The X-Project

As I'm typing this I'm actually on my way to England with the hope I'll be spending the holiday with my family. I do apologize for the rather short notice. My mind's been slightly preoccupied these last few months and I've let things slip. However, as I've never been comfortable with goodbyes, it's only just as well.

I don't plan to be gone too long after the New Year but I can't guarantee when I'll be able to return. There are some matters that need tending to and with the delicateness needed in handling them, it's hard to estimate my actual return date. For now, I'll keep you all apprised if plans do indeed change, but until then......

I wish the lot of you a very Happy Christmas and a splendid New Year.

It's four in the morning. And I just spent the weekend, helping our soon-to-be newest addition, make himself presentable for the rest of you.

It's the pet project I never had as a child.

For the rest of you, we should be arriving shortly. And from what I can tell on the journals, I'd like you all to play nice with Remy. He hasn't had the best year and I've given him my word that he would be treated well.

Don't make me a liar.

I have homework assignments for the remainder of the week for all of Professor Summers courses. Please find the time to come to my office today and pick up your assignments. The deadline for your work will be at the beginning of next week. So, I suggest you not use your free time lightly this week.

Also, Kitty, I would like to find some time to talk to you. If you have the time today, I'll be in my office till about five this evening and in my room afterwards.

I'm going to take the time and make this post for all those concerned for the children at Location #1.

Emma, Hank, and I woke up fairly late this morning and spent quite some time trying to contact the Academy. When the normal means proved fruitless, both Emma and I tapped into other sources.

Our laptops.

The sheer mass of emails stored from last night to this morning sent Emma careening through the halls, out of the hotel, and racing to the children. I've never felt such ferioucness from her, it was overwhelming to say the least. Hank had to help me keep up as we headed for the limo.

When we arrived, Emma blasted through the lobby doors. We found an extremely haggard Warren sitting in the lounge and Allison talking to the concierge with a food order. They both hadn't slept. But, sleep-deprived is better than injured. Allison filled us in on most of the details. And God, there are children still missing.

I've tried to reach the Professor and the others, but they're too far away. I just can't believe all this happened and Emma and I hadn't sense anything.

So, we are here and Ms Frost has taken charge. She's constantly rechecking on all the children here. I hear her, running rampant through the floor, barking orders. I think the staff are alittle terrified of her, and they should be.

She's demanded medical care for x_siryn and she's pulled x_kitten away from the computer. Kitty won't be able to do much to the damaged comms, than she's already done. And I believe Hank has offered to return to the school. He simply can't find the cause for the disruption without checking the main system and no one knows if Kitty's jury rig will hold out. Already some of the older students have offered to accompany him, but Emma doesn't seem to keen on this idea.

For now, it appears we'll have to wait.
