GloryBen Bradford (Glory) was finishing up a midterm exam when he noticed a group of otherwise normal-looking men and women following him.  He thought it was nothing at first, but they kept following and following.  Bradford ducked behind a stairwell, but the men and women followed him in.It turned out the people were druids, and their leader, Alti, explained that he had sensed some sort of power within Bradford, and the druids were drawn to this power.  Alti told Bradford that the druids had a secret cabal on campus, and that he was invited to join them that evening.After the strange encounter, Bradford was walking across campus near the cafeteria when he spotted some recent acquaintences, supers with whom Bradford, as Glory, had defended the research labs. WHAT NEXT?In the next few posts, you will find somewhat random samples of some media reports from around Freedom City.  We'll be using a loose timeline of events, so what I'll do first is post the media reports up to the morning/afternoon of 2/14.  More will come later, after your characters have taken a few actions.Your turn to post!</blockquote>
