Sixth Haiku [Voice, Locked to X-Men and Staff]

This is the moment where we have to ask ourselves:

Is sheltering her worth the trouble? We're at a very real risk of making enemies of S.H.I.E.L.D., which could compromise the safety of a number of people here.

Perhaps we've let her borrow enough time. She got herself into this mess willingly, after all.

[He'll be the absolute last to suggest doing anything against Xavier's orders or behind his back -- but he's more than willing, at this point, to question the decisions that have been made.]

"Oh god, oh god..."

[The video turns on to reveal Jun wrapped up in so many blankets that one can only really see her face. And from the look of it, she's not handling the news well.]

"I knew I shouldn't have come here, I knew it."

[Is there a point to this video or is she just having a public panic attack via Internet.]

"W-what's going to happen now...? This school won't keep a terrorist...right?"

[Video]

[not_together_together]

[It's only video cuz she turned her webcam on entirely, rather than just the microphone.] Ohhh, is this why the school suddenly ramped up the call for X-Teams? We're gonna fight SHIELD? [Nora, you sound excited. Why.]

.... Aww, but I wanted to meet the Avengers, not fight them.

[Alric comes on the screen looking quite serious. He's in a pretty sharp dress shirt, as usual, but his expression is uncommonly stern--mostly pensive, but perhaps a bit cross, as well, and almost certainly more so than most of the school has seen him before. Except perhaps his opponents during sword matches, he does get a bit intense when he's fencing.]

I will assume we all have heard the news broadcast from Director Fury of SHIELD. I must admit it is not the source from which I would have expected or hoped to receive news of such an ultimatum. However, as there is seemingly a choice before us, I would ask to confer with all other student government officers. Given the limit on time, network responses will suffice. I suggest all students express their concerns to their respresentatives, first, but I don't intend to turn away anyone who feels they have something best said to me directly.

[He pauses a moment, glancing down, out of frame, then back to the camera again, his expression at least somewhat softened.]

The decisions we make will obviously have repercussions and broader ramifications for many of us, and depending on the events of the next several days, perhaps nationwide or globally. This being said, I ask only that we all proceed with forethought, integrity, and good will--for our fellow students, and the way in which coming events will reflect upon human beings of all categories, whatever abilities they may have or lack.

I will propose at the outset that, should negotiations with SHIELD fail to materialize or otherwise break down, those students who cannot fight or wish not to be provided shelter, and protected by a team or teams prepared to focus solely on ensuring those students' safety. Should we decide we must make a dangerous stand, those who came here for safety and learning should not pay the price of our choice.

I have high hopes that the faculty will be receptive to our concerns in this matter, and I will make every effort to reconcile our diverse perspectives in as satisfying a manner as possible.

Thank you for your time.
