[QUOTE="Nuke261, post: 1779213, member: 11182"] [i]Whitmyer Shopping Village[/i] Amanda slowly turned to look at Corey. She had moved closer to him as she did so. "What do you mean it just happened? Did you see it happen? Here at the mall? Did you see the mutant?" Her eyes were wide and her mouth hung slightly open. All eyes were on Corey. Even Lorenzo's could be seen in the rear view mirror as he drove. [i]Detention Center[/i] Ms. Sikula stood silently as they all threw questions at her. She was not surprised by this. It was just a lot more questions than she was used to at once. "First of all, not everything is predetermined. Imagine when you take your car to the shop for a tune-up. You know why you are taking it there but any number of things could happen after that." She was watching each of their faces, trying to get a measure of their reactions. "We attempt to match up your powers with any similar powers on file. Certain powers are considered useful. Say if you are a terra former then you can get a meaningful job in landscaping. However if your power is to emit nuclear radiation from your eyes then you would be considered much more dangerous. We do get a surprising number of new powers, though." Ms. Sikula turned and looked more closely at the boys. "You can certainly try and use your powers. Do you have much control of your flames? Would you burn your friends by accident Mr. Donaldson? Not to worry, the collars on your necks as well as the energy being emitted by the colored light, both serve to dampen your abilities." There was a smile on her face as she spoke to Sammy. It was not overly friendly. "As for your final fate, there are number of options. Safety Centers or Housing Camps (we don't use the term internment camps) and government service are but two options. Your attitudes about the matter as well as what we learn about your abilities will determine most of this for us. " She moved through the room, looking closely at Eleyna and Catherine as she moved. "Regardless. By the end of the night you will be relocated to a larger facility for further testing. After that, well I couldn't really say what is to happen. And as for what I would do if I was discovered as a mutant? I wouldn't have much choice. I would hope to have an ability that would prove useful to the government. If not, I wouldn't give them the chance to kill me." Ms. Sikula no longer smiled. She had stopped in front of Catherine with her back to Eleyna. "Is there anything else I can educate you about, children?" She turned and took in all of them with one look. It was obvious she was accustomed to this sort of thing. [/QUOTE]
