Chapter 28: Comments
Rinus couldnt find the chance to get an interview with the army. When he tried to approach, he was brutally pushed away by the guards because he wasnt carrying an ID card from a news station. I am also a reporter. How can you deny my entry! He shouted back to the tough-looking guy standing in front of him.
Beat it! If you dont have permission, you cant enter. A soldier pushed him back.
He sulkily returned home and sat on his computer. He watched the video he captured and realized he didnt comment while he was shooting.
I will just dub it. He said to himself and started to work on it.
This was his ticket to return to his glorious days. He wasnt going to waste it. He was going to earn his reporter card and throw it at that soldiers face.
He worked on the video and used his ability to best show off the teen fighting against the attackers. But then he thought, If I want to climb the stairs fast, I need sensational news. Who would watch news showing usual things? All the channels will show the interview anyways. I should do something different. Then he started to dub again and used the lights to prove his points. When it was done, he nodded to his successful work.
He opened the most famous video site on the UniNet, UniTube, and uploaded his video. He titled it Hospital Attack! Why you shouldnt play the hero! Our new hero #The Marooner!
At first, he wanted to showcase the teens courage and how he saved the hospital from attackers but realized it wouldnt be the most effective way. He decided to take the opposite action. He played the video once again.
On it, his voice sounded. As you can see the flying shuttle is speeding towards the entrance of the hospital. But all the government facilities are protected by barriers. Even in case of a crash, barriers would prevent the shuttle from entering, but the teen playing hero tries to stop the shuttle from speeding towards him. Look at the poor guy, he is bleeding, and from the sound, you can guess he must have broken most of his bones. Serves him right.
Look how he threw the shuttle to the parking lot. Look at the blast. He caused many cars at the parking lot to explode. If he didnt intervene at all, none of these would happen.
You are an asshole! The kid saved the hospital and fought with his blood and sweat! How could you!
He only made it more complicated. The hospital would be safer without his intervention. He caused a ruckus and blew up the parking lot. Rinus answered.
How can you defame the military?! Without their efforts we would be monster food or walking dead poop. You f#cking degenerate sh#tt!
Let me guess, a military person? I know the military is the reason we live in peace, but it doesnt mean all of them are worth our respect! Rinus answered one after another.
Malcolm Cross is the hero of Unity! He stopped the RIOT! THE F#CKING RIOT!
You cannot dish on the military. You should publicly apologize!
OP has some points though. You shouldnt play a hero if you dont have power and risk more people with your actions.
Yes. Also humanitys sacred right of living cannot be broken. Malcolm Cross shouldnt have killed them to save some.
What happened to the laws? How can people act on a whim?
Comments were raining on the video. Rinus knew that the public was against him, but still, his video was getting more and more viewers. Few comments were supporting him, but he didnt care. He was getting more and more views every second. Before an hour ended, his video got more than 10,000,000 clicks.
Who needs a stupid news channel anyway? I will have my own channel here at UniTube.
