Here's another RPM commercial, in the vein of a trailer, like
"Crusader" by Voodoo. This is the idea I've currently got for "Chronicles of Justice #3" (#2 is "The Crimson Claw")
===
RPM Commercial #(Whatever): "The Tempest Affair."
Open overlooking the new Mainframe. We zoom in on one of the ports, to the Grizzly. Nathan Justice stands beside it, arms crossed, addressing the camera. The clear blue sky is visible behind him.
JUSTICE: I can take anything they can throw at me. Viruses?
Cut to several scenes: Justice firing at Ünres, Dirk firing a heavy machine gun at Vice's mech, Sil smashing Seize with her disc; cut back to Justice at the Grizzly.
JUSTICE: No problem. Terrorists?
Cut to more scenes: Justice slamming a Khatran Crimson Claw into a bar, then forcing the tap into the Claw's mouth -- "Here, have a drink!" -- before switching on the beer, Lt. Burke firing his keytool at a F'Val Crimson Claw, and Sentry attacking a squad of Claws.
JUSTICE: No sweat. Corrupt politicians?
Cut to a scene: Justice hauls Sen. Brosky out of his chair, over his desk, grabs him in a headlock, then points his pistol at him.
JUSTICE: Don't make me laugh.
Behind Justice, the sky can be seen to darken.
JUSTICE: I can take anything they can throw at me, [holds up a finger] except for one thing--
Thunder crashes, lightning flashing. The sky opens up, and rain downpours.
JUSTICE: --the weather.
Cut to a scene: Sil and Justice stand on a roof, looking at the stormy sky, rain pelting them. He turns to her: "How the hell am I supposed to fight this?"
Cut to a generic stormy sky, lightning flashing and thunder crashing.
V.O.: From the creator of "Mindfields" and "The Crimson Claw" comes --
Thunder crashes, and in the flash, the words THE TEMPEST AFFAIR appear.
V.O.: "The Tempest Affair"
Cut back to Justice at the Grizzly, holding out his hand in the rain, then frowning up at the sky.
Another lightning flash, this time revealing the RPM logo.
V.O.: Coming soon to "ReBoot Project Metaverse"
