WCOC Building - Upper Westside


“Good morning, Millennium City and welcome to WCOC News, the most up to date news channel around! I’m Rob Mahogany, your beloved news caster!” smiled Rob.

“And I’m Victoria Crownstone…Millennium City’s hottest! Today’s stories…Downtown Disaster; the Downtown area is a well-known hotspot for super villain activity and we focus on the most recent attack in the area and how residents are dealing with the aftermath.” smiled Victoria.

“The recent attack by the super villains, Kenina and Frosticus as well as the ensuing super powered battle with superheroes that fought to stop them, has caused millions of dollars’ worth of property damage to the Downtown area. We will be speaking to displaced citizens a little later on and also focus on what Mayor Biselle is doing about it.” she continued.

“Also on our headlines, the newly announced ‘BiselleCare’ plan has been pledged by Mayor Biselle. BiselleCare will be a financial assistance system designed to help displaced civilians affected by super powered conflict. This scheme aims to be in place by 2020. We’ll be speaking to Mayor Biselle a little later on about that.” added Rob.

“But first our top story…the Summerstone Shutdown. Within the past twenty four hours, almost all forms of social media including Chitter, Face Space and InstaSnap have become obsessed with a picture posted on Chitter, from a student who claims to attend the Summerstone Academy.” she continued.

Rob Mahogany leant forwards, his frown deepening as he prepared to read his part on the autocue. He blinked several times as the camera man signalled him, letting him know the viewers were looking at a series of pictures and not him. He vigorously beckoned hair and make-up over to re-adjust his hair as he spoke. He hesitated as Becca from the Legal Team held up a large sign with the words “EMPHASISE THE TERM ‘ALLEGED’” on them. Rob nodded and continued speaking.

“The picture from the alleged student shows what appears to be an electronic notice from the Academy addressed to all staff and students, informing them that on the 1st of May 2015, the Summerstone Academy will shut down for “the foreseeable future “and that students will be “reimbursed a full years payment within five business days” after the date of shutdown. The original picture from the alleged student includes the caption ‘WTF?!’ clearly indicating that there had been no signs that the academy was shutting down and no doubt comes as a shock.”

“The Summerstone Academy’s success at producing excellence has remained unquestioned since its appearance several years ago. Well known for taking the best the world has to offer and improving and educating them, the Summerstone Academy has continued to produce incredibly successful business men and women, members of society and even members of the super powered society. The Summerstone Academy has been described as an example to other educational institutions and was founded by the Dr. Mentella Summerstone, a doctor of clinical and forensic psychology, who also operates as a super hero within Millennium City.” Victoria continued.

“The incredibly quick and early success of the academy allowed it to expand globally, allowing for several Academies to be set up worldwide. In the past few years, the Summerstone Academy in Millennium City has sustained several attacks by super villains but managed to bounce back quickly without lasting effects from the cost of rebuilding. With nothing but excellent reviews, results and the highest standard of teaching, and no apparent financial problems to speak off, the burning question on everyone’s lips is, simply put, why?” frowned Rob.

The camera man gave both news anchors a signal, as he turned the focus back to them. Victoria frowned as Rob prepared to speak, interjecting as she heard a message come through. She raised her hand pressing her index and middle finger into the earpiece as she spoke.

“Rob, viewers…we have just received word that we can go live to a press conference at the Summerstone Academy in Millennium City. We’ll now go to our on-the-scene reporter Julie Morgan, to see if the rumors circling social media websites are in any way factual. The following report may contain flashing images that some viewers may find difficult to watch. Julie?” stated Victoria Crownstone.



-SUMMERSTONE ACADEMY PRESS CONFERENCE-

The camera’s view switches to a woman with short red hair, dressed in a green jacket and dark green skirt stood outside a large, futuristic looking building where a podium was set up a few feet away. She was surrounded by a crowd of other reporters, as the camera panned around it was clear that still more reporters were arriving and setting up; some were taking pictures of the Academy.

“Victoria, I’m currently standing outside with a large crowd of reporters and some international correspondents; who have all travelled to get an official word on this situation from Miss Mentella Summerstone, founder of the prestigious Summerstone Academies. The conference begins in five minutes; hopefully we will get an official word on the situation which has captured the attention of a large majority of social media websites.”


-FIVE MINUTES LATER-

The camera’s zoomed in the doors as they opened, revealing Mentella accompanied by ForceTech Industries CEO, J’asira Summerstone and a man known to the media as only ‘Edward’. His unusual blue eyes and handsome features were well placed in an almost form fitting black suit and purple tie. He looked down at the reporters, a dangerous glint in his eye as he scanned the audience. Mentella stepped up to the podium, the perpetual stern apparent on her face as she addressed the reporters and cameras.

“Good morning all and welcome to the Summerstone Academy press conference. As you are all aware, a little more than twenty four hours ago, a picture was posted onto the social media website Chitter and ever since the question on the minds of everyone interested relates directly to the news that has managed to find its way into the public eye. People do make mistakes. Unfortunately, that student made the mistake of disseminating such information outside of the Academy before the situation was properly explained. I have called this press conference in order to address the information from the picture that is now in the public eye… Due to a series of necessary alterations, it is…with regret that I must confirm that I will begin the process of shutting down the Summerstone Academy in Millennium City, as well as those worldwide. Five weeks from now, which will be the 1st of May 2015, the Summerstone Academies, worldwide will have closed down for the foreseeable future.” explained Mentella.

Several cameras clicked as she spoke and continued after she finished speaking and Julie took her opportunity to get information, as other reporters nearby seemed to be having spontaneous technical difficulties.

“Good morning Doctor Summerstone, Julie Morgan from WCOC News, you mentioned some ‘necessary alterations’. Does that mean you are in financial trouble? What does this mean for your staff? Would you be willing to shed some light on what you meant?” she asked.

The camera zoomed in closer as Mentella turned her attention to Julie, her eyes narrowing as she looked down at her.

“Hello, Miss Morgan. Whilst I will not be expanding upon my previous comment, I will happily inform you that there are no financial issues with the Summerstone Academies. As previously stated, this action is a result of a series of necessary alterations. Those who are affected by the closing of the Academies, such as staff and students are already receiving instruction on possible next steps.” Mentella replied.

There was a pause before the crowd erupted with many different questions, some related and others completely unrelated. The questioned ranged from rumours of threatened legal action against the Academy from parents to rumours of Mentella selling the Summerstone Academy to the Ravenswood Academy. The cacophony of camera’s flashing and rabid reporters caused Mentella to frown. ‘Edward’ stepped forwards and tapped her arm and she looked back at him and nodded slightly. Mentella turned back to the microphone and snapped her fingers; the sound was surprisingly loud and seemed to quiet the crowd.

“There is nothing more to say on the matter at this point in time. Thank you.” Mentella stated, as she stepped away from the podium.

Julie Morgan came back into view, watching as Mentella departed followed by the ForceTech Industries CEO and ‘Edward’. She turned back to the camera; somewhat shocked at the response she was given. She composed herself and continued doing her job.

“Well…in no uncertain terms, we have all just had official confirmation that the Summerstone Academies will be shutting down for the foreseeable future. As to the exact reason why…there hasn’t been much information in that regard. This is Julie Morgan reporting live for WCOC News, back to you at the studio Rob.” nodded Julie.


-WCOC NEWS ROOM-

“Wow…well. There you have it folks. The Summerstone Academies are in fact shutting down. That…certainly is a mystery, don’t you think Victoria?” Rob frowned, turning to Victoria Crownstone.

“I agree Rob. Thanks for updating us Julie. But remember viewers, as ever we will keep you informed if there are any developments with that situation. Now…ahem…we have Mayor Biselle here to talk to us about his new plan ‘BiselleCare’ and interviewing him is none other than Ryan Santana. Over to you Ryan...” said Victoria.
