[Warren is the first to arrive. The expression on his face can only be described as 'steely,' a sort of calm hiding a near unstoppable rage. His fists are clenched hard enough to bruise]

[Leela runs in a few minutes after Warren, looking a bit disheveled]

[deep breath]

I've notified all the students that they're confined to the building until further notice.

[really anxious look at Warren]

[ Aaaand actually relatively on time, your Chief of Security. Who is not exactly amused either. He's simmering. ]

I've pulled security footage.

[ He says by way of a start, leaning on the back of an empty chair instead of sitting in it and glancing around at everyone else. ]

moneybagsiii April 12 2010, 18:24:25 UTC

And?

[WHO TOOK MY BABY BOY yeah patience is for squares]

leastmutated April 12 2010, 18:39:45 UTC

[gives Warren a Look]

You shouldn't be here.

moneybagsiii April 12 2010, 18:41:07 UTC

[glares at]

Why the fuck not?

fairerthandeath April 12 2010, 18:43:43 UTC

[ Glances between Leela and Warren. ]

Can we focus a second?

[ Aaand carries on. ]

Unmarked swat teams. Armed, well trained-- tranq guns, chloroform, assault rifles.

[ Screw all this reticent blending in crap, he frowns at the world map display and it vanishes for a moment, cycles through various files quickly before bringing up a still of one of the swat teams. ]

I've been through a few, none of them have any identifying patches to connect them to anything. But they knew what they were after, and somehow they knew the institute well enough to know how to get it.

Not the Brotherhood, then. Thank you, John.

[nods at him]

leastmutated April 12 2010, 18:52:48 UTC

Do you think Baelheit could be behind this?

[pauses for a second]

And I'm sorry, but I really think Warren is too close to this to be safely involved.

[looks at Storm and Shep for backup]

[ Glances between Leela and Warren again. Awkwarddddd... Continues to ignore the argument going on around him. Chief of Security here, guys, and Self Defense teacher and several of his class are gone. Heavy sense of responsibility. Carry on regardless... ]

Why leave Milly?

[ Thinks a second, then-- ]

None of the footage suggests the swat team was anything out of the ordinary. Well trained, sure -- aware of exactly what to expect, yes. But...

[ Hesitates-- ]

These guys alone, I could take out. No obvious mutations. What worries me more is how they knew so much.

[GOD CAN WE NOT GO FIVE MINUTES AROUND HERE WITHOUT SHIT LIKE THIS no we can't hi guys]

It wasn't Baelheit. There's no reason - all the trouble we're going to be getting from him for a while will be legal. [doesn't sit down just STANDS THERE AND FROWNS]

What worries me is that some of the kids who aren't missing are going to go missing if we don't make sure they don't do anything stupid.

callmedora April 12 2010, 20:42:34 UTC

[Stumbles into the room and takes a seat. She's not as up to date on things, so she'll just sit here and listen. For now.]

dustsrobots April 12 2010, 23:18:35 UTC

[Stands stoically beside the head of the table, having ensured that everyone has a proper drink]

Might I suggest that providing the young ones with a way to assist the efforts that does not put them in a direct danger might be best, at least for discouraging the less personally invested students. Our young men and women all have good hearts, it is only natural they wish to help their friends, we should channel that desire into constructive avenues.

willharangueyou April 12 2010, 23:21:40 UTC

[ Finally slips into the room, a little uncertaintly, taking a seat next to Tonks. ]

ultimate_flame April 13 2010, 00:36:05 UTC

[Slips in after Pepper and nods his head in apology. Traffic had been a bitch to get there.]

[His face is gravely displeased though it's not at anyone in the room. He sits down in a seat close to John.]

meester_kennedy April 13 2010, 00:39:33 UTC

[More bursting in. His srs face is on. He goes to chill with Sheppard.] They're good. Better than most military forces I've seen. I have a contact that may have more information. If we talk to her, she might be able to tell us who's been in the area.

But we have to do it quick. [Does he seem like he knows more than he's saying? His conversation with Naruto not long ago still has him on edge.]
