M-Tac: Protection or Persecution?  New York Times, January 11, 2119. M-Tac Captain Awarded Medal of Valor, LA Times, November 21, 2119. Mutants Killed Outside Q'Apelle Valley, Toronto Star, February 15, 2120. EPIC Raids Crystal Palace, New York Times, September 15, 2120. The first is a lengthy report on the history of M-Tac, and Majors is listed as a recent graduate of their secretive recruitment process.  The second is an attacking expose on the actions M-Tac uses to subdue and control mutants.  The third is a piece solely on Captain Majors, who stopped a suspected Anarchy assassination attempt on the president.  The fourth one stops you cold. February 15, 2120Quebec police are lauding the actions of M-Tac Captain Carmilla Majors today, as the off duty member of the NAA Special Ops Mutant Control and Tactical Squadron rescued a kidnap victim from a trio of mutants near Q'Apelle Valley, a small town in rural Quebec.  The mutants proved violent and were all slain by Captain Majors in the rescue.  She was unavailable for comment. The unidentified male teenaged victim, who had been branded with a tatoo on the back of his neck, was taken to local hospital where he panicked and attacked an orderly with a scalpal.  The orderly was injured, then promptly healed by the teenager who displayed remarkable healing powers. Local police have temporarily taken the boy into custody both for his protection and that of others.  They are awaiting the arival of NAA officials who will transfer him to a NAA medical research facility until his identity can be ascertained. Cindy MarshallToronto Star You blink in a complete stupor, as memories of the day you were found rush into your head.  You remember the car, then an explosion and a fire...  "Ah, enough memory has come to you finaly," a voice says.  You stand on one side of a hearth, fire blazing within it.  Across from you is a man, cloaked in shadows, sitting in a high backed chair.  His hands are steepled in front of his face.  "I wondered when your amnesia would fade enough for your programming to start to kick in.  It is only a matter of time before you return to me, Directive 12.  Once you remember everything, you will return to how you were, and your only desire will be to serve me." "Who are you?" you find yourself asking, your hands reaching across the hearth to try to pull the hood from over his head. "You know who I am," he replies without emotion. The flames shoot up, sending searing jolts of pain through your hands and arms.  You fall back... You are sitting on the floor.  The entire wall before you billows smoke.  The ARIS monitor is cracked and melted and flames lick about the sides of it.  The fire alarm sounds and the fire supression system kicks in, dousing your room in water and a light foam.  It sizzles as it hits your badly burned hands.  A word comes unbidden to your mind. "Father." You pass out on the floor, oblivious to the spreading fire. Throughout the Institute (2:00 PM)Sanjay and Vincent are getting a deliver.  Johan is doing a design.  Raisa is dancing.  Kevin and Carl are watching Nova and Thunder practice. (John is in a car somewhere, Loki is heading to a LAN party, Michelle is shopping) The fire alarm goes off in the Boys Dorm. Smoke billows up from X12's second floor room window and the fire supression system seems to be having a hard time coping.  Titan, Thunder, Sanchez and Nova all drop what they are doing and head for the disturbance.</blockquote>
