A pop would sound out through the speakers as the senator vanished from sight, being replaced by a penguin standing on the stage, waddling around in confusion. From behind him the screen that had said Warrens for President would flicker as a Masked man appeared on the screen.
The applause is quickly replaced by confusion and stunned, fearful silence.
"Pitiful. Cowardly. To turn brother against brother. To try and turn Father against Daughter. Mother against Son is the act of a coward. A traitor to this nation and it's people. All of it's people. Make no mistake. This man, you... people. Have declared war upon us. Branding us as criminals and terrorists for our genetic code. To all of you watching at home, I am making a stand. We are making a stand. If they wish to brand us as their enemy, if they wish to steal away our liberty. Murder our children. Steal our livelihoods then this government no longer functions. It is with a heavy heart that I am reminded of the words of one of our founding Fathers.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of Patriots and Tyrants. I will not. I can not sit ideally by while people like this man poison this great nation against us. Look at your friends. Your families and the way they look at you, and ask yourself if they really see you as the same as them. Or if you are something different. Something... wrong. We will start this fight. But it must be fought by us all."
Enya is moving closer to the man in the front next to Cam!
There are several people applauding the masked man. Taner and Murdoch can see at least half a dozen people that are applauding all appear to be the same man. Scattered throughout the crowd. And in the back.
Clyde also notes that the woman next to him is applauding with a rapt expression on her face.
"Isn't he magnificent?" She asked breathlessly.

Rebecca blinked, but the new face on the screen and its speech has her attention. She doesn't applaud, just grits her teeth harder as the words hit home. She'd really rather not think of those same looks she grew up with, the othering quality to them that made her less than a normal human. Like these people she's here to protect tonight. The people that hate her very existence.
The making a stand part? Not so good. She immediately looks around to see who is doing what, taking a step back if there's no one behind her.
Ken turned, scowling. He jumped up on the stage, bending and scooping up the penguin. He stared up at the big man, and felt....a tingle straight to his core. Ken....had been bullied his whole life. He'd been ridiculed and beaten on and laughed at or shunned....and to Ken.....this made sense. He scowled and hurled his staff at the top of the screen like a spear, intent to break it or knock it down.
He didn't know if the penguin was the senator, or if he was gone. Still, he would hold onto him just in case.
He turns to face Enya with a goofy pleased grin before he gets a tranq dart in the neck! His eyes rolling back into his skull.
Ken has a bird and breaks the screen with his staff! Super dramatic!
Becca sees one of the clones pulling out his gun and aiming it at one of the other guys head. The gunshot rang out as the first of the crowd would die.
Eve is near another of the clones who is looking pretty excited.
"Now's the good part!" He'd punch her!
"He will be made an example of silly."
She'd wink at Clyde as the whole area began to get really hot. She kept on applauding.

Noticing people with guns out. Cam would briskly continue walking to the back out of sight and cloak herself. Shed then proceed to find one of the guys with the gun.
Ken handed the penguin off to Murder Inc (yeah, that was the breakdancers new nickname. Deal with it.) before turning to try locate Evie! Seeing her get punched in the face, he would try to get to her. Once/if he did, he would walk forward and grab the biker by the throat, lift and squeeze to try and choke him out!
Rebecca wants to go over the guy who just shot someone, her entire body jerking in his direction as the sound rings out in the crisp autumn air. She can feel the cry lodged in her throat.
If she goes after him, he shoots her. Or someone else. More chaos.
Mission, Becca.
She takes time to start getting people out of there before chaos ensues!
The punch connected and she stumbled back, making a noise of pain. It sounded strangled, but when she looked back up at him, blood dripping from her nose, there was anger in her eyes.
"You... You... jerk!!" she shouted.
She remembered that the papers had said that impact made them duplicate. So this was the biker, already cloned to do as much damage as he could. "He might have a gun!" she shouted as Ken came nearby.
She tried to move the people around her, to get them out of the way. "Go! Go! Don't you see? It's dangerous here! GET OUT OF HERE!"
"It doesn't matter." She'd say before a huge explosion would rip out around her and the crowd. Bits of people raining down over the crowd and the agents upfront. Meaning Cam, Ken, Enya, and Clyde. Clyde however was close enough to the woman that the blast was around him and he is safe for now! "Gah!" She'd push him away!
The crowd is in a panic with people milling about all directions to try and escape the gunfire and now the explosion.
Cam doesn't see anyone with a gun, but she does see one of the clones stabbing a woman as she tried to get away from the danger!
Becca and Eve start ushering people away!
Ken gets the biker in a choke hold! He kick's ken in the nuts!
Mud's is super heroic and gets the penguin to the police. Well... mostly to the police before there is another Pop and he turns back into the Senator!
"I demand to know what is going on here! Who are you!? What happened!?" He starts rounding on one of the officers too.
With the gun fire she takes out two needles before licking the ends and heading for the stage! She'd try to go under it in case there was a clue. Or more people. Who knows.
She starts to giggle as she's covered in gore though.

Ken winced as people rained down on them, but his eyes bulged as he was kicked in the nuts. Did...did he just....he....shock pushed out the pain and anger flooded him.
He would snap the pricks neck.
"We need to start getting...ugh...people out of here."
Clyde's eyes go wide, and he dives for the woman, looking to tackle her to the ground and start punching her in the face as hard and as fast as he can!
Rebecca keeps working on evac! She keeps an eye out for anyone else with a gun while she's at it, and will try to get people out of the way if she can!
