On your screens, the metal man appears, and says "Welcome to the Trust.  I am Mr. Grey, The Trustee.  I run the organization on behalf of its numerous anonymous benefactors, and keep the interests of these sponsors separated from the operations of the Trust.  We have chosen you from a vast array of possible heroes for this honor.  As an example of the resources that we have at our disposal, we have placed some files on your terminals (Mr. Grey's window shrinks to only include an eigth of the screen, in the top right corner).  These are YOUR files.  You are entitled to know what we have found about you so far."Paging through the documents, you find what could just as easily be a complete narrative of your lives.  Report cards, medical records, bank records, news clippings,  assorted photos, even files from government agencies, foreign and domestic.  They even have your AEGIS files (AEGIS is a federal agency in charge of fighting supercrime and tracking super-activity).  You are all relieved to find out that none of your AEGIS files include secret identities, they mostly track your supercareers and public activities, and in every case you are classified as Heroes (the classify supers as Heroes, Villains, Wildcards, and Inactives).  None of the foreign files have secret identities either, but in a couple cases there were some close calls your were not aware of when traveling abroad.  Not every country chooses not to actively seek to find supers' real identities."If you wish to leave, please exit the vehicle immediately, and tell no one of this.  If you wish to stay, you must go to the Oxodyne Corporation facility at the docks, and proceed to the basement.  Ms. White, our Director of Personnel, will meet you there, , and begin the next step in your initiation.You will find assorted equipment near your seats.  This is a standard starting package. One item of note is the weapon, which may surprise some of you.  In our experience, there are times when individuals such as yourselves either lack access to your powers or do not want to display them, and some of you have no other way of dealing with enemies at range.  Thus, this service pistol is issued to every Trust hero.  Another item of note is the iPhone.  This modified version has special encryption features, and can be used for receiving mission data.  It also includes two lines.  Use one for non-Trust business, and reserve the other for your hero identity only.The boxes in the back contains more technology, including surveillance equipment,  heavier weaponry, and utility items such as a fire extinguisher and some blocks of C4."</blockquote>
