Good, now, go find me someone to  beat. 

I've been to see Emma.  An exercise in frustration, as bloody always.  Still, at least she's never tried to have me killed, which makes her unusual among my exes.

Actually, I tell a lie, she has, but it was just business, and it all got sorted out.

They caught her on the hop.  That's the short version.  It's not worth the details.  She knows how pissed off everyone is.  She's not a lot happier herself, although her reasons are a bit different.  You can imagine how the conversation went.

Summers is right.  We keep the kids away from HFC events - the threat level is too fucking high.  Beyond that, we sit on our hands for now, no matter how much I personally want to tear them down and sow the ground with salt.

Emma and I talk every so often anyway, we'll keep on doing so. It won't raise suspicion, and they probably won't reflexively assocaite me with Xavier's - Emma and I have been working together in one way or another for a few years.  I'll pass on anything I hear that might strengthen her hand, but beyond that, there's nothing we can do right now that doesn't put the kids in the firing line.  If we're really bloody lucky, we might get a bit or warning if anything else is coming down the line.

As for Nate's old pals - god knows, the idea appeals on a purely personal level - I'm every bit as fucked off about this as you are old son - but I don't see the virtue in showing even part of our hand.  If and when we hit them, it has to be hard enough to drop them for good.  Fucking them up for the sake of it is just going to show them where to tighten their defenses, and it'll be all the harder a second time around.

Going Out

I'm just off out for a quick word with Emma. Call me if their condition changes.

I spoke to Amanda this morning and got what details she was able to give me. It's not much, given what she was drugged with, but in this case I don't think the fine details are as significant as the consequences.

She and Manuel attended a function at the Hellfire Club last night. While they were there, Selene and Alphonso de la Rocha apparently decided to... alter Manuel, somehow. This seems to have involved rewriting his mind, as Madelyn said in her last post. Charles will be working with him, of course, and we'll keep the staff updated on his condition. Amanda wasn't clear on what part she had in their plan; she recalls speaking to Alphonso and believes that he was the one who drugged her. She doesn't recall being assaulted.

I'm going to have to wait until Dr. Strange has weighed in on exactly what happened, I think, before we have a clear idea of how Amanda got the two of them out of there and whether there will be any consequences. Something similar to what happened during the attack at Columbia seems to have taken place, the body-jumping for lack of a better word - their link at work again - and she managed to drain enough power from Selene to teleport them out of there and back here.

That's all I've got for now. Obviously we're going to be looking into this further, to see if we can figure out why Selene and de la Rocha did this and what to expect now.

The one thing I'd ask is that you all exercise discretion with the students. I have no intention of announcing any of this on the journals. If they ask, Manuel and Amanda were in an accident and are being seen to. Once Manuel's condition is a little more stable we'll obviously have to say something further, but the constant stream of 'So and so have managed to mangle themselves in such and such a way' is getting increasingly unproductive, as far as I'm concerned.

Long night.

Manuel de la Rocha: Physically, he's relatively fine. He's been drugged - blood tests show traces of Thorazine, which I'm guessing was used to counteract his powers. Some signs of neurological burnout, similar to what we've seen in Amanda when she's over-powered; nose bleeds, sensitivity to light, etc. Headaches, probably, when he's conscious. He'll probably be asleep a while longer, but I'm not sure how long. Mentally... from what Nathan was able to tell me, his mind's been essentially stripped of most strong emotions, and the memories associated with them. He remembers his first name only, and not a lot else. Just how much we'll have to determined when he wakes up. His power's also been burned out - possibly a temporary thing, like Shiro, but it's difficult to tell at this stage.

Amanda Sefton: Someone - or multiple someones - took a lot of care and time to basically beat the crap out of her. Nothing broken, although her ribs will probably be a bit tender for a few days, multiple contusions and bruises, some abrasions. No sign of anything beyond the physical assault - my guess is the culprit/s didn't want to risk leaving behind any physical evidence. There's traces of Rohypnol in her system; it's unlikely she'll remember a lot of what actually happened. A few weird readouts from the neurological workup I did, which I'm guessing are magic-related - someone ought to contact that tutor of hers. She'll be out for a while longer: Scott, when she's awake, I'll let you know, since I'm guessing any kind of debriefing is going to have to come from her, since Manuel is definitely not remembering anything.

From what Angelo told me about what he saw, it was Manuel that teleported them back, through some kind of magical means. Someone got an explanation for that?

Crap

I need one of the telepaths down to medlab now. I've got Manuel and Amanda down here, much the worse for wear - they've been out, obviously, and someone's definitely taken exception to them. Manuel's EEG is reading very strangely, and I think there's some sort of neurological damage, but if one of the psis could take a peek, see if there's something I'm missing, I'd be grateful.

Further update when I have more.
