Up and Running

[x-gambit.livejournal.com]

Right, the office is up and running. Consider all the normal protocals in effect as usual.

The situation isn't good. Based on the reports from Adrienne Frost, Kyle Gibney, and the forensic teams at the scene, the car was hit by an explosive charge in the front, and everyone ambushed coming out of it. We know that Sabretooth led the attack, with a group of unidentified mutants, which likely means Magneto is on a recruitment drive for the Brotherhood.

It's also very unlikely that any of the people in the car survived. Unless they had a teleporter handy and a medical bay the level of Muir ready, the odds are very low that they lasted more than a few minutes past the injuries Frost saw inflicted on them. I'm not saying that it's impossible, but be prepared that this is probably not going to be a rescue plan when we find these batards.

The Brotherhood are now our top priority, but they are not our only priority. We still have a job to do, and we're not dropping everything for the sake of revenge. Each of you are still responsible for the network and the intelligence coming in. Anything on the Brotherhood, we expedite; consider yourself having a blank check and full latitude to follow up any leads. If Pete or any of the others are alive, we're going to find them. If not, none of the people responsible for this are going to get away alive.

I hate to be the one saying "Let us not assume they are dead -or- alive." but in eight hours, I've gotten exactly -no- consistent readings, neither for Pete nor Garrison and I know my precognition is working. Could Adrienne Frost's power be manipulated in some way to give her inaccurate information?

I am getting consistent readings for other people, and I have no reason to doubt the accuracy of those readings, although I can confirm at least one of them just to be sure.

Wanda, Angie and I are going to follow up our contacts in Europe as well as the stuff we were already working on with the occult network. We might even be able to get Farouk to use some of his connections to help out - a bit of quid pro quo, given he owes us for saving his arse in Paris.

And um, yeah. Sorry about the blackout.

Further details from Adrienne - Sabretooth sent the mansion a present. The comms from the mansion folks. She's read them, managed some details and she raised an interesting question - why take the bodies and not the parts? If they wanted to freak people out, wouldn't bodies do it better? Unless something got in the way. Sof? You got any guesses?

Remy, I gave Adri one of your secure numbers to give you details direct, in case we wind up out of contact out here. Try not to scare her off? She's a bit twitchy around men from what I've seen.

Got your number from Morgan. Comms Jay, Gar, and Dani were carrying showed up today in the mail. Read them. Wanted to keep you in the loop. I saw Creed carry the comms to a motel room. Didn't see the name but I'll track the linens I saw on the bed to find that out. No sign of anyone else- Creed was alone. He was laughing as he wrecked the comms. Mailed them through FedEx via motel staff, but I didn't see the employee. Sorry I don't have more. Thinking more clearly today but nothing important. Can't stop thinking awful thoughts, like wondering why rip off wings and arm and leave them at the crime scene? Sick.

Right, I'm off to check out one of the closer places Kurt gave us for Mystique. Bishop? You want to come with? You have a way with people, and I get the feeling that we're going to need to do some convincing.
