## History

### Interviewing Collin Bogert

*"Well, how about it! Some hyper action! Oh, I haven't had my news report setting this insane since I interviewed the oddball himself!"*
―Cameron Mann[src]
Cameron Mann interviewed OddBall Studios creator Collin Bogert in an unusual setting. Cameron acknowledged this, but didn't seem to mind.

### Visiting TheDailyREDACTED.net Studios

*"Oh, for crying out loud! Will you stop dropping your lore bombs, already!? I agree, it is important to go in depth with your reports, but not THAT much depth!"*
―Cameron Mann to Thaddeus T. Thaddeus[src]

Cameron Mann visited TheDailyREDACTED.net Studios during the 2022 National News Day event. Being joined by other studio guests, Cameron met the head of *TheDailyREDACTED.net*, Thaddeus T. Thaddeus. Thaddeus began to share with the guests his story of how the business came to be, but Cameron interrupted as Thaddeus continued to ramble for much longer then he had to. Cameron agreed that, while it was important to go into depth with a person's news report, Thaddeus didn't have go into that much depth. Thaddeus then questioned who Cameron was, so Cameron introduced himself as a freelance news reporter from Boston, USA. Cameron mentioned he had been doing freelance work for five years since he graduated, but was now finally looking for a job.

### Reporting Strode and Swock

*"This is Cameron Mann reporting to you live all the way from Craftington City, where two fellas behind me are having one of, if not, the most restless fights I've seen captured live on screen!"*
―Cameron Mann[src]

Observing Haven Strode and Sweddie Swock's rivalry, Cameron became surprised as their feud broke into an intense fight. Cameron began to live broadcast the madness and report on it. Rushing up to a camera, Cameron Mann filed his news report, as Strode and Swock continued to punch each other in the background, describing it as one of the most restless fights he had ever seen captured live on screen. Suddenly, Thaddeus grabbed ahold of Cameron from the side and dragged him out of the way.

#### Observing the Emerald Crate of Ultrimax

*"Oh my goodness! I never thought I'd see such levels of insanity captured on film! This is truly a newsworthy moment! Bill Vestwell! What is your opinion on this terrible tragedy!?"
"My opinion is that you should SHUT UP and SAVE YOURSELF!"*
―Cameron Mann and Bill Vestwell[src]

Just then, Strode's violence towards Swock resulted in the Emerald Crate of Ultrimax be activated. Observing the Emerald Crate rotating in midair and shooting green lightning all over TheDailyREDACTED.net Studios, Cameron continued to remain positive despite the hellish scene, mentioning that he'd never thought he'd see such levels of insanity captured on film. Cameron then turned towards Bill Vestwell and interviewed him, asking for his opinion regarding the chaos.

Bill told Cameron that his opinion was that he should shut up and save himself from the Emerald Crate's power, and then ran out of the building to escape. Dexter Hoffman demanded the remaining people to take cover, but Cameron stayed where he was, admiring the 'light show' that was being caused by the Emerald Crate. Suddenly, Thaddeus dragged him away once more, just before the Emerald Crate exploded.

### Strode's Loss

*"Well, whaddya know! And just like that, Haven D. Strode takes the L! What a series of unfortunate events for this guy! Do you have anything you’d like to say about your firing, Mr. Strode!?"
"Uuuuggggghhhhh… GET OUT OF MY FACE!!"*
―Cameron Mann and Haven Strode[src]

Cameron Mann soon came out to observe the destruction that the Emerald Crate of Ultrimax caused to TheDailyREDACTED.net Studios. Cameron began reporting that the rampage at the broadcasting centre had concluded, but he was slapped by Thaddeus T. Thaddeus, who demanded him to shut up. Thaddeus then officially declared Strode fired for his stupidity, prompting Cameron to report his massive loss. Cameron then interviewed Strode, asking if he had anything to say about his firing.

Upset with Cameron's pestering, Strode demanded him to get out of his face, but Cameron told him to calm down, saying he was just doing his job. Strode then threatened Cameron, but Thaddeus urged him to leave, causing Strode to disappear. Dexter Hoffman then realized that with Strode gone, they now needed to find someone to replace him. Seeing this as the perfect opportunity to get in good with the business, Cameron tried persuading Thaddeus into hiring him. Unfortunately, Thaddeus denied Cameron's request, and left him behind.
