"Mutant Revolutionaries, this sounds like the book I am after.." Morgan murmured softly, her fingers running lovingly over the spine. She took a seat at one of the tables and added the book to a growing pile of volumes, checking through some notes before picking it up and beginning to read.

by **Stan Bowen** » Mon Jul 20, 2009 8:45 pm

Stan was in the same area as Morgan, refiling some research journals he had been referencing.

Glancing upon the subject matter she was interested in, he frowned, shaking his head as he went back to his stacks.

Morgan read on avidly, scribling the occasional note and murmuring passages to herself.

"Some say that Lehnsherr is quite possibly the biggest influence on mutant/human politics that has existed so far, even surpassing the works of Professor Charles Xavier, who himself favoured less demonstrative responses to global situations.." Pausing she wrote another couple of notes.

by **Stan Bowen** » Mon Jul 20, 2009 11:34 pm

Stan looked over, shaking his head again.

Influence? Probably..They always remember the ones who destroy.

He absently thought, unaware Morgan was psychic.

by **Morgan Evans** » Mon Jul 20, 2009 11:38 pm

Morgan wasn't intentionally listening in, in fact she hadn't realised that he was there but being so focused elsewhere meant she heard him as clearly as if he had spoken directly into her ear. She looked up and tilted her head in curiousity, he wasn't one of her teachers..

"Destruction has always preceeded rebirth, from the ashes the phoenix rose, from the tears of a virgin healing begins."

by **Stan Bowen** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 6:10 pm

Stan turned, cocking his eye.

"Psychic, hmm? Healing is nice, but It isn't so great for the trees, when the forest fire ignites. And Magneto is one very well known firestarter."

"I think it is fairly well known that the flames were already there, all he did was harness them into something more cohesive. Uniting a people for their own betterment surely can't be a bad thing."

by **Stan Bowen** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 8:07 pm

"Uniting people for their betterment is a noble cause. Doing it on the ashes of another people is horrific."

by **Morgan Evans** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 8:10 pm

"If they set themselves aflame then why hold yourself back when you have the advantage?"

by **Stan Bowen** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 8:16 pm

"Because it's not about who has any sort of percieved atvantage. Pendulums shift. And I've seen too many people press too many advantages."

by **Morgan Evans** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 8:28 pm

"As have I."

by **Stan Bowen** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 8:37 pm

"And how did that end up for you?"

by **Morgan Evans** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 8:41 pm

"With the gutted bodies of my parents swinging from a tree before the eyes of their small daughter while people cheered. Unless of course you mean the times when it resulted in beatings, rape or murder?"

by **Stan Bowen** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 8:54 pm

Stan frowned.

"I'm sorry, I truly am- I've been through similar tragedy. And I don't discount any of it. But You must know Magneto has perpetrayed much worse, much more often. And nothing ever changes."

by **Morgan Evans** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 8:55 pm

"I believe in his reason more than I do in theirs."

by **Stan Bowen** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 9:13 pm

"His reason? What do you think his reason is?"

by **Morgan Evans** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 9:22 pm

"Evolution of species and natural selection."

by **Stan Bowen** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 9:34 pm

"Evolution and natural selection is a long term, passive change. It doesn't involve sugjegation and genocide."

by **Morgan Evans** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 9:39 pm

"Historically." Morgan nodded in agreement.

"So are you content with the loss of the human species if it happens over a long period of time and naturally? Or do you think we should build an ark of human genes?"

by **Stan Bowen** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 10:09 pm

"Mankind is changing, and has been changing for millions of years. And In a million more, neither human nor mutant will exist as they do now. And yes, we should preserve the genome as we can, for history's sake. But that doesn't mean we should destroy it's source afterward."

by **Morgan Evans** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 10:23 pm

"If the lifeform is proven to be no longer viable and is ineffecient and clumsy by comparison then why bother with it? We aren't trying to resurrect the T-rex and it has far more value."

by **Stan Bowen** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 4:42 pm

Stan smiled.

"The funny thing is, humans have mutants beat in lots of areas. I wouldn't write them off as inviable and inefficient just yet."

by **Morgan Evans** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 7:12 pm

"The only reason they have any sort of foothold over us is because they have been here on earth long enough to firmly establish themselves, the fact that places like mutant town exist in what most people would have once considered a human community bodes well for the establishment of firmer mainland colonies."

by **Stan Bowen** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 7:22 pm

"It's not about footholds.. It's about resources. It takes a lot of energy to grow twenty feet, shoot beams out of your eyes, or move things with your mind. Mutants require more energy to survive."

Stan put his last journal back in place.

"Colonies are fine. Genosha is fine, and dearly needed. My problem is the with the misplaced need to look at humans as inferior, and a waste of life. That attitude solves nothing."

by **Morgan Evans** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 7:35 pm

"They think those things of us. They treat us as inferior life forms, as a glitch, why shouldn't we reciprocate in kind? At least we have the facts to back us up."

by **Stan Bowen** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 7:48 pm

"A small minority thinks those things of us, like a small minority of us thinks that of humans. We shouldn't reciprocate, because there is no end to it. And death and destruction are not worth whatever tiny, temporary advantage one side gets over another."

by **Morgan Evans** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 8:18 pm

"Without exaggeration every single human I have ever met in my life thought that way bar none. I spent my entire life around them, vermin that they are, they denied me of my family first and then my life."

by **Stan Bowen** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 8:30 pm

Stan paused.

"I'm sorry."

by **Morgan Evans** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 8:44 pm

"Why? Were you there? Could you have stopped them?"

by **Stan Bowen** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 9:16 pm

"There are good people, good humans out there. Most of them, in fact. Most of them just want to live in peace."

by **Morgan Evans** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 9:38 pm

"They took everything from me and continue to do so. Its hard for me to reconcile these with the people whom you are discussing."

by **Stan Bowen** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 9:46 pm

"You need to meet some, see that they aren't all bad. Not everyone in mutant town is a mutant, you know."

by **Morgan Evans** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 9:56 pm

"I don't leave campus. Its not safe out there."

by **Stan Bowen** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 10:05 pm

"You really should.. there are lots of great shops and restaurants right there in mutant town. You'd have no reason to feel in danger."

by **Morgan Evans** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 10:42 pm

"Last time I left campus I was attacked, if not for Connor and Cassiel I would have been killed."

by **Stan Bowen** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 9:00 pm

"Again, I'm sorry.. You have had some horrible, horrible experiences. But There are good people out there. I can show you, if you want."

by **Morgan Evans** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 9:37 pm

Morgan nodded, though it was obvious she had her doubts.

by **Stan Bowen** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 9:40 pm

Stan nodded.

"I'll meet you at the front gate around 5, and take you by a few places in Mutant Town. What's your name, by the way?"

by **Morgan Evans** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 9:47 pm

"Morgan. Morgan Evans." She nods in agreement.

by **Stan Bowen** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 10:06 pm

Stan smiles.

"I'm Doctor Bowen."
