Chamber, Eris and Rot Grub get of on the mainland and ship over to the island with Patriot. Jenny says her goodbye at the airport.
Katie and Jack arrive the same way.
By the evening everyone has reached the institute, Joey and Clair are already there and have been shown their rooms. (oog: just wait till everyone is shown around.)
The pyramid is entered through an impressive main hall but Mr Kleinmaurer leads everyone into the library for the reception.The buildings interior is rather comfortable, with thick carpets and wooden plated walls. It gives a stark contrast to the gleaming outside. The whole interior is pleasantly temperatured. There are chairs arrayed in a half circle in the library. A rather good looking women in her mid-thirties waits there. She wears a white lab coat over her expensive looking pantsuit and holds a pair of classes in her left hand. She puts them on as the young mutants enter and smiles slightly and speaks in a soft voice.
"I hope you had a pleasant journey. I am Dr. Luka Garcia and it is my pleasure to welcome you all to the Haven Institute. Most of you do already know this but some do not so i will begin with the simple facts. Every one of you is a mutant, just like I am. Many of you might think that is a curse but you are here to learn different. I created this place as a chance for young mutants like you to learn about their powers and live without the fear of being hunted by people who fear them. Some of you are here illegally and some are even directly hunted by the authorities right now.”
She looks to Eris at that.
“Don’t worry about that, the laws of those people do not matter here. If they would I could certainly not talk to you now. The American government would have brought me to new Alcatraz the moment they got the chance. After all I am the one they think to be Truth.”
She sits down and continues.
“But here we all are just normal people. Costa Rica has a high population of mutants. Many are refugees from other countries. You will be attending the San Graciano-college in the city, over one quarter of the students there are mutants. But you are not here to flee from your homes to live in another country. At least not all of you I assume. You will learn control of your powers here at the institute so that once you are finished here you can choose your own path, be it to return home and simply continue to hide your power or try to fight for your own freedom. In the end this is just about giving you a chance to learn who you are. You will be the first students here but I certainly hope you will not be the last.”
She stands up again.
“Now, Senior Kleinmaurer will show you your rooms. Take your time and pick a roommate for now. Dinner will be ready in one hour and I hope you will get to know each other there. Take your time to get fresh and drop your luggage till then, you can still decide about changing roommates after dinner. We will give you a tour of the facility afterward. If you get lost or have any other questions concerning the building and your rooms just hit one of the phones in each room and floor and you will reach Truth, she will help you out. If you have any other questions you can ask me anytime.”
