[This is a weird one. People have definitely seen this girl around campus, for sure, but you ever get the impression there's just something... off? About her whole existence? Like she's not really there, just in your head? It doesn't help that the 'room' she's broadcasting from doesn't seem to exist in the whole campus...]

So I've been watching a lot of news lately... it was hard to watch news when I was with John, because he never really let us watch TV, and...

I have to admit, I'm afraid. I'm not really afraid of registering, I mean... Pretty much anyone can tell I'm a mutant. I can't really go out in public like normal people do. [But she looks normal? Weird feelings when you look at her too long aside.] But it's kind of about this Mutant Liberation Front and, you know... like... Ugh, this is hard to put into words.

What would happen if that war everyone's worried about happening won't be between the US and Genosha but... more like a civil war right here? Between mutants and humans.

[It's starting to feel more and more real every day.]

Maybe it's teenaged arrogance, but I'm not exactly worried about that. This place is a fortress. And I have the power to run it like one, if we have to.

[sugoooi]

What do you mean...? [ She can't really mean a full-out fortress, right? ]

[no_girl]

You didn't know?

This facility has some of the highest end defense technology going.

[sugoooi]

I knew we had a secret base underground...but I didn't think the whole thing was like that!

[no_girl]

They haven't been online since the rebuilding. Xavier hoped he wouldn't need them. But there's a whole slew of above-ground defense systems that can be used. I can't really talk about them over the internet, of course.

[sugoooi]

Oh! Right, I got it... That's so cool though!

[no_girl]

Wicked cool. I can't believe Professor Xavier lets me have a connection to them, but I guess if anyone's qualified for the job...

[sugoooi]

A connection? Like through your computer?

[no_girl]

Yep! I'm directly linked to the Institute networks. Mind you I don't have access to everything, but I can help next time the school is directly attacked far faster than any normal person can.

[sugoooi]

Wait, "next time"??

[no_girl]

Er.

Well IF there's a next time, anyways. [Statistically speaking, tho...]

[sugoooi]

Do you guys get attacked often, or....

[no_girl]

Well.

I mean, think about it. What the school is and what it represents. And all that.

[sugoooi]

Yeah but no body said anything about getting attacked all the time during the tour!

[no_girl]

I didn't say all the time!

[sugoooi]

Well you're making it sound like it...

[no_girl]

Listen, just... [She rubs her temples.] It kind of comes with the territory. But you're safe. That I can promise. You can hold me to that.

[sugoooi]

Okay... [ he doesn't sound entirely reassured, but there's a sort of wary acceptance to his tone anyway. ]
