<strong>Paradox (NYC)</strong><em>@Safehouse</em><br/><br/>The public information on the three was a quick search. Nothing concrete on P.S.I. The initials were not even mentioned in anything made available to the general public at least. There were different answers to the initials on different sites, but none of them seemed one that would be a company involved with metahumans or hospitals.<br/><br/>The search on Hades Enterprises brought out a dossier on a company that had convinced several wealthy people to invest into a risk enterprise, getting their money doubled, and then tripled, before being bought out quietly. It appeared that Hades' investments had paid off remarkably well. They were even suspected of manipulating events. Lots of suspicions and accusations around them.<br/><br/>Seven Thunders had several webpages, but the public image was clear. They were strictly anti-metahuman group with a large religious press to their agenda. They believed Metahumans were dangerous, and religious arguments clearly marked the metahumans to be agents of the devil in their view. They publically announced having already successfully driven away 16 metahumans from their homes after the period of metahuman appearances began.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>P.S.I's leads were few, but eventually something came up. It was not in Paradox's own database, it did not seem to exist in other times. Yet as the searches got more invasive, one of them struck gold.<em>Paranormal Studies Institute.</em>There was very few things that could be confirmed on the spot at least, but there certainly appeared to be some material.<br/><br/>P.S.I was an organisation with many connections. Hospitals, military suppliers, possibly some more clandestine organisations. Their presence was like that of a spiderweb, lightly touching many, barely noticeable but yet strong and definitely there.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Hades Enterprises had a rather large dossier of information, various smaller companies had been bought and their services made part of the whole. Hades seemed to have almost precognicious way of acquiring what was going to be useful soon. The company's success seemed to be tied with Hades' leadership. Nonetheless, there were accusations as well.<br/><br/>Insider trading, manipulating local events, attempts at global manipulation. It seemed there were a lot of different accusations, but there did not appear to be concrete proof. The Paradox's database picked up a small reference to Hades Enterprises. They had risen like a star, but the<em>assassination</em>of Hades himself by a metahuman claiming the name<em>Titan</em>had brought the enterprise down, according to the database, 2 years from the present moment. In the meanwhile, Hades Enterprises had risen (although with shady reputation) into as big company as Microsoft or Google before it.<br/><br/>Its collapse dragged both Europe and United States to an economical brink. It was widely believed that Titan was hired to assassinate him so the Asian powerbloc could rise up and take control.<br/><br/>There was a documentation claiming the man called Hades was a metahuman, but also that he had a few metahumans each taking a Greek Personality serving under him as well.<br/><br/>It noted that an analyst had decided the name 'Hades' was decided on his habit of 'balancing the scales' and 'judging the worth', rather than as the Ruler of the Underworld. He was the 'older brother' that took on a heavy responsibility, but not a position to lead.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Lastly, the Seven Thunders. Their list of attacks against metahumans was the tip of an iceberg. In turn, the Seven Thunder's report in Paradox's database marked them down to having killed roughly 60% of metahumans they pursued, the other cases resolved by metahuman moving away and beyond their reach, and in a few instances, through metahuman attacking them, which unfortunately seemed to only give them more support in some circles.  Their PR was frightening, their leader seemed to have a charisma that rivalled Adolf Hitler, frightening but effective towards those following him.<br/><br/>There was also a marking almost a decade from now the Seven Thunders were celebrating when a metahuman having taken the shape of an angel attacked their actual stone church during its construction, destroying many, before the church's leader, in long flowing white robes attacked this angel and snapped its neck with bare hands.<br/><br/>The image had spelled the end of Seven Thunders in original time-line it seemed. Having lost support, they became a small, very small group in fact, but their violent agenda remained, at least for a while, before an attack against a small metahuman community lead to their total annihilation.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, the dossier also noted Metahumans had taken over Cuba entirely, outing every non-metahuman, having proclaimed Cuba their sovereign territory, and having swatted down from the sky everything from a spy-plane to a ballistic missile. Reportedly even satellite orbits had to be adjusted to pass elsewhere, not over Cuba, because of a 'mysterious tendency to implode' while crossing over the area.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Phew. <br/><br/>That took a while to write, and while its addressed to Paradox its going to be on the wall screen for all to read. I'm sorry I have little to say to Ada and Myriad right now and here, but I'm tired today after all the typing, and I am not sure what to reply at this time. I will reply more to your characters soon once you set out of the apartment after the planning, and if splitting up for some reason, naturally it'll be easier to reply to you directly. <br/><br/>Anyway, my apologies, thank you for your patience, and hope it was an interesting read at least.</div></div>
