Post mission

[xp_cyclops]

We've all been back and had a chance to recover and recuperate I wanted to do a post mission debrief and let everyone know hat happened. 

We ended up running into some old friends, Wade and Laurie. Also several Marauders who we thought were dead but apparently aren't.  

It was a lot to handle, multiple different events hitting all at the same time and I'm really proud of how everyone here and in the mansion at a whole responded to this.

Forgive me for using my old access to address this here, but I wasn't sure where else to put it:

Arthur Centino is going to need additional assistance with his recovery.

When I take marrow it depletes the donor's physical reserves and natural immune response. In most cases full recovery is achieved within a few days, but if you then become ill or injured you're starting below par. Without appropriate medical support you can end up in a very deep hole indeed. At the very least a compromised immune system will leave him especially vulnerable to opportunistic infection.

Whilst my own preference for such situations is to simply borrow a healing factor I appreciate that this option is not available to everyone. I don't suppose anyone happens to be in contact with a healer? I know Clarice is on holiday, but they needn't even come here in person; that is a powerset with which I have had previous experience, and if they're willing to send a blood sample I can simply copy it. I will happily cover the cost of venipuncture and expedited shipping.

X-Force: regarding France

[xp_cypher]

I received a text from Maya, with a yellow post-it note that was apparently put into her boot during the battle with the Marauders...and Wade Wilson.

I've taken some time to look at footage of the battle in France. As best as I can put together, this 'En Sabah Nur' that turned Marius Laverne into his Horseman of Death also may have managed to get hold of Wade. He was released against the festival to kill and cause mayhem as a decoy and distraction from Clan Akkaba's true goals.

I suppose the saving grace is that Malice and the Marauders bit on the fake as well.

It would appear that the reason that I have not been able to find Wade recently in searches is that he has taken to wearing a red-and-black bodysuit with full facial coverage. Whatever has been done to him has clearly amplified nearly everything about him - for instance, he took damage that in the past would have rendered him unconscious while his healing factor kicked in, and just got right back up to keep fighting.

The most troubling aspect of this, though, is that when he put the post-it (which is a message to myself and Marie-Ange) in Maya's boot, there is a moment where he clearly recognizes her and stays a more lethal attack, which suggests that under whatever insanity has been induced in him by this, there is still a part of him that is the person we knew before.

I will make all the video and my notes available to all for analysis - I know I'm not exactly an unbiased observer where Wade is concerned.

Topaz is bringing noodles, and then I am probably going to resort to whatever will let me get some sleep tonight.
