Message: <blockquote data-quote="Calinon" data-source="post: 1416475" data-attributes="member: 13737">September 16, 2120Mega-city of New YorkEPIC InstituteSometime in the morning... Morning comes too early.  The sun shines brightly and somehow, no matter how you move the blinds, it shines right on your head.  Birds chirp happily in the yard and a gentle breeze stirs the trees outside.  Unable to do battle with the noises of the outside world, the noises of the institute and the bright sunlight, you drag your sore, very sore in fact, bodies out of bed.  Every move reminds you of what happened yesterday.  A shower wakes you up and eases those pains, reminding you that it’s Saturday.  Awake now, and famished, you get dressed and head for the door.  You get to the door and grab the handle. Locked. You hear a beep behind you, and turn to see a data pad on the table and a flat screen monitor in the wall that wasn’t there before.  The monitor activates and you see Mrs. Desrochers face appear on it. “Good morning, sleepyhead.  Now that you are finally awake, get yourself some food and read that datapad.  Make any notes if you think there is anything else important that we should know about yesterday night, and bring it to the war room by noon. RaisaOn Raisa’s screen, the message is different.  “Now that you are up, feel free to read the pad left for you.  Remain in your room until I come to talk to you.”  It’s only a few minutes later when there is a knock at the door, and Empath walk ins, closing the door behind her. “Good morning, Raisa," she says with a smile.  "Coffee?" she asks, holding out a tall cup of steaming coffee for you.  "I'd like to hear what happened yesterday after you left the mall, if you are up to it." JohanOn Johan’s screen, the message is different.  “Good morning, Johan.  You’ll be happy to know that despite your extreme slip in judgement, none of your school-mates are dead.  While Kevin certainly bears a lot of the blame for how the entire event in the Crystal Palace went down, you bear an equal portion for letting him go off on his own. “Read your pad, and commit their injuries to memory.”  The list is frighteningly long.  “Perhaps it will serve as a reminder to share all relevant information with us in the future.  Also, make any notes you feel are important to the events of last night.  I trust we will not have to pry such information from you, or wait until you feel it is an appropriate time to disclose it.  Have that pad and yourself in the war room by noon. EveryoneReading the pad, you find an exceptionally detailed report of the happenings in the mall, in G-Spot after the main group arrived, the happenings in the foyer and on the roof.  What occurred in the Penthouse is somewhat sketchy, and nearly no mention is made of Raisa and Carl. The door unlocks with a faint click. The Mess HallEveryone is here, except Carl and Raisa, watching the TV.  Instead of cartoons or other shows, the news is on, playing in detail every bit of footage they could get of the combat that took place.  It is surprisingly good coverage, with very little in the way of negativitity (OOC:  You are seeing the same footage as in the epilogue pretty much). Anna is wheeling around, a huge pink stuffed bunny strapped to the back of her wheelchair.  Cosmo and Jackal sit near the TV, arguing about something. Noticeably missing are X12, Michelle, Tara and Kevin. Meanwhile, at Bush Memorial HospitalMichelle wakes up with a doctor hovering over her, who looks very much like Thunder. "Good morning," he says, and you realize it's the same doctor that treated you after your train ride. You see Tara, Kevin and X12 stirring in nearby beds.  You all feel surprisingly whole, but definitely not fully healed (OOC:  read as you are still disabled).  Your obvious wounds are gone, leaving little in the way of scarring, but you still feel wrecked a bit within.  A TV in your room is playing footage of the incidents yesterday, both within the Foyer and Car Park, and the G-Spot, along with some negative footage of Michelle on the roof. "It looks like you finally got some positive coverage," the doctor says.</blockquote>
