Mallory, Darian and Vanessa arrived at Voss Tower early in the morning. Everything had been prepared but there was a lot of nervous energy in the house, and they thought it would be better spent at the office than at home.

You can only drink so much espresso before it just becomes pointless. Or dangerous. Even with System enhancements.

So they drove to the office and all rode the elevator to the 19th floor. The doors opened and they stepped out into the long hallway.

Morning light filtered in through the windows to their left, and several doors to the auditorium lined to wall to the right.

"Looks like it's all set up," Darian said. "Do you want to go over your speech again?"

Mallory sighed.

"No, I've got it all ready to go. I'm not really nervous as much as anxious to get it done."

She looked up at them and laughed quietly.

"Does that even make sense?"

Vanessa and Darian wrapped her in a hug, and they held on for a long time.

Just breathing together.

Finding strength in each other.

Finally, Mallory let go.

"I think I needed that," she said. "I'll be in my office prepping my notes. See you in a bit?"

Darian and Vanessa kissed her and entered the auditorium.

Shortly after, the staff started arriving to set up the bottles of water, coffee and tea at the refreshment stations.

Mallory decided to take the stairs up to the 20th floor, and entered her office.

She read her speech over twice more, made a few adjustments, and printed it out.

She sent the text to her assistant to be fed into the teleprompter, and leaned back in her chair.

"Elliot," she said aloud, "I hope you're watching. It's been a long road to this point, and we've got a ways to go. But I think we've been able to lay a solid foundation. I think you'd be proud."

Finally, as the 10:00 hour approached, she made her way back down to the 19th floor and prepared to give her speech.

Good morning, and welcome back to Voss Tower.

Thank you to the millions watching the livestream. I appreciate your attention.

[pause]

As of this morning, 6.8 billion people all over the world have now taken Vitalyx, and the endless reports of health conditions or all kinds being cured and reversed are both inspiring and humbling.

When Elliot Voss began pursuing his goal of curing humanity from all ills, it was such a preposterous vision that he didn't even dare to tell the CEOs of his own companies.

But in 2025 when it was all brought together into the amazing Vitalyx compound, nobody could deny that he'd accomplished something miraculous.

And I don't use that word lightly.

We've gotten reports of stage five cancer being cured in days. People with debilitating mental or physical maladies walking and talking as if they were in the peak of their youth.

We are proud of the incredible work our scientists have done here. The constant stories denoting the success of Vitalyx honor them and their work.

And they honor Elliot Voss and his vision.

So, from all of us who worked behind the scenes to bring Vitalyx to you, we thank you for your trust.

[pause]

Now, you're wondering why I brought you here again. Am I right?

[pause]

There were two pieces to Elliot Voss's vision for the future of humanity.

The first was to cure illness, disease and negative genetic mutations to protect future generations.

The second was to extend the human lifespan.

[long pause]

[hold up vial]

We call it Rejuvenex. And just like Vitalyx, it comes in liquid form, and requires no medical training to administer.

You simply drink the serum, and within a week it takes effect.

So what are the effects of Rejuvenex?

Well, once your body has been cleansed of disease with Vitalyx, Rejuvenex locks that perfect state of health in.

It's hard to measure without the time to do so, but our estimates are that every human being will be capable of living for centuries. Maybe even longer.

Each vial of Rejuvenex will reverse up to twenty years of aging. Telomeres are lengthened, dead cells will be capable of dividing again. Respiratory and mental functions are improved.

So what does it look like?

Gray hair will return to its natural color. Balding will be reversed. Mental faculties will return to their peak condition. Dementia, Parkinsons, Alzheimers, all concerns of the past.

Rejuvenex will return your body and mind to around the biological age of 35. For those younger than 35, you will age until around that point and stop.

For those more than 20 years older, you can take extra doses of Rejuvenex two weeks apart, until you reach 35.

As before, we have manufactured enough doses for the entire world population to reach the target age.

Thanks to the generosity of Elliot Voss, these doses, like Vitalyx, are to be provided to every man, woman and child on the planet at no cost.

[pause]

This is important: You must wait one week after taking Vitalyx before taking Rejuvenex. The hospitals, clinics and pharmacies around the world have records, and will not administer Rejuvenex until that one-week period is up.

But do not worry. There is enough supply for everyone. There's no need to hoard or limit it. Everyone on Earth will have the opportunity to live in perfect health, and for a very long time.

[pause]

There will be many questions about overpopulation issues caused by extended lifespans, let me address a few issues.

First, resources. You may have noticed that once you took Vitalyx, the amount of food required to maintain a healthy lifestyle has been reduced drastically.

You need less sleep and consume less food, and yet you have more energy than ever before. This means that the current level of global agricultural production is more than enough to sustain all life on our planet.

Second, space. This one is more of an issue, admittedly. But Elliot Voss hoped that once everyone had the gift of perfect health and extended longevity, perhaps humanity could begin extending more grace to those in need.

Healthcare once consumed huge percentages of national budgets. With those burdens gone, we can redirect vast resources into housing, sustainability and exploration.

[pause]

Finally, as before, we have extensive data available for anyone who wishes to view it. It has been released on the Voss Foundation website moments ago.

The detail can be curated by your own level of expertise in the medical field, from layperson to research scientist.

We are here to answer your questions.

On behalf of the late Elliot Voss and all those who work for Voss Group companies, we thank you for your trust in our work.

And we hope you enjoy your newfound health and longevity.

Mallory stepped back from the podium, and the cameras stopped broadcasting.

Within moments, all three thousand in the room swarmed forward to ask their questions.

This time, Elise and thirty doctors were on hand to help, and it was around 5:00 PM when they finally dispersed and the auditorium was quiet again.
