In case you're wondering...

... why we're not going anywhere yet, when it looks very much like they're dealing with a mutant manifestation over in Hawaii, it's because the President has specifically asked us to stay clear until the evacuation is done. He's avoiding any kind of military intervention until then, as well. This is not Smichov redux, folks - I happen to agree with him. It makes sense to avoid provoking another eruption until the civilians are clear.

So we'll hold off and keep an eye on the news. We'll need someone monitoring the newsfeeds 24/7, and as my wife has just reminded me, I can't take all the shifts myself. So, volunteers are welcome.

Lorna, settle down. I understand you're worried, but take your own advice. Go find something to do.

Garrison, as far as I know, Charles has been in touch periodically with someone - more likely Val Cooper than Fred Duncan - since we were asked to stay clear. The only redeeming quality of a situation like this is that the lines of communication stay wide open just in case they do want us in Hawaii promptly. It's just that there's not much to know at this point.

Your brother is missing! At least act like you care?

I think he cares, Lorna.

Just pointing out that we can be proactive without mucking about the field itself. Look, I come from a background that usually involves talking a guy with a shotgun to the head of a six year old girl down. A mutant with the power to crush a volcanic range is roughly in the same mental state. The more we can find out before hand, the better we're at if they ask for help.
