Interlude
Dr. Hudabo’s Office
Dr. Hudabo nodded as he looked over the data, and shuffled the papers, “The students are much more powerful then we had originally anticipated, though they have a long way to go, they have handled two separate instances of violence with no losses, though we have had a few close calls.”
Dr. Simmons nodded, “Mr. McCallister feels that under his care he can truly mold them into what the United Nations feels can be a true second tier team, but I have my reservations, some of their psych profiles are less then stellar, it seems Mr. Praloski has continued to become more insular, and angry.”
Dr. McTaggert nodded and spoke, “Aye, the boy is a wee bit angry, from my evals, he has showed little improvement, his condition has made him express his anger outward, and these attacks have done little to reduce his paranoia.”
Jun Min sighed, “I am still against the idea of trying to use these teens as a team, they are young, inexperienced, and well kids for the most part. What if one of them dies?”
Dr. Hudabo nodded, “I understand the ramifications of that, but the anti-elite sentiment is growing, it seems Eduardo Valentino had many more supporters then originally believed. The United Nations wants to put forward its best face, and show that elites are here to help the general populace, not lord over them.”
Jun Min shook her head, “I still think this is a mistake, but it seems like the decision has been made, I trust Mr. McCallister’s judgment, I just don’t these kids to get in over their collective heads.”
Dr. Simmons nodded, but said nothing as he thought on the subject.
Dr. Hudabo finally broke the silence, “I am leery to do so, but we need to comply, they provide us with funding, we give them the go, and I will place Dr. Simmons, Miss Kim, and Mr. McCallister in charge of the training, we have two months to produce results, I will provide a roster of students that will be included in the training program.”
Jun Min nodded reluctantly, “Alright, what about the restriction, several students are becoming, stir-crazy, myself included.”
Dr. Hudabo sighed, adjusting his glasses, “This weekend we lift the restriction, Interpol and Justice Elite: Beta both have made numerous security sweeps of the city, several suspects have been rounded up, I cannot guarantee 100% safety, but the threat has been reduced, but I want increased security about Ryan Praloski, maintain an invisible presence, no need to increase his paranoia.”
Dr. Simmons nodded, “Mr. Kincaid can handle that sir.”
