James has been pursued by authorities since.Oct 2010: A branch of the CIA is 'formed' (More appropriately their existance is revealed, as they have existed in secret since the Reagan administration) to deal with Meta-human incidents.  They are named The "Meta-Human Research and Protection Agency".Nov 2010: After extensive questioning and validation, Terry Quinlan is released from isolation after agreeing to work with the Gryphon Corporation.Jan 2011: Cassandra Allen, one of the still-unidentified Metas from the Metro-School terrorist attack, begins working with the Gryphon CorporationMarch 2011: Yesterday.Gryphon Corporation Headquarters, Metro CitySeveral people sit around an oak table in a large, luxurious conference room.  All attention is on a rotund yet distinguished gentleman and the two young people he adresses."Terry Quinlan, AKA 'Grid', and Cassandra Allen, AKA 'Fulcrum'." The speaker is Robert Gryphon, current CEO and Grandson of founder William Gryphon "It is the decision of the oversight committee that you are both fit for active field duty.  At the request of Ms Allen, and after numerous unsuccessful attempts to contact him ourselves, we have decided to send you as partners to track down and speak to an associate of hers from her old reporting job, a Mr James Corin.  Several months ago he was implicated in an assassination on a New York congressman.  We believe him to be inocent, but possibly dangerous.  We're sending you two, as fellow mutants, to see if you can... convince him to come in.  I'm sure we can help him with his problems.  Our last intel puts him in a particularily bad area of LA.."Los Angeles, TodayAfter a few weeks of 'investigative journalism'(Or so he liked to call it, he wasn't really a reporter anymore, after al..), James Corin had finally found something big.  He'd been on the trail of a particularily nasty meth dealer who had a tendency of hooking teens and forcing them into working for him to pay for their habits.  Drugs, Prostitution, Murder... This guy was guilty of it all, but for some reason the police couldn't - or wouldn't - go after him.  Not being particularily fond of being near the police himself (being a wanted fugitive and all), James had decided to take matters into his own hands.He had managed to track down some of the dealers organizations and locate a factory which was reputed to be a major supplier.  Maybe if he took it out he could send a message...[sblock=ooc]Allrighty, will write more PC's into the story as the situation becomes available.   Shayuri/Jkason - As you guys are technically a day 'behind', I'd like to catch you up to the present and your flight to LA ASAP, but I figured I should give you a chance to ask any questions you may have (In character that is, if you have any out of character, please refer them to the OOC thread).Rathan - I figured this would be the kind of trouble Tinman would find.  I'm sure a large, metalic man could do some serious damage to a meth lab.. how would you like to progress?[/sblock]</blockquote>
