XP Teams - X-Men, X-Force, X-Factor, and others

Hello, Tuesday. You feel like a Monday and I do not approve.

In necessary updates:

We've had a few quiet missions over the last month, but nothing exciting beyond what was in the mission reports. Dealing with the construction crew demoing while attempting to go on the missions was the most hectic part and I'm not sure that made it into the reports, though.

Thanks to everyone who played distraction by bringing down "catered" lunches for the crew to get them out of the way. Your assistance was/is much appreciated and if you'll let me know your favorite liquor, I'll leave a bottle outside your door sometime in the coming week.

Also, thank you to all the senior members of the teams and medical for coming around to check over the final blueprints for the renovations to the Chapel. Your input was seriously helpful and we managed to work in most of the suggestions for security as well as containment of potential hostiles, isolation suites in case of another exposure to an exotic virus/bacteria/illness of some kind, and managed to figure out the underground tunnel situation. You're all amazing.

Coffee's on me at the next information exchange/update.

In light of the recent, thankfully non-fatal, outbreak of an interdimensional virus here at the mansion as well as it's uncontrolled spread beyond the Chapel and the MedLab, eXcalibur is going to be shutting down the majority of non-essential work that goes on in the Chapel while we plan and then begin renovations to increase safety and security for the team as well as the mansion at large.

To that end, all scientific experimentation, lab work, studies, etc will be carried out in the mansion's main labs and we will be transitioning our offices into the branch of the mansion currently housing the Xavier Institute. Personnel in the Chapel will be kept to a minimum (ie: only the person monitoring the wormhole) while construction is underway. This will, of course, be temporary, however, please keep our new locations in mind should you have need of any of us.

The Xavier Institute has been kind enough to hire the same construction company that managed the Chapel's first set of major renovations for what we have coming up next. These new renovations will include an increase in security around the portal (threat analysis, containment, etc) in case someone or something drops out of the portal (like April did) as well as beefed up biological protective measures beyond those currently utilized in the mansion.

The spread of the Chimera virus highlighted the need for eXcalibur to have its own decontamination system along with isolation and quarantine protocols. We were lucky. Very lucky. Everything turned out fine, everyone got their powers back, and nobody died. We might not be so lucky next time.

The renovations are also going to include negative pressure rooms to combat airborne pathogens, quarantine pods, specific isolation procedures, and a miniaturized medical station that can be manned by any medical staff available and capable of assisting with any injuries sustained during the course of an away mission. This will prevent eXcalibur from having to go through the mansion with an injured, potentially infectious teammate.

If you have questions, suggestions, or concerns regarding what happened with the Chimera virus or eXcalibur's plans to continue renovating the Chapel to meet the team's specific needs, please let me or someone else on the team know. We want to make sure that we're as transparent about our intentions to keep everyone at the mansion safe as we can be.
