THE NEOHUMANS - ISSUE#1 - Dor'aan and S.On.N.Y.
WAR'S UNWOMANLY FACE
Late night, small room, small talk, some brandy, some chess. These types love to flaunt. Around the table, nothing like those old, tired professors that usually crowd the halls of Nouveau University. Not this time anyway.
Agnes Mouffe, around her fourties, presides the meeting. The young adjunt's responsible for this. By her side, Donna Garrett sports a pair of lively eyes, checking Dor'aan and S.On.N.Y. with curiosity. She represents Nouveau's government in this meeting... And in many other occasions.
"Nouveau can't take the tension any longer" - it's Agnes that speaks first. "Miss Garrett's right. Our shelters are full, our docks, crowded... And amidst them we have metas. Plenty of them." - she takes a small silver case, opens it up and offers cigarrettes around.
Donna waves it away. "Law enforcement can'r hold on anymore. Things are escalading. Meta-human crime rates abound. We have three Tongs at war in Sunken Chinatown; the Corduroys hirering muscle from meta immigrants; more than one company engaging in illegal experiments. We need to take point in this. And that's why I called you here" - Agnes grunts at the observation. "We called you here. We think you two might help us find a solution - something we can present at the Development Summit next week."
[Welcome to City Nouveau... As meta-humans from around the globe arrive, tensions increase and danger lurks at every corner... You can roll insight or any knowledge appropriate to understand what's happening - as well as you role in it! DC 15]
