"I have gathered all of you here today with excellent news. The Horizon Project is complete and working flawlessly. As my fellow researchers, as well as my friends, I congratulate and thank each and every one of you for the time and money you have put into this project." Corrin said, taking a sip from the glass of water beside her.

"So, I would like to thank all of you for everything you have done over these past few months to help us reach our collective goal. To what lies on the horizon." She said, with a raise of her glass.

The people sitting at the table around her all raised their glasses and drank their freshly poured champagne in unison.

"But it is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to you." Said Corrin, as a look of confusion wove it's way around the table.

"Trust me, I wouldn't be doing this if it weren't in the best interest of the company, and the world. You see, I've been informed that someone has been leaking information about our project to those who wish to end us. I'm sure all of you understand that I cannot simply allow this action to continue. Thus, my most loyal servants are currently executing every single one of the workers with enough information to be doing this. I really hope you understand why I have to tie up any and all lose ends in order to ensure my own security. Goodbye my friends." And with a snap of her fingers, Corrin condensed the iron in her colleagues' blood and ripped their bodies apart.
