The X-Project

I'd like to officially welcome our newest trainee, Pinball, to the X-men. 

Welcome to the team.

Just a notice to let you all know that Korvus has decided to apply tp join the team as our newest trainee and has been accepted.

Welcome to the team Korvus.

He'll need a trainee name so lets hear your suggestions guys.

What with the events of the last few weeks, certain small niceties have dropped by the wayside. Understandable, but a shame, and I may be heading out of town shortly, but I wanted to rectify the lapse before I did.

We have a number of new trainees to welcome aboard. Marius, Jennie, Kyle, Janet, and Forge will be working with us. I'm sure you'll all make yourselves available to answer any questions they may have, and as training partners when I do get a new rotation drawn up.

For our new trainees - you now have full access to the database, including all of the training material and past missions. I'd suggest reading everything you can get your hands on, for a better understanding of what we do around here. One note, though - it's not kind to mock the follies of your elders. Some of us have heard all too many jokes about quicksand and coatracks and the like.

And on that note... trainee names, anyone?

... given that they're still almost certainly recovering from last night's celebration, I still figured a preemptive strike on the issue might be... well, funny.

Since they're both now graduates of this fine institution, Terry and Clarice are both now officially X-Men trainees. So let's roll out the red carpet and dub them with appalling nicknames before they wake up and can defend themselves, shall we?

Clarice has decided that she'd like to 'give the leather thing a try', in consultation with her father and the Professor. Since she's not of age yet, her training for now's obviously going to be restricted to learning more about what precisely it is that we do, plus stepping up her powers training and getting her into the gym on a more regular basis.

I expect those of you trainees who are in full training will do your best to educate her as to exactly what that would entail once she turns eighteen. And to give her a really appalling trainee name.
