<Dragon> Reporter> Hours ago, the government sponsored mutant team known as X-Factor went rogue, turning on several FBI agents including FBI Commander Smith...
<Cryz> Mutant attack on the President? ::blinks::
<Bloodshadow> they havent seen a problem yet ...... let me show dem a problem .....

<Bloodshadow> ::::Looks to Dragon :::: think yer Government will let her live?
<Bloodshadow> with what she knows
<Cryz> Now what do we do? Where do we go?
<Dragon> I... think they will. They probably won't let her talk for quite a bit, because she knows the truth. It depends on who's got her... ::sighs::
<M3`> Shouldn't we go get her So she can tell the truth?
<Dragon> ACTION> DRAGON BRINGS UP AN OLDER NEWS REPORT IN ANSWER TO CRYZ'S QUESTION, WHICH SHOWS THE REPORT OF THE ASSASINATION ATTEMPT ON THE PRESIDENT

<M3`> Okay "just Dragon" ::tries to break the tension with a nervous laugh::
<Dragon> It looks like we're going to need somewhere to go, for awhile at least, yes...
<Bloodshadow> ::::: sits down in a seat and looks out the window mumbles ::: i say we show dem a mutant problem .....
<Dragon> Sophia can keep anyone and everyone else out of the base, unless they try to simply blow it up. But i dont' think they'll do that.. it would be too hard to explain.
<Cryz> ::gets up and walks to the pilot's console and begins punching in coordinates:: Sophia, take us there.
<Cryz> ::goes and sits down::
<Dragon> SOPHIA> Oregon, huh? Never been there. ::makes the jet circle to the west::
