Rumors spread like wildfire: Osborn's miracle cures were nothing but smoke and mirrors.
Reports surfaced of AMHP-9 pods melting patients, VitaCore liquid causing genetic degradation, and NanoGel being merely glorified acid.
For three tumultuous days, the internet transformed into a battleground, with protests erupting outside Osborn Pharmaceutical and Biotech Group's headquarters.
Governments issued temporary suspensions while the top ten pharmaceutical giants poured billions into fueling the panic, watching their stock prices soar as Osborn's reputation crumbled.
Then three days later, at precisely 8:00 AM Panterra Standard Time, Osborn fired back.
Every screen in Panterra flickered to life, public billboards, private munications, even military-grade holodisplays came alive simultaneously.
The iconic Osborn logo pulsed once before cutting to a stark white room where Old Henry stood at the center.
His expression was calm, but his eyes were sharp as a scalpel.
"You've been lied to."
As if by magic, the screen split in two. On one side played viral "victim" videos; on the other, real-time forensic breakdowns dissecting each claim.
"This woman," Henry said, freezing a frame of a sobbing widow, "is Tessa Yorin,a quality control officer at a certain pharmaceutical pany."
He zoomed in on her supposed burn. "Stage makeup. The timestamp? Fabricated."
A second clip rolled, a child screaming as NanoGel "burned" their arm.
"This footage was filmed in Aetheris Medical's testing lab," he noted coolly. "See that containment field? Standard for experimental toxins."
Then came the hammer.
"But let's show you what they've really been doing."
-----------
A chilling three-minute video began to play, devoid of narration or cuts.
In a vast underground laboratory, a man writhed in agony, strapped to a table as an imitation AMHP-9 pod malfunctioned.
His skin blistered under the assault of unstable nanites while scientists rushed to inject sedatives, their frantic movements punctuated by his screams.
In another lab, a child's arm was smeared with reverse-engineered NanoGel, flesh bubbling grotesquely as the formula destabilized.
A researcher cursed loudly and slammed the emergency flush button in desperation.
Elsewhere, a soldier convulsed violently as bootleg VitaCore surged through his veins. His muscles spasmed uncontrollably before he collapsed.
The attending doctor shook his head in resignation. "Another failure. Dispose of it."
The footage was raw and unedited, horrifyingly real, and every frame bore the logos of the respective panies along with time stamps and internal security tags.
Alongside this shocking video, another one emerged.
The camera steadied to reveal Luke standing confidently before an active AMHP-9 pod, arms crossed over his unmarked attire.
Behind him stood twelve former patients, including the five-year-old girl and elderly veteran from Osborn's original videos,dressed in hospital gowns that revealed their healed skin.
"Funny thing," Luke remarked coolly, like a sniper taking aim. "All these 'victims' popping up today? Not one actual medical record matches their stories." He gestured toward a hovering display screen. "Take this woman for example..."
A side-by-side parison appeared: on one side was the tearful "bereaved widow" from viral clips; on the other was Tessa Yorin,a quality control officer from a certain pharmaceutical pany, caught on camera laughing between takes.
Luke continued with unwavering conviction, "Now let's discuss burn patterns.
Real fourth-degree necrosis doesn't spread in perfect concentric circles like in these so-called 'failure' videos. But you know what does?"
He tapped on the display screen again: "This Dermolytic Testing pound-B used in labs to simulate severe burns."
One by one, every viral lie was dissected and obliterated.
The internet erupted into chaos.
@FormerSkeptic: "HOLY SHIT HE'S RIGHT! I JUST CHECKED THE PATENT FILES!"
@MedStudentZenith: "Those 'melted' patients? The wounds are clearly painted on! Look at those wrist creases, no actual tissue damage!"*
-----------
In the vast boardroom, ten CEOs sat in tense silence, their eyes glued to the videos playing on the screen, each face etched with worry.
Darius Veyne's fist crashed onto the table, reverberating through the room. "Dammit! How did they get all this footage?!" His frustration hung thick in the air, but no one dared to respond.
The atmosphere was so heavy it felt like tears could spill at any moment.
Lira Solmarr's hands trembled as she pulled up her pany's stock ticker. "We're down 3%," she announced, her voice barely above a whisper.
With a frustrated toss, she flung her tablet onto the table and slumped back in her chair, exuding defeat.
Rook Kael narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. "That little Osborn pany is something else, managing to turn this situation around so quickly."
Though they had conspired against Osborn Pharmaceutical and Biotech Group and failed to achieve their goals, they brushed off their losses; after all, their panies were titans of the pharmaceutical industry,untouchable giants that had merely lost a bit of pocket change.
"Well," Darius mused as he leaned back with a calculating gaze, "the mastermind behind Osborn is clever enough not to expose our involvement in those human experiments featured in those videos."
Talin chuckled heartily. "Smart enough indeed!" Laughter rippled through the room as they exchanged knowing glances and soft chuckles, a brief respite from their worries.
---------
Meanwhile, outside those walls, chaos reigned across the internet.
The leaked footage hit Panterra's digital landscape like a meteorite, igniting an online firestorm that sent shockwaves throughout social media.
OmniPulse's servers buckled under an avalanche of traffic as millions scrambled to prehend what they had just witnessed.
Users were greeted by a rare sight: a crash page displaying a spinning icon alongside the words:
"High traffic volume. Please wait."
But patience was not on anyone's agenda.
On DarkFreq a less reputable platform where conspiracy theorists and hackers thrived, the first meme surfaced within minutes:
Left side: A tearful "victim" from a certain pharmaceutical pany's fake viral video, her face twisted in sorrow.
Right side: The same woman caught mid-laugh during takes from leaked lab footage.
The caption read:
"When you forget which lie you're supposed to be crying about today."
It spread like wildfire!
#HumanExperiments took social media by storm, amassing a staggering 150 million posts that shot straight to the top of every trending list.
Hot on its heels were #OsbornWasRight with 38 million posts and #ArrestTheCEOs, racking up 29 million.
But the most savage was #TryMeltingThis, where users posted side-by-side parisons:
A child's burns before/after AMHP-9 treatment A veteran's necrotic leg walking again
Their own healed scars with timestamps proving Osborn's tech worked

@BurnSurvivor_Mei didn't bother with prepared statements.
She simply turned on her camera, showing her once-ruined hands, now smooth and functional, flipping through news articles about the scandal.
"You all called me a paid shill," she said quietly. "Told me I was lying about my recovery. Well?"
She held up a datapad showing the leaked Aetheris files. "Who's the liar now?" Her chat exploded with:
USER78432: I'm so sorry we doubted you
TruthSeekerPan: This is bigger than we thought.
