<strong>Myraid, LA</strong><br/><br/><em>@ The Press Conference</em><br/><br/>"I got this." Val says with a smile to Marie as she stood up and walked to the microphone. She was dressed stylishly, her hair styled and makeup applied expertly. Unseen outside the room four forms stood ready to come in, switching on their microphones as well. Across the country in Los Vegas, San Francisco and New York City even more copies got ready in front of the cameras tied to the displays through the room. Smiling as she stood up, she stuck to the script that she and Marie had worked out.<br/><br/>"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for coming out, the weather was pretty awful." She said as she looked out at the assembled press. "I know that you're curious as to what I have to say. I'm Valerie Dobson, up till a few weeks one of thousands of aspiring actresses that live all over town. That changed when metahumans appeared. I'm a metahuman." Val announced as her forms walked in and carried on her speech, each of them taking turns as they walked up to the stage and take one of the empty seats.<br/><br/>"I have the ability to create and maintain multiple bodies, though there is only one consciousness between them. These kind folks from Berkley, Dr Song and Hammond." She gestures to the two people sitting off to one side.  "They are doctors of biology and quantum physics respectively. The physics came into play when Dr. Song discovered that I was maintaining an awareness over bodies spread over the country." As she brings up each of the locations the display comes up. "I have bodies living in San Francisco, Los Vegas and New York City.  I can perceive and interact over all these bodies at the same time. Doctor Hammond says that my mind is a net of quantum entangled neurons. From my point of view, these are all me. What one body experiences, all of them do. I can sense, and communicate with them in real time with no, as yet, measurable lag."<br/><br/>"That aside, I'm just a small town girl trying to make it big. That and I figured I needed to come out to show folks that not all Paragons can thrown cars and hurt folks. I'm just a girl who can.. be lots of places. Now, I will reluctantly give the stage to my manager, Marie Goldstein, who will carry on the next portion of the press conference and explain what we got planned, but don't worry folks..there is a lot of me around to answer questions." Val said with a brilliant smile as she gave the mic to her agent and sat down while pinning on a radio mike to her outfit.
