The X-Project

One of my friends in Interpol just came up with an interesting tidbit about those FGH people. They had a number of teens doing internships for them in Ksavia. One of their parents contacted the local police saying that they hadn't heard from their son in over a week. This is all very sketchy and could just be them on a trip or something, but I'm going to keep on this, see where it leads.

SHIELD intel has just turned up credit card receipts with Nathan crossing state lines in Maryland, Virginia and Tennessee. This is now officially an FBI investigation now. SHIELD has also released Tyler's file over to the Bureau, and his last assignment was an undercover monitoring of a fringe fundamentalist church compound in Mississippi. Considering that and the states he's driven through, that's his most likely destination.

I've got the local field office working on obtaining a search warrant. I'm going to catch a flight now, and I'll be on the ground in less than two hours. I know people are worried, but keep the X-Men on standby for now. Kidnappings are the Bureau's obsession and SHIELD is looking at a multi-murderer on their payroll. Neither of them will appreciate outsiders butting in for now.

We've got a psion manifesting under tha worst possible circumstances in Madripoor. I think we need a team out now...

Sorry, a little hollow-eyed here.

Jennifer Ransome and Phillip Moreau disappeared from the suite late last night while under FBI guard. A staff member went in with room service, and never left. There's virtually no clues. Less than a minute after he went in, there was a two second call made to an international exchange number, and then nothing. There's no physical evidence anywhere about how any of them could have left the room unseen.

There's going to be an investigation, but with the lack of evidence, the State department is already talking about it being 'their choice to leave' to mend fences with the Genoshans. More when I have it.

Does someone who's known Summers for umpteen dozen years go and look in on Scott? I know Jean's still in a coma, but the emails from the WCA are starting to get borderline frantic about what they should be doing, since he not surprisingly dropped everything when he came out here on Monday. There's two telepaths working on the problem and this can't be good for the guy, to just sit there and stare for hours, eh. Hank, Kurt, maybe see if one of you can pry him away from the medlab for at least a coffee and to check his email?

We need the following people to the Danger Room.

Yvette Petrovic
Jean Grey
Monet St Croix
Angel Jones
Tabitha Smith
Jan Van Dyne
Paige Guthrie
Bobby Drake

Bring your skates. No, I'm not kidding.

Piotr, Yvette, Laurie, Jan, and Paige, your presence is requested in the situation room downstairs. Bring your leathers.

The Bureau and the US Marshals are about finished with SHIELD on the final investigation on the prison break. It's not exactly a cheerful summary. In short, it is the largest and most successful mass escape of the last fifty years of US Correctional history, and most of the worst of the escapees are dangerous mutant terrorists. Just wait until CBS, CNN and Fox catch up with the real numbers on this. It's not going to be a pretty reaction.

Looks like the key to the break-out was someone providing an inhaler of Kick to a prisoner inside, who passed it along to Infectia. They had taken precautions against her powers, but with Kick in her system, they might as well have not bothered. The 'Anti-Bodies' she infected, according to Dr.McCoy, manifested in the midst of the prison transfer, throwing the prison into chaos, and causing the multiple bus crashes and escapes. Infectia was smart enough to know that being on the lead bus gave her the best chance at escape. We don't have exact numbers yet, but at least twenty guards and correctional employees were killed in the incident.

Here's the really depressing part. For ease, I'm going to use their profile names from our own files, even if I'm stuck sounding like an idiot refering to a guy as 'Hairbag'. According to the Marshal's office, we and other agents recaptured eighty-five escapees, notable ones including:
Gregor
Arlee Hicks
Refrax
Lexa Pierce
Ruckus
Mad Dog
The Corruptor
Frost
Rust

Both Masque and Adam Kane remained at the prison for their own reasons and never escaped custody. Wildside was killed while resisting recapture. The incident is detailed in the post-mission report.

Now comes the bad part. Well over a hundred inmates remain at large. SHIELD and the US Marshal's are conducting massive manhunts across a two hundred mile radius, so likely better than half will be recaptured in the next few weeks. However, those with resources have a better than average chance of evading capture, and once outside of that zone, it's going to be up to the FBI to find them. Noted terrorists who escaped include:
Infectia
Brennan Mulwray
Shalimar Fox
Jesse Kilmartin
Dragoness
Hairbag
Avalanche
Ricochet
Katu
Bloodhawk
Toad
Ash
Rowan
Seabourn

We have to assume that Toad and the other Brotherhood will re-connect with Magneto soon enough. Colonel Fury passed along his 'unofficial' thanks for assisting SHIELD, as has DAD Duncan and the US Marshal Service. They'd love to have us involved in the ongoing search, but the risk of discovery is just too high now.

Logan, Marie, Lil and I are going to be gone for a few days to Canada. A number of our former teammates in Alpha Flight were killed in an incident in Northern Canada late Sunday. The funeral is on the 6th, although I'm not sure exactly when we'll be back.

Thanks to Amanda Sefton over at Snow Valley, we've managed to track down the guy in charge of the clinic that Jay went and got himself all messed up at. His name is Dr. Joseph Skrul, a German virologist who also used to work for Baron Von Strucker's company, who according to our files is high up on the evil Nazi scale of villians.

Considering that Paige has found out his other patients are dead, this is pretty much the only lead we've got to figuring out what's happening with Jay. I pulled his address up, and it's not that far of a drive from here. Miss Munroe, you mentioned wanting to be in the loop. You up for okaying a quick mission heading out to talk to the guy? Paige and Sam already kind of told me that they'd be going.
