There are things we need before we can even consider rescuing any of them.

Information, primarily speaking.

Now I don't care where it comes from or how it was obtained, I just need every scrap of information anyone has on this situation. Perhaps it's not much on an individual scale, but compiling everything into one source may grant us more insight.

I've gone ahead and created such a document, though it is locked down for security reasons- as all informative responses to this should be. I've granted some individuals access, and will continue to do so as I sort through responses. Everyone with access will have the ability to add their knowledge to it, as well as share the document with others. Moderately complex perhaps, but it's an attempt to keep the information leaks to a minimum.

There's not much there at the moment, as it only reflects my observations so far, but collaborative discussion of course is highly encouraged. I will store frequent back-up copies in case of error.

((ooc: As the Gdoc is open to everyone, feel free to assume access- or don't, if you want your character to badger him about it instead.
Update: This post and the attached document are now under Qubit's qgeocrypt so that only devices inside the US will be able to access them. This means all captives have been locked out!))

I can shapeshift. Gills are easy, and changing my skin is too. The biology to handle pressure would be simple enough to shift.

I can manipulate air and water as well. I don't keep it a secret, really... But I never like to announce my abilities openly on the network.

I know someone that would be fascinated by those capabilities.

Understandable. I haven't had reason to share mine until quite recently myself. But those abilities will prove highly useful if we find the captives are indeed kept somewhere beneath the ocean. We have teleporters and portals, so getting you there shouldn't prove difficult once we locate them.

By shapeshifting? I think it's a really cool ability, but it's not as interesting as a lot of others.

I can control around 1,250,000 litres of water at most - half of an Olympic sized swimming pool. Depending on how deep the facility is - if it is underwater - I could use both of my skills to get everyone out that way if it becomes necessary.

He's a biologist.

But I will keep in touch, then. Should we confirm them to be underwater, I will certainly contact you.

Ah! I haven't met any biologists here yet. Lots of engineers of different types and physicists, which is nice because I'm good at those things too! But the biology teacher at Xavier's isn't good enough. [ HE SEES YOU POKING AROUND, CALLAGHAN. HINT HINT NUDGE NUDGE GET A BETTER BIOLOGY TEACHER FOR MR. SUPER COMPUTER BRAIN HERE. ]

Thank-you mister - doctor? - Gottlieb.

[ he does a good job of pronouncing Hermann's surname, though it definitely has more of a Russian accent than German. because Akito doesn't know German ~~yet~~. ]

Unfortunately, I don't think Dr. Geiszler has any interest in teaching. But he may not mind if you come by the lab once everything has settled.

Un, I figured! If your friend had wanted to teach he would have been teaching already, ne?

Yes. He did teach for some time before, but found himself rather more interested in research.

Un, research is definitely more interesting. When things are back to normal I'll have to ask him to look over the work I was doing on a method to create more varieties of dextro-amino based foods.

I'm sure he'll be fascinated.

Un... But only after.

[ after all of this craziness and bullshit. ]

If I find out anything useful I'll let you know.

Yes, of course.

[After all, Newton is currently being held captive s o]
