Update

The Professor, Hank and Moira are still working, but I figured I'd share some of the preliminary information so that the staff is in the loop.

Simply put, Jono exploded. He is now a largeish ball of psionic energy floating in what's left of the boiler room. According to Charles, he's still conscious and responsive. He just no longer has a body.

I typed that, and I still had to stop and do a double-take...

He seems to be stable in that form for now. Charles doesn't believe there's any risk of further explosions, but he's not being definitive about much else just yet. Still rather early, I suppose, although I'm sure he and Moira and Hank will have more news for us soon.

Nathan was caught in the explosion and is in the medlab. Apparently it happened during one of their powers-training sessions. I'm not sure just how much information we're going to be able to get out of him - Madelyn was muttering something about a concussion when I checked on him.

I think I'll leave it to Charles to make a more detailed announcement of Jono's condition to the school once he's ready to do that. If you could all just do your best to field any worried kids for now... I think that's about all the rest of us can do at the moment.
