It's late night...or very early morning. Somewhere in both Paragon and the Rogue Isles, TVs begin to show a new advert. Its the time of the morning when the adverts are for dubious phone services, like dial a psychic (who usually lack real psychic powers) amongst other things.
An old man with grey, wrinkled, skin, a thick busy white beard and long white hair pulled back into a pony tail greets the screen. Turning away from a science set only ever really seen in hollywood 50s monster movies. He has one fully cybernetic arm and a cybernetic hand on the other. Dressed in a white, sleeveless shirt and blue cargo trousers.
"Oh hello there, didn't see you come in. Some of you may know me, I'm Doctor Mechano, founder and owner of Necrotech industries."
He begins walking, the camera panning with him.
"The company that bought you the Dream Partner and New You programs, advertised in several high end superhero focused magazines and on television. Well I have a new service to announce!"
Sitting back down in a large, comfy chair in a plush looking office, the very formal scene somewhat spoiled by the large Shivan, wearing a red and white tie, standing behind him.
"Are you struggling to find workers that will work for almost nothing? Are even illegal immigrant workers beyond your price budget? Having trouble hiring henchmen to work for affordable wages or simply want something that will do a job nobody else would want to do?"
The camera swings around to reveal a giant tank filled with some kind of bubbling semi-clear liquid.
"Well I introduce to you the latest venture from Necrotech, GEL. or Gelatinous Engineered Lifeform to give the substance its full name."
"GEL is easily produced and thus easily affordable for anyone. How does GEL work you ask?"
The screen fades into a montage of scenes.
"GEL is poured into a mould, much like regular Gelatine, once poured into the mould and left twenty four hours to set, simply introduce one end our patented device, capable of connecting to any computer, into the Gel and the other connected to a computer and you can program GEL to follow simple instructions using our special software, called GOOP or Gelatinous Origin Operations Program."
"Software so easy to use that anybody can do it, though we recommend that some computer literacy be required..."
"GEL can become a friendly and hairless pet for your children, no fleas or loose hair to worry about here. GEL can be poured into drains, sewers and even airducts to eliminate household vermin and unclog drains all in one function. GEL can even be used to make humanoid creatures to block your enemies path when making an escape."
"GEL is so affordable that the basic package, of only ninety nine dollars comes in industrial drums, suitable for making atleast three henchmen. Remember though, GEL isn't suitable for long term henching duties and is very simple minded, perfect for distracting Longbow during a Bank heist to get the money you need to hire real people."
"So that is GEL, the wonder invention and working solution for business seeking cheaper than cheap labour, aspiring masterminds and homes with pet allergy suffers alike!"
"Operators are standing by now if you call the number flashing on your screen, call now and we'll even through in a limited edition ten foot by ten foot cube mould, stocks are very limited on these moulds, so call now!"
The screen fades to the logo of a skull inside a cog with the words 'Necrotech industries: Because we care' underneath before going to another advert.
