May. 31st, 2014 02:51 amAt 8:00 am sharp on this otherwise cheerful morning, a number of television and radio newscasts are briefly hijacked. At the same time, this same signal invades the Omega Friends' "secret" communications network. Even many civilian computers will find that a previously undetected virus has forced open a videochat client. All of these hijackings are of the same thing, a shadowy man with a sinister message.
"Good morning, Venture City. I am terribly sorry to interrupt your regularly scheduled programming, but I have a brief announcement that is very important."
"I am pleased to announce a contest will start today, and end in one week's time. The objective of this contest is simple: I am encouraging you all to go out and seize the day, and defeat whoever stands in the way of your goals. I want to see how well you can crush your enemies. Impress me."
"Whether your target is a hero or a villain is meaningless. I want to see how much of a challenge you are willing to face, and how wily of an opponent you can be."
"The ones who impress me most will be rewarded generously. I have a substantial amount of money at my disposal, but if you are not interested in cash..."
The screen flips away from the talking silhouette to the inside of some sort of vault. It is filled with a variety of gadgets and armor and weapons obtained on the black market. Those of you that have object-specific weaknesses, or know the weaknesses of your enemy, have a good chance of glancing such metaphorical Kryptonite in the vault as well. (Also: literal Kryptonite.)
"I am sure I can find something you'll appreciate."
"I have eyes and ears everywhere. I will be watching. When the time is up, I'll be in touch."
[After Slade finishes his monologue, he will order a minion to return the TV and Radio broadcasts to normal. However, if you are reached via computer, Omega Network, or other two-way device, you should be able to ask Slade a question before he is logged out, if you so desire.]
