You may have heard the Blackbird going out a few hours ago. That was Ororo going to Belgium to pick up Alison, myself, and a passenger. I know that most of you didn't know where we'd gone or why. Succinctly, we were trying to find and rescue an old colleague of mine from Mistra. He was there in Vermont at the place we found Kyle and the shock of what he saw there broke his conditioning. He ran, using one of the old exit strategies I'd implemented while I was Mistra's field commander. MacInnis - we all remember the old rat bastard, I trust - let me know and I went after him, with Alison since Foley's abilities are sonic-based.

It was more complicated than I'd hoped it would be. But we found him, and he's down in the medlab now. Will probably be there for some time. To reassure all of you, his powers are suppressed and he's in restraints. Not because he's a threat, but because he's a serious suicide risk. I've talked this over with the medical staff and Charles, and access to him is going to be restricted for the foreseeable future. Charles, myself, Alison, and the medical staff. No one else, and certainly none of the medlab helpers.

I know the kids were all up in arms about sharing information after what happened with LeBeau. I don't really give a damn about their likely reaction when Mick's up and around and they start wondering who he is. If any of you have a problem with him being here... I'd say talk to me, but I don't really want to hear it.

Oh, first of all, hey all. Rather nice to be non-amnesiac again.

Anyway. I think we should be implementing Maddie's mentorship idea. In the sneakiest and most informal way possible, of course, otherwise the kids will smell a rat and while the ensuing defensiveness might wind up being kind of entertaining in a perverse way, I think we could probably do without it. This is not me getting back in touch with my organizational self, by the way. I think we should each just choose a kid or two and have at it. Look for some kind of natural 'in', if possible.

Personally, I have at least two that I can think of right now. Doug would be an obvious choice for me, seeing as though I already told him we'd be spending a lot of time together - and the amnesia might have put me in a mellow mood, but there are still lots of workouts and plenty of research into things like how Kevlar actually works in Mr. Ramsey's future. I thought I might take a crack at the new kid, Forge, too, since I see he showed some interest in the contents of the garage.

If you really don't feel like you're up to this, don't feel obligated. If you try it and it doesn't work with your first target, try another. I don't think this can be forced on either side, or it really won't work. But Maddie had a good idea, and I think we should run with it and see what happened. Although we can't make them talk to us when they have problems, a certain level of obnxious persistence might serve to remind them that they do have the option.
