After their final screening, each of the metas were directed to a small conference room.   It had a beautiful view of the harbor and a the sun setting over the horizon in the west...

"We had thirty-five considerations.  Ten made it to simulation stages.   I'm told that some of you have worked together and have a history together     I'd like you to take a little bit of time to get to know each other.    We don't do secret identities here.  You're welcome to maintain the secret in public--in fact we can help in ways you might no be aware we can.   But if you're going to operate as a team, you need to be able to trust each other.

The reality is that five years ago, there was an event, here in Emerald City.  They call it the Silver Storm.  a biological agent that may trigger metahuman eruption was released during that event.    Since that time, Emerald City has had sporadic clusters of such eruptions.   We've been able to tamp down much of the media coverage, but statistics don't lie.

Your goals are two-fold.  You are Emerald City's representatives.   You are to protect the city.  But also, you are to seek out and tend to those who may be newly erupted.    You're not babysitters.  I'm not asking you to take them under your wing and teach them.  This isn't the movies and you're not the 'academy for the suprisingly gifted.'  Just, protect the people.  And if we make progress towards identifying the source of Emerald city's metahuman eruption... quality, so much the better.

On occasion, we may need to deal with legal and political ripples from your activities.  That's where I come in.    While you have my sanction, you are an autonomous team funded and assisted by Aegis.   We will assign casefiles, but there is nothing to prevent you from taking on your own cases.  I will expect to be kept in the loop, as I cannot provide legal and technical support without knowing what's going on.    I am answerable to the United Nations Council on Metahuman Affairs.

If you'll turn to the second document in your package, you'll find the contract you've negotiated.  Please take it, review it, and returned it--signed-- within three days.  At that point, the offer of employment will be revoked.

For now, I've booked suites in your name at The Crown Tower Hotel.   They have several special services for metahumans.  Do mention my name and your discretion will be assured.
