Good evening, everyone. I hope you're doing well.

If we haven't met before, I'm David Xanatos, founder and CEO of Xanatos Enterprises. I have a couple of things to discuss tonight, so please bear with me.

Firstly, I'm happy to announce that I've taken over the role of Director at Xavier's School for Imports outside of Heropa, filling a more financial-oriented role with the always-capable Robert Callaghan as Headmaster. Import youth of all ages who would like to learn more about controlling their powers or who simply want a student body filled with people like them are welcome to enroll at any time, and we're always hiring for teachers and staff positions.

Secondly, I'm looking for science-minded individuals to collaborate with myself and Tony Stark in the design and construction of a state-of-the-art, multi-billion-dollar research facility near De Chima. The sole stipulation is that any discoveries made there be made available for others to build on, for the advancement of all.

I'll be happy to take any of your questions in the meantime.

[ That earns a faint smile from Hiro, though his heart isn't in it. If he's going to do anything about Callaghan, he's clearly got to do it alone. ]

Would you go after him here?

[maglevflash]

If he's doing something again, then he has to be stopped.

However it's the same as back home. I know you're angry, and believe me after that? After what he said? I'm not too pleased either.

But we're doing it right. We'll make a plan and follow through. [She's not saying it, but she definitely doesn't want the island to happen again, and Hiro honestly looks that angry right now.]

[microbrobotics]

[ He definitely looks that angry. Feels that angry too, though it's quieted by now. He glares sullenly at the ground. ]

We can't just sit back and watch this time. It'll be too late if we wait.

[maglevflash]

You're right, but acting rashly is only going to get people hurt. He doesn't have your microbots this time. He has to wait too.

[She hesitates for a moment, and then.]

Do you want me to talk to Tadashi about what happened? You guys are supposed to spend the day together, right?

[microbrobotics]

[ Well that cuts through his anger pretty quick. He sucks in a breath hard and looks kind of stricken. ]

I - I don't know. I don't think he's gonna any more.

[maglevflash]

Nonsense! Tadashi loves you more than anything. Believe me. You were all he'd talk about at the lab. Of course he's going to want to spend time with you.

[microbrobotics]

You don't know that for sure!

[maglevflash]

I know that one hundred percent for sure. Scientifically proven, even. Honey'd say the same. He loves you, and I promise that even if he's upset right now, he will never hate you.
