AN URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT FROM JUDITH ADLER, THE PRESIDENT OF THE H.S.S. (HEROIC SUPERHUMAN SOCIETY)

TO ALL THOSE WHO THIS MAY CONCERN:

IT IS WITH THE DEEPEST REGRET THAT I MUST INFORM YOU THAT THE HEROIC SUPERHUMAN SOCIETY HAS BEEN COMPROMISED. THE EVENTS THAT ARE NOW UNFOLDING IN OUR WORLD ARE ON ACCOUNT OF OUR HUBRIS AND IGNORANCE. WE WERE FOOLISH ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THAT THE SUPERPOWERS OF OUR SOCIETY COULD BE USED TO BENEFIT THE PUBLIC GOOD, BUT THE H.S.S. HAS FAILED IN ITS MISSION TO PROVIDE OUR WORLD WITH HEROES, PEOPLE WHO COULD PROTECT HUMANITY FROM HARM AND UPHOLD OUR LAWS OF JUSTICE AND PEACE. BUT RECENT EVENTS ARE PROVING THAT OUR IDEAS OF PLACING OUR FAITH IN THE HANDS OF ENHANCED INDIVIDUALS IN EXCHANGE FOR PEACE WAS MERELY A FANTASY OF A WORLD THAT DOES NOT EXIST.

WE TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR NOT FORESEEING AND PLANNING FOR SUCH DEFIANT ACTIONS FROM OUR HEROES, AND AS OF NOW, WE HAVE ISSUED A WARNING FOR CITIZENS TO STAY INDOORS WHENEVER POSSIBLE TO AVOID GETTING CAUGHT IN CONFRONTATIONS OR BATTLES. DO WHAT YOU MUST TO ENSURE YOUR SAFETY AND CONTINUE TO WORK IF NEEDED, BUT DO NOT PUT YOURSELVES IN UNNECESSARY HARM OR AT UNNECESSARY RISK. WE AT THE H.S.S. ARE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO PREVENT ANYMORE SUPERHUMANS FROM JOINING IN ON THIS DESTRUCTION, AND WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF FINDING THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE RIOTS AND UPRISINGS. WE WILL NOT REST UNTIL WE CAPTURE THEM AND BRING THEM TO JUSTICE FOR THEIR CRIMES AGAINST US AND AGAINST THE PEOPLE THEY WERE MEANT TO PROTECT.
