Lock Down (2)

The Vincent building is hosts many events and meetings. After the Phaser building and the Tempest, the Vincent building is the third largest sky scraper in the city. On the 34th floors a press conference is being held for the Mayor. He stands behind a podium with eight microphones in front of his face. Standing before him are dozens of reporters, humans and aliens of all kinds asking him questions.
“Humans as a species have a lot to learn,” the Mayor states. “In this day and age we are fortunate enough to have such close contact with so many other non human life forms that we can learn from them and improve ourselves as a species.”
“What exactly do you mean by that Mr. Mayor?” a reporter asks.
“Well take for example the Martians. Seventy years ago we came into contact with them and they taught a select few humans how to tap into a part of their brains to read other peoples minds. They also taught them telekinesis, without this we wouldn’t have psychics we know them today,” the Mayor answers.
“Mr. Mayor,” a human report from the crowd draws the Mayors attention. “What do you say to the allegations that you favour other alien species more than humans?”
“I say I do not discriminate any species,” he rebuts. “As you can see I am married to Valliant, not a human. It’s not that I prefer other species more than humans, I simply believe that everyone deserves equal respect, whether they are from this planet or another.” Standing on the side of the stage is the Mayors wife. Her skin is bright blue, her entire body including her head is completley hairless. The colour of her eyes is like crystal, they change at each angle the light shone on them. Beside her is her daughter, half human and half Valliant, she is also blue skin but had long brown hair flowing from her head.
Liam is standing behind the Mayor while he addresses the press. He walks towards him and whispers in his ear. The Mayor turns to his audience.
“Thank you for all your time today but I am afraid that is all the questions I will be able to answer for now. I appreciate you all coming out. Good day,” he says as he walks off the stage.
“You handled the questions very well Sir,” Liam compliments.
“Thank you Liam, what is on the schedule now?”
“We are heading back to the Tempest, you have a meeting with Lieutenant Bison Thames,” Liam advises. Liam and the Mayor head to the roof to a helicopter to take them to their next appointment.
