A little history first.

A very important, unexpected guest.

Actually, they worked almost exactly the way they were supposed to. You might call it a social experiment on a grand scale.

Ah ha.

Ah well, just one second.

Ah, ah. Guards. Guards.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

All that background radiation you've been exposed to?

All those inoculation shots would disorient anyone.

America will be the world's policeman.

And it certainly paint me a picture of what life's like in that radioactive hell on the mainland.

And the rest of the globe.

And what are you doing here?

Any humanoid that isn't inoculated against its effects before its release will die.

Are you going to shoot me or not?

As is everyone on the project.

As the embodiment of the Executive branch, I bear the burden of ensuring the survival and prosperity of the United States and of humanity itself, a heavy burden.

Because you are.

But at least it knocked the damn red menace back into the Stone Age.

But I must say, I have seldom seen a stranger or scarier delegation of misfits in all my life.

Can we all just get along?

Conversation with a genuine mutant like you.

Do I know you?

Do you have a report?

Do you really think you can intimidate the president of the United States?

Doctor.

God Bless America.

God bless us, everyone.

Good news. I hope our salvation is in your team's hands.

Guards.

Guards.

Guards.

He volunteered to try one of the early versions of the Fe V toxin antidote. Unfortunately, it didn't quite work out the way we'd hoped.

Hello there, I'm the President of the United States of America, and I must say I have seldom seen a stranger or sorrier delegation of misfits in all my life. Just who are you to barge in on me this...

Hello there.

Hello there.

Hello there. I'm President Richardson and I'm damn proud to meet you.

Hello, Doctor.

Hello, I'm the president of the United States of America. And you are.

Hello.

Hello.

Her to shame.

However, our brilliant chemical Corps altered it.

Humanity salvation is almost at hand, and the United States of America will be the progenitor of that rebirth.

I am rather busy.

I am the elected representative of the people.

I am the President of the United States of America.

I am the president of the United States of America. The Vice President is in the office outside. If you belonged here, you'd know that. Who are you and what are you doing here?

I assure you I'm quite sane.

I don't think this tired old planet's big enough for two top dogs.

I think you've been exposed to the FPV.

I'll get you some help.

I'm President Richardson, and I'm damn proud to meet you.

I'm the President of the United States of America, and I must say I have seldom seen a stranger or scarier delegation of misfits in all my life. Just who are you to barge in on me this way?

I'm the president of the United States of America, and you are.

I'm the president of the United States of America.

If it's us or you, well, I'm going to choose us.

If you belonged here, you'd know that.

If you do, I'll go to my reward knowing that I died at Patriot and a servant of humanity.

If you were human, you'd feel the same way.

If your kind is allowed to flourish, it will mean the end of the human race as we know it. We can't allow radioactive freaks to squeeze humans into extinction.

It's almost ready.

It's tiny, mocking minds like yours that prove the superiority of real humans over mutants.

Just one second.

My guards have orders to shoot me rather than let anything or anyone endanger the project.

No.

No.

Ohh yeah. Ohh yeah.

Ohh, that's quite alright.

Once again, America will be the world's policeman.

One second.

Our gallant soldiers fought from the Yukon to the Yangtze.

Somebody's living here, all right. Yeah. Ohh yeah.

That's humanity's last best hope. That's what we've been working towards all these years.

The buck stops here.

The Fev virus.

The government of the United States of America has been working towards a solution for quite some time.

The only way for true humans and democracy to be safe is to cleanse the mutants from the globe.

The President of the United States.

The project will cleanse all the mutants from our fair land.

The United States does still exist.

The United States.

The Warriors were tough and strong, but far too stupid.

There was a Great War long before we were born.

To turn it into a staggeringly effective killer.

Uh hmm.

Um.

Vice President Byrd may look like a drooling idiot. But I'll have you know, that man's a national hero.

We can't allow radioactive freaks to squeeze humans into extinction.

We've just had to adapt in order to survive after the war.

Well, hello there.

What?

Who are you?

Year back.

Yes.

Yes.

You can call single minded dedication to A cause madness, I suppose, but if so, it's divine madness.

You don't really expect that to work, do you? If you try it, my guards have orders to shoot me. Rather than let anything or anyone endanger the project. I'm staying right here now. Are you going to...

You should probably get back to your isolation ward now though.

You there?

You've been doing your country an invaluable service.
