The X-men run missions and work together with the NYPD, striving to maintain a peaceful balance between humans and mutants. When it comes to a fight, they won't back down from protecting those who need their help.
Haven presents itself as a humanitarian organization for activists, leaders, and high society, yet mutants are the secret leaders working to protect and serve their kind. Behind the scenes they bring their goals into reality.
From the time when mutants became known to the world, SUPER was founded as a black-ops division of the CIA in an attempt to classify, observe, and learn more about this new and rising threat.
The Syndicate works to help bring mutantkind to the forefront of the world. They work from the shadows, a beacon of hope for mutants, but a bane to mankind. With their guiding hand, humanity will finally find extinction.
Since the existence of mutants was first revealed in the nineties, the world has become a changed place. Whether they're genetic misfits or the next stage in humanity's evolution, there's no denying their growing numbers, especially in hubs like New York City. The NYPD has a division devoted to mutant related crimes. Super-powered vigilantes help to maintain the peace. Those who style themselves as Homo Superior work to tear society apart for rebuilding in their own image.

DefinitelyNotAGiantCockroach: . . . Not here yet? Did we not set the meeting time for 8am? I must say this business interaction is certainly not starting off on the right foot! (7:59a)
Thanks to Andrea and Jorge for my sigs! I WABBLE YOUUU! AV Roach~
TechnoBabble: Sorry for make wait. In my culture 8AM is 8:00:00, not 7:59:13. If we are meet again I will come 7:59:10 to make sufficiently early. (8:00a)
TechnoBabble: MutualFriend is say you are need help with code. Please describe job. (8:00a)
DefinitelyNotAGiantCockroach:. . . Ahem. Do Pardon my rudeness, Mr. or Ms. TechnoBabble. I am using text to speech software period. . . no . good. I did not realize it was active at that moment in time. (8:01a)
DefinitelyNotAGiantCockroach: Before we continue I must ask, and I apologize if this comes off somewhat terse, is English your second language? You mentioned a different culture, and I could not help but notice certain... oh, what should I say, here... Gaps in your grammatical structure. (8:02a)
Thanks to Andrea and Jorge for my sigs! I WABBLE YOUUU! AV Roach~
TechnoBabble: Apology is accept. Please forgive if my comment is rude, it was meant as rude but now I am sorry. (8:02a)
TechnoBabble: Is not second language, is Excellent First Language put through Almighty Google Translate and ground like perfectly good cow into cheap inferior hamburger that is English. I would apologize but for this I am not sorry, English is stupid. Please let me know if there is better less stupid language you prefer, I speak all languages when online. (8:02a)
TechnoBabble: MutualFriend is say you are need help with code. Please describe job. (8:02a)
DefinitelyNotAGiantCockroach: Oh, good. I was afraid you were simply an imbecile for a moment. I find the complexities of the English language quite entrancing myself, but everyone has their nectars and acids. (8:03a)
DefinitelyNotAGiantCockroach: I apologize. I am not ready to go into great detail as of yet. While my business interactions with our mutual friend have been nothing but positive, I must confess I feel the need to use caution liberally with respects to the data I have. Suffice to day, I would need you to view some sensitive data, and tell me if certain lines of code within said data have been tampered with. Does this seem like something you would be able to do? (8:04a)
DefinitelyNotAGiantCockroach: Oh, and we should definitely talk price in regard to such work as well. (8:04a)
Thanks to Andrea and Jorge for my sigs! I WABBLE YOUUU! AV Roach~
TechnoBabble: Is depend on code and source and how you have saved. Original file with all history? Is much to learn. Bad copy-paste? Is only code no context. Maybe still inconsistencies that I can find but maybe is seamless. If you want lies and Yes Sir Of Course I Will 110% Find What You Are Look For then go back to MutualFriend and ask for discount script kiddie. I do job right. (8:04a)
TechnoBabble: Here is fee schedule: (8:04a)
TechnoBabble: Code that is real challenge -- $50 USD (8:04a)
TechnoBabble: Code that is boring waste of my time -- $1,000,000 USD (8:04a)
TechnoBabble: Is sliding price scale of stupid. (8:04a)
TechnoBabble: We are 4 minutes 39 seconds into talk and I still have no work, so you are past $50 already. (8:04a)
DefinitelyNotAGiantCockroach: Goodness, you type very quickly, don't you? That's... Quite a range of prices. What kind of guarantee do you have on your work? I can ensure that this work will be interesting, to say the least. I have a dispatching system wired to a large number of automated units. Somehow, some of those units were not following the commands that they should. Some less able "experts" have already failed to find what I am looking for. I definitely did not eat them for this. I want to know if these instances were because of code inserted in the software itself, or if it is because of outside influence. (8:08a)
DefinitelyNotAGiantCockroach: Since my wallet is already open, I may as well get to know my new resource. Where are you from, good sir, and or madam/both or neither? (8:09a)
TechnoBabble: Sorry for delay, somehow chat screen ended up muted for just as long as it took for you to reply. (8:12a)
TechnoBabble: Guarantee of work is trust. You are trust me with code and I am trust you to pay after work is done and if either of us is renege then maybe we will have no more MutualFriends who will vouch for us in future. But we are both professionals who do not keep each other waiting so this will not be problem. (8:12a)
TechnoBabble: If you want to know personal details then these are your pricing options: (8:12a)
TechnoBabble: Fake answers chosen by pseudo-random number generator -- $50 USD (8:12a)
TechnoBabble: Honest refuse to answer -- $100 USD (8:12a)
TechnoBabble: Real information -- already I probably have more money than you and I do not need yours I am only take this job because this morning I have no work from real employer, my real information is not something to share with people who are maybe-joke about eat people so please stop waste my time and send me files (8:12a)
DefinitelyNotAGiantCockroach: Let me think, it takes a moment for one to organize their thoughts. (8:14a)
DefinitelyNotAGiantCockroach is idle
DefinitelyNotAGiantCockroach is typing
DefinitelyNotAGiantCockroach: Many apologies. I seem to have eaten the microphone I use for speech recognition. I shall type out my responses henceforth. I would like to pay $50 for a random answer. That actually seems quite amusing to me. Thank you. (8:25a)
Thanks to Andrea and Jorge for my sigs! I WABBLE YOUUU! AV Roach~
TechnoBabble: Please to not also eat your keyboard or I am maybe trace your location and send someone to see if you are okay because delay is so long. Clearly I will be worried about you so maybe person brings gun for your safety. (8:25a)
TechnoBabble: One random answer as ordered: (8:25a)
TechnoBabble is typing
TechnoBabble: I am a 16 year old Bolivian female, but I do not expect you to believe this because There Are No Girls on the Internet. I am typing from my remote mountain hut via satellite connections I have rigged myself on old astronomy dish I bought from the university when the university was on hard times. I see maybe two, three people a year in real person and this is most excellent because all people are slower than I am. Internet is where I really live, walls of hut are only stupid reality. (8:25a)
TechnoBabble: Please send now $50 USD to account. Routing information: ********* *****************. Conversation can proceed when money arrives. (8:26a)
DefinitelyNotAGiantCockroach: Excellent, I shall call you Edith. Your money will be sent shortly.(8:26a)
DefinitelyNotAGiantCockroach: Your transfer is complete. How are the mountains this time of year? (8:28a)
DefinitelyNotAGiantCockroach: Edith, I'm really starting to feel like we are developing a sort of kinship, you and I. Why, when I was a little girl, I too was lonely. There was no internet back then, so all I had was my dolls. Let me tell you, Edith, I trust you profoundly. Here is the information I have, captured via video on a screen; I explain the context aloud in the video, but the sound quality is less than perfect, so I advise turning up the volume quite loudly.
TechnoBabble: Edith is stupid Anglo-Saxon name, I have just told you I am Bolivian, please Google for appropriate stereotype before try to name again. (8:30a)
TechnoBabble: I have thoroughly assessed data you have sent, here is conclusion. Also see supplemental information. Send $1000 USD to same account if you wish to continue with discussion. (8:30a)
TechnoBabble: Weather is fine thank you for ask, how is it in New York where robots are having strange glitches and impatient person is somehow think it is okay to waste other people's time? You are lucky my employer has only asked me to help him cheat at stupid fruit mobile app today or already I would leave you. (8:30a)
DefinitelyNotAGiantCockroach: . . . My, where do I start. I should send you a smarmy link in response, showing that Edith is, indeed, a common Bolivian name. I could google it for you. But, to be honest, I earned your backlash. I wasn't taking you seriously.(8:32a)
DefinitelyNotAGiantCockroach: Now, I don't deny the prospect that you have the ability to track down where I am. I am, however, spending a lot of money to conceal that position, and I don't think it would make much sense for you to spend the resources in order to do that. So... Perhaps, and I don't know if this is true, but perhaps you surmised my location based on the small bits of information I gave you throughout this little talk. Which of these two possibilities is true matters very little to me, because they both lead to the same conclusion. (8:34a)
DefinitelyNotAGiantCockroach: You are good. You are smart. Maybe too smart, but I like them that way. I am not, however, sending you a thousand dollars for that tidbit. Instead, I'm sending you this:(8:35a)
incoming file download: Complete click here to view file
DefinitelyNotAGiantCockroach: This includes the coding and backlogs of the META dispatch system in New York City. I have had three experts comb over this information. Expensive experts. I want you to tell me if you see anything strange at a glance, and then... I want to ask you some questions about it. Will you do this job, Edith?(8:37a)
Thanks to Andrea and Jorge for my sigs! I WABBLE YOUUU! AV Roach~
DefinitelyNotAGiantCockroach: Okay, someone in this chatroom...(8:41a)
DefinitelyNotAGiantCockroach: Needs to settle the #@$# down. (8:41a)
DefinitelyNotAGiantCockroach: I want you to think about this logically, Edith. Why would I be a cop? Why would a cop give you this data, and ask you questions about it? (8:41a)
DefinitelyNotAGiantCockroach: ... I understand that you are wondering how I came across this information. Think about it in the following way: You, Edith, are very good at your job. I, DefinitelyNotAGiantCockroach, am equally good at mine, if not better. Understand that, and help me. Or run like a coward. I highly doubt that a cop from New York could catch you all the way over there in Bolivia anyway, right Edith? What do you have to worry about? (8:42a)
