"Right-o!" Kenna Sterling said after descending from the podium, clapped her hands twice. "Student Orientation Association, ASSEMBLE!"

From amidst the mob of freshman came the other SOA members, most of whom were giving the bare minimum to count as "assembling" as they shuffled into view. While some of them were eager and willing, many of them were waiting to get this over with. For a long time the SOA was run as a very low-key organization, and many of its members were seniors and holdouts from that slow period who just wanted the extra credit for their records. Needless to say, after the old president graduated and left the Promise, they weren't expecting someone like Kenna to sweep in and revitalize the group like a fistful of adrenaline shots. Luckily for them, Kenna was either too nice or too trusting to kick any of the lazier team members out of the SOA, so many of them just chose to grin and bear it until they could graduate and get as far away as possible from the demented plant girl's club as possible.

"Okay, this is the big day people!" Kenna announced, bouncing on her toes excitedly. "This is our chance to really make the new students feel welcome, so get out there and do your stuff. We're a bit short on time so I'll spare most of the re-review of the game plan..."

A couple of the older SOA's cried tears of joy at this news.

"...long story short, consult the rules list, answer any questions, and don't forget to sell the dance as much as possible, gonna be a BIG event this year!" Kenna concluded, clapping her hands together. "Now make sure you all get your handout satchel and guide books so you're double prepared."

"Sure thing, Leslie Knope," one of the SOA members grumbled.

"'Scuse me?" Kenna asked.

"...nothin'."

Grinning widely, she watched with pride as her committee members dispersed, then picked up her own satchel and forced her way back into the crowd. Pacing around and making conversation with freshman, it was surreal to think that only a few years ago she was on the other side, a new arrival trying to fit in. It was before she met any of her other friends, back when the only living person she knew was her Uncle. It was hard for her, especially considering the fact that she was a Bio. The Bios, or the Biological powers, often had it worse then other Metas given the often uncontrollable nature of their powers. The ones that survived or weren't "removed for public safety" often had a lot of emotional baggage on top of that, with the end result being that Bios had a reputation for being rather unstable. Needless to say, after her own experiences trying to make friends when everyone thought you were the mental equivalent of a ticking time bomb, Kenna kept a close eye out for any other Bios she could befriend, just to show them that the world wasn't a dark place for people like them. Just like Henry showed her.
