[Sylar turns on the console. Before the screen is a man who looks nothing like Sylar himself. Instead, he sits in a full suit with horn-rimmed glasses adorning his very Jack Coleman-like appearance. When he addresses the camera, it's confident, professional, and direct.]

My name is Noah Bennet. I'm an Agent in a very specialized division of Homeland Security within the United States Government.

If anyone here knows anything about.. potentially extraordinary individuals, or works with the U.S. government, I'd like to speak to you.

Thank you.

Oh yeah? What does it say about me then?

[grayatonement]

[....Random guessing.]

You're a leader. You can inspire and motivate people, but you don't take things too seriously. People will like you. Even if they don't often respect you. You probably have some kind of organizational skills also.

[Oh Sylar, you're stroking his ego right now with this leader stuff. He smiles and brings a shoulder up slightly.]

Almost there, bucko. Not a leader, but could totally lead. [Okay, this guy either knew him, had checked up on him on the network or...just knew this stuff.]

[Video]

[grayatonement]

My mistake.

[Video]

[tactile_telekinesis]

Hey, not a super bad one to make.

[Video]

[grayatonement]

You're right.

Well then. With the potential to be a leader, what do you think about the people here? Are any of them dangerous?

[Video]

[tactile_telekinesis]

The people here, our people I guess? [Hey, if they're gonna keep making that separation, Kon's gonna fly with it.] We're all pretty cool. You got you're super nice people, you're kinda douchey people but they're okay. It's amix but it works.

A lot of the kedan are good too. Funny sometimes. There's a lot that really dislike us being here and then there's Evandau, he's like the head of police here. He can be really difficult.

[Video]

[grayatonement]

What makes him difficult?

[Video]

[tactile_telekinesis]

We just don't see eye to eye. He avoids questions and then comes crawling to us when stuff is super bad even though we coulda done something before it got in that state.

Leaders often struggle not to appear weak. It would undermine the stability of their government if the people saw the outsiders as saving them when their government wasn't able to.

[Video]

[tactile_telekinesis]

Yeah but there's the whole prophecy thing or whatever it was, that said we were here to save them from the big bad. And then there's the whole, treating us like a different class of people. There's only so much of having them looking down their nose at us that some will take.

[Not him though. No matter how much he hates Evandau and the Emperor, no matter how much they piss him off and no matter how sick and tired he is, he's still going to help. Because his people are stuck here.]

[Video]

[grayatonement]

And what do you do when it becomes too much?

[Video]

[tactile_telekinesis]

Me? I'll still do what's best for us that are trapped here. It's been at 'too much' since the day I got here but I'm not gonna make it worse for other people by lashing out completely.

[Video]

[grayatonement]

That's a powerful skill to have.

[Video]

[tactile_telekinesis]

To not be a jerk?

[Video]

[grayatonement]

Yes.

[Video]

[tactile_telekinesis]

Well, it wouldn't be fair if I made things stupidly difficult for other people.

[Video]

[grayatonement]

'Fair' is a very tricky word.

[Video]

[tactile_telekinesis]

Well it fits in all of this. I wouldn't like someone making it more difficult for me if I couldn't handle it.

[Video]

[grayatonement]

Few people would.

[Video]

[tactile_telekinesis]

Kon by the way. Figured you should maybe know the name of someone you've just been talking to.

[Video]

[grayatonement]

It's nice to meet you, Kon. Thank you for taking the time to chat.
