"I've never in my years seen anything like this. I'm nearly left speechless. I've gone through everything. Wars, countries rising and falling, atrocities, nations starving, bombs, mass graves, holocaust...everything. But never before have I seen this. This meeting of the minds, this meeting of humanity." he said, voice not the same stoic one that people had come to be familiar with during his tenure. He'd come out of retirement to cover the summit, and he recognized that not even he could be impartial as he reported. He couldn't even summon up what it would take to do so.

It was all happening. The world was changing. It wasn't ever going to be the same as it once was. Humanity's next step was taking place here, it was taking place now. And he'd be sharing it with the world. The words on the teleprompter blurred as tears welled in his eyes, even if he didn't need the thing. He'd not prepared any speeches, he was doing it all from the heart, just reporting without the benefit of editing himself. He wanted everyone watching, everyone who couldn't be here, to experienced it all through him--and the only way to do that was to let everyone see how overwhelmed he was, how overjoyed. He needed to share, and this was how.
