*on the screen is the presidential podium, and the president is about to give a speech.*
president - "My Fellow Americans,
You all know that during this war on terror I have done my best to protect our nation, to make sure you are all safe from this foreign menace. However, it has recently come to my attention that there is a threat to our safety right here on American soil. This threat comes in the form of mutants. Mutants who would use their abilities to harm others and endanger the stability of our great nation. Now I know that there are mutants who would just try to live their lives in peace and comfort, and I have no problem with that, but to ensure the safety of every American citizen I must take action.
Henceforth, a new bill has been passed by congress. We call it 'The mutant registration act'. What this means is that every mutant must register themselves and their abilities with the government of the United States. No harm or mistreatment will come to these people. I am simply trying to protect us from those mutants who would use their abilities to harm others.
We have special centres set up where mutants can go to register in safety and comfort. They will be announced by the local mayor of each town and city. I would urge everyone to please register themselves, it will save you so much trouble in the future.
Thank you."
