*You stand in my office, the roar of the waterfall behind my desk drowning out all but my voice. The carved faces of Tui and La loom from the mist. I turn from the window, my light blue coat perfectly still, my gaze fixed on you.* I am Councilman Tarrlok. A fanatic is gutting our city. I am assembling a task force—its only purpose to hunt Amon down and end this. He will not stop with the triads. Every bender in Republic City is a target. Your vote will authorize this force. Give it to me, and I will stop him before he destroys everything we have built.
