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.

September 12th, 2000

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.

September 19th, 2000

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'.

October 5th, 2000

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?"

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.

In case it was not mentioned, Vector will find that at the Serpent base, the chair he most often uses is utterly destroyed and a note is tacked to the wreckage saying "To Victor: Best regards AF1"
