A montage sequence of past interviews and closeups of the host flashed on the screens to mellow techno music. An announcer spoke:
"He asks the questions, and we all get to hear the answers. This is Fifteen Minutes with Colin Mckay."
The screens then showed a medium shot focused on Mckay seated.
"Good day everyone. Today, my guest is a man of great distinction. Some call him a hero, and certain undesireables have called him Magneto's Terrible Terrier. Would everyone please give a warm round of applause for The Commander of S.H.I.E.L.D. , Mr. Samuel Guthrie!"
Canned applause was piped into the sound and the camera's all turned thier attentions to Guthrie.

Samuel smiled a broad dazzling grin, one he saved for such occasions. As "terrible" as he seemed, to the public eye Samuel was nothing more than a handsome, if a little pompous, young man.
Sure he had pressing military matters to deal with, but Samuel could never resist the call of the press. He delighted in every little scandal they dared to print about his love life, in every front page article on his heroism in whatever battle had recently occurred. Samuel was a slave to the spotlight.
"Thank You....thank you very much.." Samuel replied with a slight nod of the head.

"Ever since yer a very busy fella Mr. Guthrie, Ah'll just jump straight into the questions. The Charity Group known as Habitat and Culture for Post-Humanity recently recieved a large anonymous donation of One Hundred Million Imperial Dollars, for thier efforts in reconstructing the Grand Ol' Opry house, in Nashville Tennessee.
Coincidentally, according to yer fan-written biography on SamIsHot.com, it claims that one of yer firsts happened in the original Grand Ol' Opry building. A lot of folks suspect that yew are that anonymous philanthropist Mr. Guthrie. Are ya?"

"Now, now Mr. McKay, where would the fun of it be if I told you?" Samuel said through a wide grin, "But I did have some good times in my youth before I answered the call of duty, I can say that much..."
He should have been a politician.
He knowingly winked at the camera, "But far be it for a gentleman to kiss and tell..."

"Do ya recall what or who was performin, besides yerself of course, at that particular moment?"

Although he smiled at the question, Samuel began to grow slightly annoyed.
"I wish I could say...but my mind has been far too occupied with defending the empire against it's various enemies..." He said, "So forgive me if reminiscing isn't my strong suit"
There was really very little of his childhood that was worth remembering, up until he began his service to the empire. Samuel had worked hard to leave it all behind him, and nothing would change that.

"And speaking of enemies of the Empire, Ah just have to ahsk..." A screen lowered behind the two seated men, and an image appeared upon it:  "The Rhino, the latest human terrorist arrested by S.H.I.E.L.D. As Ah understand it, yew personally brought him down. So the folks here have been wonderin, did he smell far worse than he looked?" |

"Ah yes...Rhino.." Samuel replied, "It really quite sad the things humans will do to make themselves feel even remotely equal to us...just look at that outfit he's wearing!"
He laughed softly, wailing on that big lug had been very therapeutic for him.
"But yes, drastic genetic modification and latex are not a good mix, I felt the need to shower three times after we brought him in.."

"So what's been done with him? Rehabilitaded? Incarcerated? Or does that fall into Classified Information?"

"Let's just say it's a combination of all three..." Samuel answered with a knowing smile, "And leave it at that.."
Such was the fate of all Magneto's enemies, and Samuel would be the one to bring them to justice.

"A pity times almost up fer us here. So just one more question before the credits roll: Even though you are obviously very happy with yer life and with what yew do, is there any one thing yew would change?"

Samuel mused the question over for a short while. He did so love to cater to the people...
"I would only wish I had more hours in the day, then I could do more good in the name of Magneto.."

"Thank you fer sharin some of yer time with us Mr. Guthrie, but the fifteen minutes is up now."
Kylun turned to look at the camera and gave all the folks watching at home his newsanchor's endearing smile.
"Thanks to everyone for tunin in. Ah'll see ya all again on the primetime news later today. Tommorrow, my guest will be the performing artist sensation the whole world knows as: The Dazzler."
The lights faded, the stirring simple technosynth music played, and the credits rolled on the screens.
