				<em>The smell of burning flesh permeated the scene. The carcasses of easily a dozen vehicles, maybe more were strewn along the street. As torn apart as they were, it was difficult to place precisely how many there were. Glass, steel and plastic were spread along the thin strip of highway like litter, and the various vehicles were still aflame. Bodies, in the dozens could be seen strewn everywhere as well.&nbsp; Some blazing from the gasoline from the vehicles, some combusting on their own, burning hot at the sun was beginning to set over the scene, and lights that flickered between red white and blue began to light up the place, the wail of sirens piercing the air. Large hoses were pulled in to keep the flames from spreading to the nearby flora, and men in uniform began cordoning the area off. It wasn't like the road saw much activity anyways, but it was best to keep things safe. Cars were sent to direct any incoming traffic away as the sun set fully and the fires could be seen burning for miles.</em><br><br><hr><br>The office was quiet. The view was spectacular, looking over the entire city, brimming with life as the lights came on, a human rebellion against the darkness that came when the sun went down. Despite the height of the office, the sounds of the city still could be heard. Sirens, horns, cars, people, all living their lives, as oblivious of the man that looked over them from that tall office as he was of them. Looking over the city could sometimes calm him, but not tonight. Tonight he was... restless. Tonight he was upset.<br><br><div class="floatright">(http://66.media.tumblr.com/806379b4dea37b82148ccfb5fe322a01/tumblr_nyohdz9EJl1ukf73ro1_1280.jpg)</div>He looked tired, visibly gaunt. His appearance was usually so alive, vibrant, expressive and emotional. The eyes that had always glittered with life and hope looked over the city with defeat in them. His lips, almost always smiling before carried a very heavy, very concerned frown. His cheeks were unshaven, his fingers tapping at his office chair, the comfort behind the leather seat lost on him as he himself was lost in deep thought. His mind churning over the events in infinite detail, every action, every step, every decision that had led him to be seated in his chair at this moment in time, wondering where everything went amiss. How everything had gone awry over the course of one afternoon. Over the course of maybe fifteen minutes.<br><br>A gentle tap at the door announced the arrival of a young man. Tall, blonde, bearded and powerfully built and yet with a gentleness of spirit around him as he stepped into the office, his eyes peering into the darkness of it, trying to find the owner.<br><br>"The Meteorite has arrived at Storage, Mr. White. There weren't any complications with the transportation, and the transition is being completed as we speak," The younger man's voice was deep, but again, soft and kinder than you would give the man at an initial glance."<br><br>"Thank you James," Came the tired response, a smooth voice with more than a hint of that lilting Scottish accent of his as White didn't turn from his view of the city.<br><br>"Sir... if you don't mind my asking, well, we won today. We got the meteorite. We stopped Tac 6 in their tracks. Why..."<br><br>"Why am I not celebrating with a bottle of champagne and cigars?" White repeated, taking hold of a sleek-looking remote control and pressing a button. A large television screen mounted on the wall to his right lit up, with a pretty reporter's face cast in the background of the destruction.<br><br><em>"We're here live on the scene of what can only be described as a battlefield. While the reports coming in are conflicting, They do seem to agree on the fact that the convoy, whose remains t can see behind me, were in fact vehicles belonging to the UN Agency simply known as Tac 6, tasked with the monitoring of the Evolved Phenomenon, and they were in the process of transporting an undisclosed item that was vital to National Security. There are some conflicting reports, but it does seem clear that the attack was perpetuated by Evolved Individuals as well, although their level of organization is in question at the moment. The attack, as you can see behind me, was methodical, precise, and brutal. It would seem that it was an organized strike against the UN Agency, and if that is confirmed by the specialists on the scene, Congress should convene in an emergency session to decide if they should give emergency powers to Tac 6, a foreign Agency, to deal with what is becoming an increasingly worrying Evolved Problem. Our hearts and prayers go out to the brave men and women that died in this cowardly attack, and to their families as well. Back to you Mike."<br><br>"Thank you Jane. Keep watching for more on this horrific attack. In other news..."</em><br><br>The television flickered off, and James could see that White had seen the footage enough times to not have to watch it again. The demonstration had been for his benefit alone.<br><br>"They were expecting us to make a move, James. Almost wanted us to, I'd say."<br><br>"But... they declared war when they moved the Meteorite onto U.S. soil. They were the ones that provoked us."<br><br>"But as you can see, in the eyes of the world, we struck first. We drew first blood. The war has begun, James, and now we find ourselves with very few allies left. I only hope we can survive the consequences of my decisions. I only hope that the rest of our brothers do too."

				<div align="center">(http://cdn.wegotthiscovered.com/wp-content/uploads/Neal-McDonough-623x360.jpg)</div><br>"Mr. O'Neil, I'm sure you can understand the concern that we, as American Citizens, have over handing jurisdiction to a foreign Agency, especially the one with the kind of track record that Tac 6 has had in the past. As the director of the Agency, what would you say to American citizens across the country to acclimatize them to what Tac 6 will be doing in the country."<br><br>O'Neil had the look of a military man. His hair was an interesting mixture of blonde and pure white, cut stylishly short. His build was lean and hard, and he his eyes were the color of the winter sky, and had something of a piercing quality to them. His attire was that of a civilian, with a suit and tie of an acceptably modest budget, but the way he held himself, the way that his square jawline was shaved as close as it could get without touching the skin, told of a man that had been in his fair share of metaphorical, and maybe not even that, foxholes. He leaned forward onto the table in front of him, his elbows connecting with the wooden surface as his hands connected in front of him. He didn't bother to look down at his notes, instead looking directly and piercingly at the originator of the question, his voice coming forward in a deep, commanding tone with no hint of foreign accent whatsoever.<br><br>"The Evolved are not the problem of a single nation. Some would argue that they aren't a problem at all, directing our attention to the people who are, admittedly, trying to adapt to this change in their lifestyle in as healthy and decent a way as possible, and I applaud these people. This new legislation is not going to change their lives at all. But then we have the criminals. From petty thieves to gang-bangers or even vigilantes who's illegal lifestyle has been augmented by these... abilities. Who have no wish to know the concept that is a lawful life lived. These people who would already have been on the radar of various law enforcement agencies have now become too much for these state-funded agencies to handle. This attack on the Tac 6 convoy has shown that. And now we have African warlords, organized crime bosses and even para-military commanders given these same abilities, people would could have upset the world now given these kinds of weapons to add to their arsenal. There needs to be some sort of check. There needs to be a balance."<br><br>"Tac 6 is that balance. We have no interest in the running of the country, or how the state runs their own operations. Studying and documenting the activities of the Evolved so as to allow them to live their lives without using their abilities to disrupt the lives of the rest of the American Citizens. Various other UN nations like Germany, Japan, France, Brazil, Argentina and others have come to know Tac 6 as the perfect balance between the Evolved," He raised his right hand hand," And the everyday citizens of the world," He matched the first hand's height with the left," We all deserve to live in peace."<br><br>"Sometimes measures have to be taken. Arrests have to be made, dangerous individuals have to be stopped. And every step that Tac 6 makes is closely scrutinized by the UN and by the country in which we operate. There will be no oversights, no mistakes, no mishandling of situations. Our people are well trained to deal with the Evolved in as quiet and peaceful a way as they can. The Evolved will be monitored, that is true, but so long as their abilities do not allow them to take an unfair advantage over the rest of humanity. That is what Tac 6 represents, and now that we have been allowed to operate under the supervision of the US congress, that is what American Citizens will experience from now on, starting today."<br><br>As his voice died down over the sound system of the room, the sound of thunderous applause began and didn't stop as it echoed across the building.
