With Mike Smith's blessings I am posting this to the forums.
What an interesting event!
I'm sorry for those people who couldn't make it, or had to come late, or leave early. The conclusion wound up slightly into my next plot-line which meant the conclusion wasn't so much a conclusion, but a pause.
For those who want a slight update of what is public knowledge of the world so far, I will do my best:
January 1st, 2000 at midnight of Y2K there was a slight black out on the eastern edge of Long Island.
During the Year of 2000, Mysterious drop in number of deaths and births, Reporter Scoop McPhearson of the Daily Ear breaks the story on Para-humans, coining the term, and becoming the leading reporter in the field.
Labor Day weekend 2000, Parahumans gather for a meeting on Gardiner's Island. All reports from the Island indicated chaos with only a few of the Parahumans like Paladin, and Mysteria coming forth for the protection of the innocents caught in the cross fire. The weekend ended dramatically with a nuclear strike on the Island, supposedly ordered by a government agent Stephen Dart, who just might have been involved in the mysterious disappearance of President Bill Clinton. Al Gore takes over the presidency.

It seems Calf Branding isn't all that's going on in Montana. A Parahuman Militia Group calling itself the Parahuman Peoples Front of Montana has taken over a local town and it's surrounding farms. Apparently the Leader of this Militia, who calls himself "The Brander" has declared Libby Montana under his 'Protection'. "We're just tired of Folk coming around and harrassing our fine folk here." says The Brander. Local police blotter reports no disterbences before this 'Hero' rose to power. The Police there have since been removed from power and The Brander's guards have taken over patroling the area, and collecting the new 'taxes'. When others in the town were sought for their opinions, this reporter was told it wouldn't be safe to have an opinion out there. - by Helandrea Troius

The children of Libby Montana stand by to salute the flag of the United States of America! Thanks to the efforts of the People's Parahuman Peoples Group (Often called P3 here in their home city of NYC) "The Brander" of Parahuman Peoples Front of Montana has been captured and placed in the hands of the Federal Agents of the PHA (Para-Human Agency). The Mayor of Libby MT gave commendations to the members of P3, calling them all, true american patriots, and 'a credit to their kind'. It would seem to this reporter that while the Mayor of Libby is friendly to the parahumans, heck he'd even eat in the same restaraunt as them, he still bares the scars of the ordeal with 'The Brander'. - by Helandrea Troius

In a surprize swing, presidential canidate new-comer Senator Richard Gobb (Independent) has, by popular demand, officially entered the race for the President. The other two candidates, President Al Gore, who became president after the last President, Bill Clinton, disappeared, and Gorge W. Bush, son of past President George Bush, have been dead locked with many voters wondering which one they would least want, rather then who they would want. We all remember Sen. Gobb as the hero of Gardiner's Island, who was essential in restoring the peace, and bringing humans and para-humans together after the disaster PHA Agent Steven Dart brought down on the gathering. One voter was quoted as saying "We are in a time of terrible unrest, we need a true leader to bring us through to the new day that is dawning, we need a President like Richard Gobb.". -Helandrea Troius
October 17th Woman claims that her senses have grown so acute that she must constantly stay wrapped in a room of clean towels. "The dirt is just so overwhelming otherwise." It seems that not all parahumans look on their changes as a gift. "It's ruined my life, I can't go to work and can you imagine my laundry bill?" - by Helandrea Troius

Spokane Indians reclaim native lands It seems that Casinos aren't enough for the Child of the Sun. "Many years ago our lands, and the lands of other Native Peoples were taken from them. The lands we have left, as a token gift to ease their conscious, are continued to be spoiled by them. It is my intention that every full blooded Native be given his birthright, a nation free of the white man's corruption. Sun's first act as leader of the United Spokane Tribe was to burn the casino on their lands to the ground. "The gambling place is one of Their corruptions, we shall not abide it's presence on our lands. - By Helandrea Troius
November 5th With only two days left until election day, there seems little doubt that Sen. Gobb will take this election. Polls show that he has gained 42% of the vote, while Gov. Bush and Pres. Gore are both locked in at 26% each [Nader is trailing with only 5% of the votes]. There is no doubt that the work of P3, representing a positive face of Parahumans has done a lot to help the Senator's cause, yet some Parahumans like the Brander, and even Spokane, the Native American Chief driving corperate gambling institutions off his reservation, are causing quite a russle in middle America. No doubt that who ever is elected on November 7th, will have his hands full.
November 8th We can now officially refer to Richard Gobb as President-Elect Richard Gobb. The world will never know who would have gotten elected if Pres.-elect Gobb didn't make a surprize run at the office back in early October. Analysts can only guess that it would have been as close of an election as the Nixon-Kennedy election forty years ago. President Elect Senator Gobb has already begun putting together his presidental cabinet, and making plans to deal with the emerging prospect of parahumans.
Troubled? Hurt? Parahuman? We can help. Call P3 at 212-555-HERO. All calls are confidential. We aren't a legal agency, we are a friendly ear.
Novemeber 7th 2000, Hero of the Parahuman conflict on Gardiner's Island, Independent Senetor Gobb of New York becomes the first Independent President in a rare and overwhelming write in campaign
November 14th Wings of God - Parahuman Spirtuality? Unlike other "Warlords" like The Brander of Libby MT, Midnight Dove comes with a message of peace and love for all .... parahuman kind? Preaching that God has put us to a test, a test of temptation, and that to pass this test we must embrace our abilities, and imbrace the task before us. What is that task? "To remove sin from those who can't remove it themselves." Basing his new church, The Wings of God, in Cobden Illinios, Midnight Dove has attracted many parahumans who are lost with their new gifts. "It's not really about Catholic, or Protestant, or Jewish, or Moslem, or any other religion. It's about believing that there is a higher power out there, and they want us to make the world better, one person at a time." The influx of worshipors to Cobden quickly gained the political backing to make it's preaching into practicing. Says a local long time resident "I don't know, I've been a god fearing woman my whole life, but I don't remember where God said I had to wear black everyday." Currently the sentence for wearing any color but black in Cobden is 3 weeks in jail. - by Helandrea Troius
December 2000, Al Gore attempts to meet with the Para-humans in order to "build a bridge" and put our trust in "a Lockbox". The meeting is a disaster, the hotel winds up destoyed, and the CIA comes under attack by forces lead by someone known only as "The Mole" and a crazy robot.
January 2000, President Gobb swears in as President of the United States of America
Up to and including May 2000, As the Parahuman wave is sweeping across the world nations are finding themselves losing their grip on their populace. Super-Gangs are beginning to crop up in every nation, and the Para-race has begun in many nation's armies to combat it.
In America the Heroes of P-3, assisted by the fledgling forces of the Posh-9, are strained to quell the rising warlords, and organized para-crime that is across the nation. In Europe, a new organization of Para-do-gooders (by the name of Euro-X) rose from the impending chaos to lend a hand to the governments of the European Union. Across the Globe as those who would use their new powers for selfish greed or unscrupulous endeavors have risen, the governments have responded with either uncertain inaction, or heavy handed retribution.
In the 8 months since the first meeting of the Para-humans on Gardner's Island the world has slowly began it's decent into darkness, the Heroes fighting for the side of right find themselves resorting to vigilante justice to combat those who's powers are outside of the Law's understanding. Governments trying to stem the riots and devastation the newly powered criminal element has brought to their lands are enacting martial law in areas most affected.
Senator Reginald Emerald has proposed a Draft of all para- humans, and has been quoted as saying "If we're going to have all those high-powered freaks and weirdos around right? Well, we out to have them freaks and weirdos on our side." At this time President Gobb has stated he would not support any draft issue brought before him, not as long as the volunteer organizations and the current military and civil services were capable of handling the problems.
In France a new law forbidding students with Para-human abilities to enter a public school has caused outrage from the para- human sects. In Russia the communist party is making a strong move back towards an authoritarian government to deal with the para-human problem, when Vladimir Putin was questioned he had this to say. "It is integral that the Russian government do what is in the best interest of the Russian people. At this time we must not only secure the safety of our people from any para-human threat, but from other nations as well." Former Soviet Satellite States have protested this move and have begun to look to the west for protection from any Russian aggression.
In Africa, the Middle East, and South East Asia, many governments have toppled under the strain, unable to keep the factions at bay they have split up into warring tribal factions. China has reported that they have their para-human problem well under control. Sources claim that China's control includes joining the military. Failure to do so results in getting locked up or destroyed. Intelligence seems to indicate that Kim Jong il has been working on incorporating the para-humans into their military and might have his aims at reunifying Korea in the near future. Japan has been dealing with the issue in much the way of America. It is controlled, but not easily.
July 2001, A new Villian, Valance, or Vector, or Victor... reports of his name is conflicted... he kidnapped Chef Fusion, and made several demands. Fortunately the forces of PAX came to the rescue, and everyone's favorite Chef was rescued!
December 2001, The Serpents have taken over most of the Carribean Islands, with the exception of the Bahamas, the US Virgin Islands, and Peurto Rico. When PAX came to meet the Serpents they were forced by the UN to back down until diplomatic methods could be tried first, despite the rumor that a hotel in the Bahamas was destroyed by the Serpent's Forces.
Later that week, the Armed Forces in Guantameno Bay went missing. Followed later that day by about 50% of all the American Forces. While some were quick to blame the Serpents, they issued a statement that they were not responsible for any attacks on any Americans. Later they claimed they were being invaded themselves by forces from Columbia and Venesualla. Senetor Reginald Emerald once again called for a Parahuman draft, especially in light of the recent depletion of US Forces in these trying times. President Gobb has called for additional Volunteers from the Parahuman Community to create a Volunteer force directly under the control of the Executive Branch. The Senate protested that they should have review powers over this new para-military force.
