Bomb makers

Seems like the we caught a bit of a break: The US government caught a Preserver bomber the other day.

Here's where it gets interesting: according to Nate, the reason there was no explosive residue at the blast sites is that the explosions seem to have caused (assuming that this guy is the same as the others, anyway) by mutants losing control of their powers. Not just in the usual teenage early-manifestation way, though. There's another mutant out there who is able to cause other mutants to build up to some kind of explosive power discharge, with fatal consequences for them and large chunks of the nearby population.

This happened to the guy they caught, too. Jean Grey got what little info we have from the bastard's brain, shortly before he went critical. This had just happened when Nate dropped me a line and he'll pass along anything more once everything is a little calmer.

Unwilling biological suicide bombers. That's elegant. Just walk in for an appointment and go off. No wonder there were no leads at any of the sites. Any information about the hierarchy of these guys come through?

And if they're just off the street, we won't have anything on any of the terrorist group databases... *thunks head* No wonder we've been chasing our tails.

That makes me feel -marginally- better. I'm attempting to ignore the little voice that tells me I still should have been able to discern some kind of pattern.

Nate's just forwarded me Jean's full report. It's on the server now.

Oh my God. They were recruiting at my club.

Are any of your regulars missing?

How many have something they do that can explode?

Or is it that whoever this is can make any mutant explode?

It's too early to tell. I didn't notice them until Saturday, and the next prime clubbing night isn't until tonight. You Goddamn better believe I'll be looking out.
