It was always immaculately kept and now had about a hundred small chairs laid out to sit on, with a small wooden platform at the front and a microphone stand wired up. It was unassuming and restrained, making sure to avoid appearing imposing or too official. The idea was to come as a friend and do his best to dispel to the image of heartless government official. Fortunately it was a nice day, with the sun shining through the trees and making the grass almost glow in the light. David waited patiently seated until the students had assembled so he could talk to as many as wanted to hear what he had to say. And he had a lot to say, a lot was going to be accomplished today. Finally he looked over and saw Charles give him a little nod to confirm it had reached half past one, the appointed time that had been told to all of the students. He stood up and looked over the crowd with a softened expression. No need for any harshness here.<br/><br/><strong>"Hello, students and teachers of Charles Xavier's school. My name is David and the aim of this speech is to take the first steps in repairing the relationship between the Government and you. Not you as a mass, or a school or a group but you as each and every individual before me today and the thousands of others like you throughout America. I want to take a moment to tell you that despite my actions, and mistakes, my goal has never been anything but protecting the lives of the vulnerable. Until recently I failed to realise that each of you has vulnerabilities and fears just like the civilians I was attempting to defend. But now I know that nothing but the actions we commit defines who we are. And I am now admitting and accepting that my actions defined me as a heartless person."</strong><br/><br/>It hurt to accept his mistakes so publicly but he knew anything else would invite criticism and this would be the best possible shot at calming a crowd who were rightfully very against him.<br/><br/><strong>"And so in the spirit of this we have several new rulings designed to return your freedoms to you as best we can. First and foremost in the next twenty-four hours every one of you will have the opportunity to have your tags removed, this is not mandatory. The process will be made as quick as possible, and should leave minimal to no permanent damage. There will be an on-site set up in the grounds and each of you will be given a time slot for the operation. Then, after all operations have been completed you will all be given tracking bracelets. While wearing these you will have the opportunity to visit the nearest town freely and without the accompaniment of teachers. You will each be given as much freedom as possible initially. However I have to warn you that any criminal acts committed will reflect very poorly both on yourself as an individual and the group you are with. It is vital to maintain a positive image. To this end you will be given the opportunity to do some volunteering. There is a hospital designed to take care of ill mutants in the town, working directly with our best geneticist Dr. Thein. You will be able to volunteer here and even meet with him if you would like to discuss your abilities and his ability to help you. Not only that but the town's homeless shelters, animal shelters and charity shops will be available to volunteer at. Any other ideas can be discussed with your teachers. You will also be able to go on field trips and home visits, and invite your parents to visit the school or town. Initially everyone will be expected to wear their tracking bracelet at all times if off the school grounds but with positive results more freedoms can be afforded to people." </strong><br/><br/>David took a heavy breath and smiled at the students. Not a false politicians smile but that of a man who genuinely cares about the people in front of him.<br/><br/><strong>"I will be available to a few people for questions if anyone would like to discuss what has been brought to you today in detail, aside from that your teachers will be fully informed on the freedoms and limitations. Thank you all for attending and I hope this is the first step on the road to an equal society."</strong><br/><br/>
