[QUOTE="Agamon, post: 1460385, member: 184"] "There won't be any 'plumbing', Tyrone, don't worry," Agent Bowlen says with a smile. "Great, then, let's get started," Agent Howe says. Each of you are taken into a side room where you are asked how you were abducted, what types of tests you endured, and how you escaped. Aaron is not questioned, as he is a minor and does not have his parents' permission. Also, they insist on leaving Jaya until last. Jaya enters the interrogation room, leaving the rest of you to wait for the process to end in the lobby. Neutron did his best to create a set of clothes for Max. They ended up a bit on the big side, but are a lot better than the blanket. Jersey Devil, reading a National Geographic, puts it down and looks over at Screaming Eagle, who is simply quietly staring out the window as she sits. "Hey, Eagle," Devil calls out. She turns her head and looks at him. "Hmmm?" "Maybe you should fill them in before they leave..." She blinks. "Well...it's not a sure thing." "Still not a bad idea to bounce it off them, though, right?" "Yes, I guess so." She stands up and looks everyone over. "I have to admit," she says, addressing all of you, "that was really good work you people did out there. We could have had a real disaster on our hands, but you did more than your fair share to help avert it. The manner in which you conducted yourself at the farm and the hospital was also commendable, despite where you had been and what had been done to you. I'm sure it was difficult to trust anyone, but you did the right thing. "My point is this: next week, I am to report to a congressional committee a list of names of elites that I believe would make good candidates for a second government sponsored team. With your permission, I would like to add each of your names to the list." Frowning a bit, she looks at Aaron. "Well, most of you. Aaron, I'm afraid you are too young to be placed on such a team. And even if the decision was up to me, I've already spoken to your parents, and they have forbid it. I've recommended to them that they send you to one of United Nations' new elite training facilities, where you can learn to use your abilities and attend school. They said they would think about it. "Now, the thing is, this is only a recommendation. The senators on the committee are the ones to decide who actually will be on the team, so the point may be moot. However, because BioGen was operating out of a government facility, I'm sure they would be keen on saving face towards both you and the public by making a gesture such as accepting you onto the team. That's just a guess on my part though. What do you think?" [/QUOTE]
