They all brought relevant points, and their arguments were compelling. The Government would listen to the potential aid the mutants could grant, but she knew at least some of their likely first questions. That and their inevitable counter points. Once the others were entirely done talking Aubrey replied.<br/><br/><strong>"Personally, I see these as excellent ideas. I think perhaps one of the natural first steps is to make clear what I'm aware the Government are going to want, and ask for, in this deal. First of all any outing is going to need to be accompanied by Government personnel. Early on I can find time to personally attend, and do my best to keep any armed presence to a minimum."<br/></strong><br/>It was a shame a military presence would be insisted on, but she knew the Government's stance on that. It was a non-negotiable point, and only one that could tried to be toned down a little.<br/><br/><strong>"Next we would need a detailed list of the mutants, and their abilities, that you feel would be appropriate on these missions. Abilities will not be the main focus. Anyone who can use a tool, help with planning or do manual labour would be appreciated. Of course anything superhuman they can do will be useful, but the effort is what counts. The real thing to note is their attitude. Anyone overly confrontational should not be brought. The Government, and military personnel, do not take well to what they will term 'Unprofessional teenagers'. Salem is a wonderful example of someone who keeps control. If you want to be taken seriously, at least early on, I would advise compiling a mutation information and a full psychological evaluation on anyone interested in attending."<br/></strong><br/>She hated that she had to sound so clinical, and more than a little cold. But she also knew that these people wanted this to be taken seriously.<br/><br/><strong>"And then, I think there is one more suggestion. How would you, and Charles, feel about students being taken on military operations? With, of course, appropriate training. They could do wonders for conflict resolution. Save hundreds, thousands, maybe more. I know some have been on a few already, but this is an area the Government would like to expand on. So perhaps the two could be linked? Giving you an opportunity to help us, and then to help those in danger."</strong>
