How does this sound:

We do the kiosks and get some info on our new factions.

We go off to do some basic heroics (walking old ladies across the street, stoping a mugging/vandalism, saving cars from trees, etc)

There is an emergency, something small to cause the heroes to the heroes to have to spring into action. One that hopefully alludes to a later adventure. (Bank robbery, gang fighting, maybe a mad but somewhat weak villain, etc)

The heroes go to a training facility to get some further practice working together.

The heroes then are sent to deal with an actual crisis proper.

I'd love to write the ELITE kiosk if no one else wants to. And I'd be willing to run our first little event.
