After the Weapon X facility incident coupled with the altercation between several of the new student and Daken everyone was irritable and understandably so. Hank had to admit that he too was distracted due to his inability to have helped with the facility rescue. Hank had come to realize that though he was important to the school he was not the linchpin but simply another link in the chain. Over the years he had taken on the assumption of responsibility for everything within his reach. He wondered now if that mentality had caused more harm than good. Still he had more than enough work to keep him busy and he wasn't about to let doubt impede it.<br/><br/>Recently he had focused on one of the more interesting yet simple problems on his list. Young Nuo was having issues with her abilities outstripping her bodies ability to withstand the use. Her Kinetic energy built up allowing her to spring, vault and jump of large distances. It also allowed her to land punches and kicks with enough force to break her own bones. All too often mutants developed powers that were dangerous to them and Nuo was no different. Thankfully Hank had dealt with kinetic powers of other mutants in the past and had at least a partial answer to the issue. With the addition of a simple kinetic dispersion mesh added to her uniform Nuo would be able bleed off extra energy without having to use it up through workout or running around. The second part would be to develop a kinetic focusing nod that could not only store up her energy but allow to to be used in a focused fashion. If his plans for the nods worked in the real world then they too could be easily added into her uniform as well. The nods would allow the kinetic energy to form a small field of kinetic energy around it which in theory would allow Nuo to land a punch ,should the nod be integrated into a glove, with the same force as she had done so before but cushioned her bone structure from the impact.<br/><br/>Hank enjoyed working on practical answers. It was a relief to do so and gave him a sense of accomplishment which he could then use to move on to less obvious problems. Looking at the clock he replaced his glasses, leaving the fine work knitting machine to finish working the mesh into Nuo's new uniform.  Walking into the medical room of his lab he picked up the blood work of Ragnar. There was definitely mutant genes at work but something else as well that Hank couldn't quite yet explain. Ragnar had an ability unlike most transmutationist for his mass could be changed not just his volume. Such abilities usually meant something more than simple mutation. He would request that Ragnar concider allowing him to do an in depth brain scan while he shifted forms. Perhaps that would give them both answers. As for Jubilation, well Hank knew when to back off. The virus was more aggressive than anything he had ever seen and it reacted like it knew Hank wanted to stamp it out. Shifting and mutating in new ways to defend itself from even the smallest attempt at an antidote. Perhaps one day something could be done but until then he would simply store the samples and hope.<br/><br/>Mr Cordero however was moving along wonderfully and though Hank continues to do daily updates and screenings it would seem that all remnants of the aggressive sentinel subconscious had in fact been removed. Mr. Cordero still had a ways to go before the word normal would be used in reference to his mental state.<br/><br/>He hung his lab coat near the door and sat down at his desk. He had taken to a minor mediation regiment that would calm him and clear his mind a few times a day. As he finished with his controlled breathing he reached out to the desk and lightly tapped the metronome that sat to one side. As it ticked back and forth he tried to set his breathing and heart to match as best he could.
