NEWS:
⊗ On Tuesday Vetinari is fast making moves to undo various legislations, causing a stir among those angry that someone has come to power with no say from them. Vetinari counters that the laws controlling X-Gene carriers were vague, and that he is simply putting things back the way they were and in a more defined manner. Various Pro-X-Gene papers write well supporting the age of Vetinari, however some call it the end of democracy.
⊗ On Thursday speculation over whether Vetinari is an X-Gene carrier comes to a head, with accusations being made that he has been planted by the Brotherhood of Mutants. Vetinari politely points out that if he had been, there are far worse things he could be doing.
⊗ Over the Weekend, players of MMORPG The World wake up to a surprise. It seems a graphical glitch of some kind gives all the characters afros. CC Corp is looking into the issue and will make a statement that gameplay is otherwise normal.
THE XAVIER INSTITUTE:
⊗ On Wednesday a strange light is seen in the sky, and although the media reports it as a meteor shower those in the institute know a little better. A small ship, appearing to be in trouble, is rescued via the combined efforts of Sanctuary and various institute Staff. Various refugees are taken in, the most vocal among them a scientist known as Tolian Soran who claims he needs to get back to his research as soon as possible. A staff meeting is scheduled for later in the week to discuss options.
⊗ Summer Holidays begin for students! Of course, a lot of Summer classes are being run. So don't think you're getting off that easily!
⊗ Summer holidays shenanigans!
THE BROTHERHOOD OF MUTANTS:
⊗ Magneto plays on people's fears this week by making grand speeches about the age of the X-Gene carriers, the superiority of mutants and how the time has finally come in which they will be recognised not as equals -- but as the next evolution of mankind.
WHAT WOLVERINE DID THIS WEEK:
⊗ Attends a football game and becomes embroiled in a very large fight while attempting to stop a very small one.
