and his top researchers call a nearly unprecedented press conference. While other news networks were invited to this event, Pale Rider News gets you the best shots and scoops. Now, his Majesty, Daniel Quetzal."
To a chorus of applause, a young, white haired man takes the stage, wearing his trademark Japanese business suit, flanked by a pair of men, sharing the familial . Raising his hands, he quiets the roaring crowd.
"People of Otagia, members of the world's press. I come here today not to announce another success in my name, self indulgent though I might be. Today, I bring you one of the brightest researchers in Otagia today, the shining star of Pale Rider Arms' Creative Weapons Division, Doctor Samantha Tobias. With her aid, we have made leaps and bounds in the human condition over the last several years. With her aid, we have become the future!"
Cheering from the predominantly Otagian crowd drowns out any further words from the Regent for a moment, though he quickly quiets them again.
"Now, ladies and gentlemen. I am proud to introduce someone vastly my mental superior, a brilliant and beautiful young woman, Doctor Samantha Tobias!"
The applause are smaller than those the Regent garnered, but are still quite loud. The good doctor walks out, still dressed in her lab coat.
"Thank you, men and women of Otagia, ladies and gentlemen of the press. Since the dawn of time, humanity has been plagued by our memory. Imprecise, prone to failure, it has caused more knowledge to be lost than a million Vandals. For centuries, we have recorded our knowledge in books, and computers. Still, these records are incomplete, and are prone to destruction by fire, by bomb, by carelessness, by age. For ages, our flow of knowledge has followed the credo of "Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust." But no longer!
"I come here today to unveil our latest breakthrough. For thousands of years, there have been those known as Savants, those with the ability to learn at fantastic speeds, and never forget a single nugget of knowledge. Nearly all of these men were born like this, but a few blessed individuals gained this amazing ability through personal hardship, most notably sudden trauma to the head. Through months of research, we have been able to surgically excise a portion of a patient's brain, and thus grant them the blessing of eternal knowledge. No more will we forget and wilt away, but our legacies shall live on through eternity, carried by the minds of these Savants!"
While the crowd applauded once again, she let the information sink into the minds of her audience, letting them sort through the information. The Regent stepped back to the podium, again addressing the crowd, most notably the members of the press.
"I would now like to have a moment for citizens, members of the press, and anyone else in our audience to ask questions of Doctor Tobias. So, who wants to start?"
