Miles looked into the camera, and took a breath, months of undercover investigative journalism came down to this one moment. It was his first chance to write an expose and he hoped that it would help provide information to their viewers.
"Good evening New Orleans, it is September 9, and tonight i will discuss a new threat to our city. - In the midst of a growing debate surrounding mutant rights and societal equality, a fervent group of anti-mutant extremists has emerged, calling themselves the Apostles of Prometheus. This clandestine organization, driven by an unwavering belief in human superiority, seeks to suppress mutant rights and maintain a status quo that perpetuates discrimination and marginalization.
The Apostles of Prometheus draw inspiration from the mythical figure Prometheus, who, according to Greek mythology, bestowed fire upon humanity. In their distorted ideology, they see mutants as an aberration, a deviation from the natural order that threatens human dominance. They perceive themselves as protectors of humanity's rightful place at the apex of existence, proclaiming their mission to preserve human purity and ensure the preservation of what they consider to be a "normal" society.
Operating largely in the shadows, the Apostles of Prometheus employ various strategies to further their anti-mutant agenda. They disseminate propaganda through online platforms, spreading fear and prejudice against mutants, exploiting incidents and misconceptions to fuel public sentiment against mutant rights and equal treatment.
The group's activities range from peaceful demonstrations and rallies to more aggressive tactics aimed at instigating violence and suppressing mutant activism. Reports indicate that they have organized protests outside mutant community centers, government offices, and prominent mutant rights events, creating an atmosphere of hostility and intimidation.
With an unwavering conviction, the Apostles of Prometheus advocate for the restriction of mutant rights, proposing legislation that limits mutant access to public services, educational opportunities, and employment. They actively lobby against mutant-friendly policies, using fear-mongering tactics to sway public opinion and garner support from like-minded individuals who share their discriminatory views.
The Apostles of Prometheus operate covertly, shielding their identities from public scrutiny to avoid legal repercussions. Their leaders and members remain largely unknown, making it challenging for authorities and mutant advocacy groups to counter their activities effectively.
While their numbers are uncertain, the Apostles of Prometheus pose a concerning threat to the progress made in mutant rights advocacy. Their presence and influence cast a dark cloud over the hopes of fostering a more inclusive and equitable society, deepening the divide between mutants and humans in New Orleans and beyond.
Efforts are underway to monitor and counter the Apostles of Prometheus, with law enforcement agencies collaborating with mutant advocacy organizations to protect the rights and safety of mutants. It remains a challenging battle, as the Apostles of Prometheus continue to sow seeds of hatred and intolerance, fueling the ongoing struggle for acceptance and equality in the face of their prejudiced agenda."
