The X-Project

Okay. I just finished up with Jennie, and the professor's wrapping up with Kyle.

The kids should be okay. There were no major complications, at least of the brain sort. We're not sure yet, but if we're really lucky they may get out of this without a lot of conscious memories. I have a bad feeling they're going to be looking at some nightmares, though. Marie, could you and Dani keep an eye on them? And their suitemates? You can send them to me or Charles, too. It's just something to watch out for in the next couple weeks.

I need to call some parents and go compare notes with Dr. Samson. Could somebody relay this to Nate and Moira so Nate doesn't have an excuse to check his computer on his anniversary, please?

All right. I need help. The kids' morale right now is . . . not so good. I mean, Angelo had to talk Yvette out from under her bed the other day. That sums up the atmosphere pretty well.

We need to do something for them, but I don't know what. Keeping them informed helps, but it only does so much. Especially when we don't have much to pass on. They need a distraction. Not "don't pretend this isn't happening," but "this is what's going on, but we're in it together." Something to do with themselves and their teachers besides sit and wait.

Does anyone have any ideas? Anything?
