Nov. 6th, 2004 04:40 pmBut here are the facts we have about what happened, before the rumors get started.
Some of you were aware that Alison had organized a shopping trip this afternoon. Accompanying her were Sean, Terry, Kyle, and Miles. A short time after they arrived at the mall, they were attacked by Magneto and the Brotherhood. Most, if not all of you, have probably seen the footage of what's left of the mall on the news by now.
Magneto's goal was to take Miles. He did not succeed. Miles is back here and safe, along with everyone else from Alison's group and the members of the team who went out after them when we got the signal from Miles' panic button. As far as we've heard, there were some civilians wounded, but no one was killed.
Sean, Terry, Kyle and Miles all suffered minor injuries in the fight, but will be fine. I can't give you many details about Alison's condition yet. Her powers were in a state of overload when she was brought back to the mansion, and Moira, Madelyn and Charles are doing what they can for her. Please avoid medlab except in case of emergency. When visitors are feasible, we'll let you know.
In terms of security, you may or may not have noticed the staff is at a heightened state of alert. Please watch the journals for any further announcements, keep an ear out for the telepaths, and stay aware of what's going on around you. If anything further happens, you'll know as soon as we do.
