Chris put his hands in his pockets while looking the group over. He was glad he shared his thoughts, because the group relations they were setting up now would be crucial in case of emergency. He was glad Ryan was ready to listen, without brushing off the group (or worse - treating them like a threat). Edith would do a good job being the leader, since her crankiness seemed to just add to her feeling of responsibility. And Renat was an untapped potential - taking the world and this situation with innocent eyes. He was now a model system of mutant existence itself.

[color=aqua]"Call me Chris"[/color] he said to Renat, then looked at the group in general. [color=aqua]"Since last week, I was in the USF anomaly testing division, particularly in charge of experimenting upon and cataloguing of all anomalous residents of the holding facility we just teleported out of."[/color] His monotonous voice had an air of professional authority about it. [color=aqua]"Once instructions came to make the measurements destructive, a step I expected but hoped would happen later, I have unofficially sided with the subjects of the experiments and USF's directive in general. That is to say, [i]you[/i]. I have now made this official."[/color]

He took his hands out of his pockets and combined their fingers in front of him. [color=aqua]"I thus choose to be useful to you. The reason I was so eager to join the USF is because I too am one of their targets. And also, ironically, am perfect for this job."[/color] He spread his fingers. [color=aqua]"Since roughly a month ago, my body is an open book to me. Since a week ago, so is anyone else's. Well, except you, maybe."[/color] He gestured at Ryan, [color=aqua]"We will check later. Know that I can see anything that's broken within your bodies. I also enjoy long walks on the beach and talking extensively about myself."[/color]
