You may be wondering why I called you all here...
Who: Lex Luthor, Miko Nakadai, and you???
Where: LuthorCorp HQ
When: Shortly before the Level 4 outbreak has been contained
What: Lex Luthor tries to communicate with the world; always a bad idea
Warnings: Rampant condescension, snarky sarcasm, and perhaps a bit of real science
Luthor put down the phone while suppressing a grimace. So far his efforts to contact Dr. Baelheit have been fruitless. A man less preoccupied with his own business might consider that the Level 4 outbreak going on may be distracting the head of Mintaka Industries, but as Luthor considered that the disappearance of a few freaks was no concern of his, it never occurred to him that it might be of concern to Baelheit.
There were other ways to gain the resources that he would need to develop the new device. He may as well start with the, ah, less messy approaches. He touched the surface of his immaculate glass desktop.
"Miss Hammersmith."
A casual observer would not have been able to locate the speaker from which the response came. "Yes, Mr. Luthor?"
"Contact the public relations department. I need one hundred press packets prepared; I am calling a conference Monday morning at 9AM. Contact the usual outlets."
He lifted his hand from the desk. There was no need to wait for Miss Hammersmith to reply; she had certainly started to execute his order the moment he had given it.
He now had a little over 48 hours to decide what to say and how to say it. However, a green light hidden in the glass started to flash, and he pressed the desktop again.
"Yes Dr. Tsao?"
"My progress report on Project Achilles is ready."
This was news for which he had been waiting for some time. "Come to the executive conference room to present it.".
Preparing for the press conference could wait a little while...

He stepped down from the podium and gestured toward the lobby entrance. “Miss Nakadai, after you.”
