*** INCOMING TRANSMISSION ***
*** LOCATION: Omicron Major ***
*** SIGNATURE: James Wesker ***
A screen appears with nothing but an eye. Perpetually staring at you. A voice can be heard...
Hello... People of Sirius... I believe a proper introduction is in order... I am James Wesker, but most call me just Wesker. Most of you don't know who I am, nor do they know what I stand for. But I can tell you this. I know most of you. I know who you are and I know what you stand for.
You can hear a sound of a match strike
A man can always take the time to enjoy a nice cigar... but I digress. I have with me power. Money. Influence. And yet... I am like a shadow. Never noticed. And always hidden. It is time for this shadow to become a something much more than just a shadow. I want to see all who will partner with me, chancing it. Seeing who I am and what I stand for. Or will you be careful, and shun me like a wet dog? I shall leave that choice up to you, people of Sirius. Take your time and choose carefully. With great risk, comes great reward...
*Erich blinks once, seemingly having just re-watched the transmission*
"Nein, nein, I won't shun you like a wet dog."
"I will shun you like a crazed man who clearly has spent a tad too much time out in the Omicrons."
"I am entirely certain that many on the receiving end of your transmission would, as you said, like to know 'who you are and what you stand for' but instead you offered your captive audience a mere rehash of a thousand other ambiguously code-named self-proclaimed 'kingmakers' transmitting from their own remote demesenes."
"For starters..."*Erich smiles softly and officially*"I have found that actually showing your audience your face and humanizing yourself in front of them allows for a stronger connection between you and they. Most people are not wont to support more enigmatic individuals at first glance."
"I might add that I used to be quite terrified of my shadow when I was but a little boy, but I have since outgrown it and moved on to other things."
"Perhaps, in light of your 'shadow' analogy, so might you."
Interesting some guy who suits my tastes *laughs* Shun you like a wet dog? i have been shunned like that to many times you are a friend James No need to panic. tell me were to meet you and Ill be with ya i followed loonier people in my time. So tell me Whats first on the agenda? my ravens talon needs something to do.

The screen appears again with the same red eye, staring at you. The voice of Wesker can be heard
First... I want to say I am no king. Nor do I want to be. I have a... purer goal than that. Second... Trust. You can either risk something, and gain or lose it. If you can trust a complete stranger, then you are the type of person I seek. It is.. A test...
As for the crazy comment... Does it not take a crazy man to even think he can change Sirius? You can make a choice as I stated. Join me and walk in blind as my new friend did... Or don't. But won't the curiosity kill you? And, Erich. It's only normal for a person to be afraid of his own shadow. People are naturally afraid of the dark, are they not?
As with my newly met friend... I will send you the details in more... secure communications...
And I will end it with one final sentence, If I may.. What do you have to lose?
A faint chuckle can be heard as the transmission comes to an end...
