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.

Hades promptly replied in a digital message that would be sent directly to Kaz’s bracelet
Begin transmission
Title: Re improvements There are a number of solutions that come to mind, First with regards to speaking, it is common in the military to attach a device to the throat that will pick up vibrations direct from your vocal chords and translate them into words with the accuracy of 98% the device is small and would not be affected by high winds.
Second, with regards to your movement, the solution could be a pair of motion/gesture sensing gloves (adapted from what is easily available on the market) that you could wear, of course you would have to manually configure the gestures, and the combination with the vocal signals.
Taz walked slowly down the hallway. He still had no clue where anything was. Looking to the left he saw a faint glow flooding into the hallway. (Hey maby someone is in there) Taz thought to himself. Taz ran into the doorway smiling "hi" he said.

The door swung open into a room. It was not messy or untidy in any manner, but one thing was certain, who ever worked here, had fingers in many many pies. Halfway along one wall there seemed to be a three dimensional rectangle made of holographicly projected data screens, showing DNA sequences and symbols and equations rapidly racing across the screen.
It was from this “cubicle” that Hades emerged. He wore a white lab coat and for now looked around 50 or so with a grey white beard and gold rimmed glasses, but behind those glasses the eyes were no less piercing. “Hello, My name is Doctor Hades, I work here, can I help you?”

Kaz was surprised but not too much as he expected a fairly prompt response from Hades. And he got one, on the bracelet for the board no less. Kaz had been working on the board when the message came in. Stopping near the training room ceiling, upside down, he read and began to replay before he had a thought. Kaz went into a series of maneuvers, while moving his feet and changing his footing in time with the commands he input on the bracelet. "Yeah, that could work."
RE: RE: Improvements.
Sounds good Hades, though I have a few additional questions. The communication device, is there a chance it could be placed under the skin, perhaps away from the front of the throat? If I need to, I'd like to be able to speak through into it without people seeing something on my throat, or if my throat is inspected, I'd rather them not find it easily. Would there be a way to turn it on and off at my discretion?
Gloves would be nice, though how durable would the material be? I think it'd be fair to let you know I fight hand to hand mostly. How sensitive would these gloves be?
While practicing with the board just a bit ago, I thought and wondered if perhaps changing and moving my feet and the placement of one or both feet in specific ways would be able to something similar to the gloves?

As usual the reply was within minutes, talk about efficiency
RE: RE: RE: Improvements. A sensor placed just under the skin would work, it would work a bit like a skin implant, there would be a way to turn it of at your discretion, perhaps touching certain teeth in a certain sequence, or something like that, however since you will be using it, you need to figure out where the on and off switch should best be placed.
As for the gloves, they would be made of heavy duty Nylon composite, the will be bullet proof, though not against snipers. May I remind you that once the attraction field on your boots is switched on, it would be best if it did not allow your feet to move too much, least you find yourself rapidly departing from the board.
Taz looked was startled by what he saw in the room. Gadgets and inventions lay scattered around it looked something he had seen on tv from a spy show. "ummm hello.. hello is anyone in here?"

RE: RE: RE: RE: Improvements.
I like that idea. Since I shift, I'm thinking the teeth thing won't work so well. Pressure switches on the jaw, under and behind the ear would probably work. Which incidentally, though you've probably already thought of this as well, I'd need a speaker of some sort so I could hear what others are saying, also concealed. ((Attachment: A picture with arrows pointing to the corner of the jaw, under the left side of the jaw, and below the earlobe.))
The gloves sound fine to me, and I'll keep the info about the boots and board in mind. Let me know if you need me to come in to have things sized or whenever you're ready to have this stuff done.

(occ TAZ, I have already said Hello) Quote “ It was from this “cubicle” that Hades emerged. He wore a white lab coat and for now looked around 50 or so with a grey white beard and gold rimmed glasses, but behind those glasses the eyes were no less piercing. “Hello, My name is Doctor Hades, I work here, can I help you?””
RE: RE: RE: RE: RE:Improvements.
Just Drop by any time, yes surgical implants would be fine, give me a few days to order the necessary materials and to setup my equipment and you can come by. You will be out of action for say like a day or two while we fine tune it but after that you will be fine.
Taz looked suprised. "um. well im new here at the labs, i came in with calley. he, he brought me here. I dont really know anything about this place could you show me around?"

“Well sure”, Hades said, “Where would you like to go? There are such places as the canteen, the train rooms, you are currently in the barracks. Through those doors you can get to the vehicle bay, then there is also the infirmary, and of course the briefing rooms. Where do you want to go first? You pick.” Hades said as holographic pictures flashed pictures of each room as Hades mentioned its name.

Following along with Hades' last reply, Kaz had waited three days before heading to the man's lab. He had brought along the bracelet that Hades had given him to control the board. Having sent the man a message saying he'd be there in two hours, Kaz walked in with no thought of interrupting Hades. "Ready whenever you are Hades." He spoke loud enough so that Hades would hear him where ever he was, since Kaz didn't see him as he entered. He waited patiently for Hades as he stood in the middle of the labs.
Mandain's run in the simulation ran smoothly, cruising around New York, with a pair of glasses, and some nice loud music which he knew the lyric of. "ba da ba da da da ah ya ya, ba da da da ba ba ee ah. Ba ya ya ba ba de ba da da da ah ya ya. Ba ya ha ya ah ah ah ah ah ba ba ya ya ha ah ah ah ah ah ah. There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea. You became the light on the dark side of me. Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill. But did you know, That when it snows, My eyes become large and, The light that you shine can be seen". While Seal was singing along in his head Horus found the beat too and started to do something that had to be singing but didn't look like it at all. Cruising along that what the both of them were doing, shooting some Ion at some bystanders, but who cared, it was all just simulation.
After repeating this sequence some times Mandain got out of the simulation, and put his dark black glasses back in his jacket pocket. He went over from the simulation to the workshop again, and padded Hades on his shoulder, "You did a fine job Hades, I appreciate it" Mandain smiled broad and gave a wink to Kaz that was standing in the workshop too. Mandain walked to wards the exit of the workshop when one of the lab employees had gotten a strange letter directed to Mandain. How the letter got here was not known, and further there were no fingerprints detected. "Sir, are you Mandain?" "Yeah, that would be me..." Mandain saw the letter in the man's hand, "That's for me I presume then?" "Yes here, yours to read" The man turned around after handing over the letter. "Well now let's read" Mandain mumbled in himself.
Letter:
Dear Mandain.
Let me get right to the point, me and my company have been following you for a particular reason. We noticed that you had sudden pass outs, stomach pain, mood changes, and weird language struggles from one moment to the other. We believe that an Ancient god named Horus had been reincarnated into your body when you were a child. That explains the eye of Horus on your back. We would like to provide you with a lot more information about what physical and emotional problems you may go threw, and give you background information about the reincarnated god. If it would be possible to meet I would appreciate it very much. I myself want to run some harmless tests on you to see how it affects Horus. I will be in New York, Warehouse 15, Samsom street. Be there at 3 pm, in two weeks time.
Yours sincerely Mason Lee
Ps. I'm a Egyptian historian, that focuses in Egyptian gods, Please come see me.
"Well now, a bit late but I could use the information, what do you think Horus". "Pathetic Human, Tests, We no do tests, I agree not, Stay here you will" Horus clearly didn't feel like going to see this Mason Lee. Anyway Mandain insisted on going, but how would he get out of this place? Time to see Hunter and ask about leaving.
(Ooc: I will make a Npc of Mason Lee soon, and in this will be more background about him and Horus his history will be updated too.
As Mandain walked away Abyss bumped into him and the letter went airborne. Surprisingly Abbys took it and started reading. He asked about the letter, if people were following him. "It seems so, but I don't need your help, I need to get to Hunter" Mandain didn't knew Abyss as much as Horus knew him, so he kept his distance, and his answers were cut off to say at least. "Now if you, aarhhh...." Mandain knew Horus was busy getting out again, and so he let him. "Abyss, see to is good you, I'm worried Mandain about, letter, Mason Lee, enemy of mine, but listen won't Mandain, keep eye out kid for the" Horus padded Abyss on his shoulder and took the letter from his hand. This was all Horus had to say, and he went back into Mandain's mind. "Sigh, well I hope you had a nice conversation with him, but now I really must go. Mandain walked past Abyss, off to Hunter.

Hades summoned a techie over. “James, please guide Mr Taz here to the canteen.” He turned to Taz, “Sorry but I need to deal with the boss first.”
Turning to Kaz, Hades beckoned him over as a medical table rose out of the floor, it was essentially a block, with clamps. “If you would not mind lying on the table Kaz we can begin.”
