<div class="floatleft">(http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/BlueHankster/Beast/739627-beast.jpg)</div><strong>Name: </strong>Hank McCoy<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Beast Lab<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>White button up and slacks<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Kitty, open<br/><hr/>Hank closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. He knew that changes were coming he just hadn't expected them all at one time. Kitty was taking her new position very seriously and was attacking as many of the big problems as she could head on. Hank didn't know if she felt she had something to prove but anyone who knew her knew that she had already done so many times over. He sat quietly until she had finished, the only indications of approval or dread being the occasional lifting or lowering of his eyebrows.<br/>As she came to a close he lowered his hand back to the desk top and opened his eyes. She had come there dressed and acting in a manner to play on his libido and she hadn't completely missed the mark. Hank took a short breath and did his best to give a supportive and balanced responce. "Of course Kitty, you are right. I will do my utmost to curb spending here in the lab as best i can. As for any suggested changes to the school they are of course completely up to the decision of you as far as implementation or not. I will not be upset either way." He adjusted in his seat "As for the Antimatter Generator we could help power the local area however, it would cause issues should the school be on a security lockdown or an extended use of the danger room be put forward. The alternative is that we make an agreement with the power company to put back into the grid. Several companies in the Midwest do this already with their solar collection sites and it returns a nice check each month. I have no doubt that we could equal their returns." He liked giving good news for he knew it was in short supply for Kitty of late.<br/>Hank frowned slightly before going on. He knew that the scrap projects facility didn't look like much to most people and surely the value of such materials would be great but Hank didn't see it as a storage site he saw it as a place to expand his possibilities and get a fresh perspective on new ideas through the failure of the old. Still once again Kitty was correct. For the school to continue sacrifices had to be made. "I shall see what i can do about the scrap projects facility. I'm sure a few institutions would welcome some of the equipment and i know of a few labs that would jump at a chance to try and answer some of the technical conundrums I've come up with. No doubt they would pay handsomely for them. The Palladium from the Micron Encoding Laser alone could put Logan through etiquette school a dozen times over."  He chuckled and hoped the small joke brought some kind of smile to Kitty.<br/>"As for the future of large projects there is no reason they cannot be set back until a more opportune time arises."  He became serious and sat back in his chair steepling his fingers. "All but one anyway. This school was built using the same template as its predecessor and unfortunately we do no live in the same times as it was designed for. If anything the last few weeks have shown just how exposed this school is to the potential of attack. As such i suggest a full upgrade to its defenses. I would like to add an invisible energy wall extension to the top of the main walls. This will reduce the casual wall jumping. Second we need to double or surveillance cameras and sensors including the outside of the grounds. The sooner we can see trouble coming the better."  He took a deep breath before continuing. "Lastly a full tactical upgrade i know is out of the question but i strongly believe that at least six automated plasma gun stunners need to be considered. If someone tries to show up out of the blue like Dakken did it could incapacitate them or at least slow them down enough for a proper and focused responce form our teams."  He waited as she chewed on what all he had said. Kitty was no fool but nor was she use to taking big steps. Ororo and Logan could have serious issue with such changes but if the school was to survive this swiftly changing world then precautions had to be taken.
