Element Reactions
Someone materialized from the hologram, tall and bright-faced. He stepped forward, the black box above him moving as well. He held a microphone and shouted, "Here we go, Nathan!" Then, he clapped, "Hi Nathan, my name is Max. How are you doing?"
Nathan rose to his feet to greet the man, as well as Meriel, who also stood and positioned herself firmly behind Nathan to avoid looking at the black box hovering in front of them.
"Who are you?" Nathan asked Max, his voice flat.
"Oh right! I'm sorry," Max replied with a laugh. "It looks like I'm so excited that I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Max Berger, here as a host that is broadcasting this event live. Wave your hand, Nathan!" He then pointed to the camera. "Those who are watching want to know a lot from you."
Nathan followed Max's instruction, waving his hand, "Hi..." he said with a smile.
