Making this sort of announcement is never easy, and the fact that it's ever had to be done more than once is, quite frankly, depressing beyond belief.

To be succinct: if any of you encounter Lorna Dane outside the mansion, you are not to try and engage her in conversation. You are not to approach her. Stay well clear of her and call the emergency number immediately.

We cannot give you specific details, mostly because we don't have them to give. What we do have makes it very clear that we need to take these measures until we sort out what precisely is going on and can help her.

Scott? What's going? Your scaring me...

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Was just picking up the phone to dial your number, Alex. Hold on.

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

Woah, wait, what? I saw Lorna in Florida just a couple weeks ago, she seemed fine, nothing happened...

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Seconded on the "whoa, wait, what?" Lorna's dangerous now? How . . .

Okay, I officially don't like where my mind's going.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Jamie, we're lacking in hard facts right now. This is a matter of 'better safe than sorry'.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Sorry. Hit a button is all.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

It's all right. The fact that we've had to make posts like this before in no way diminishes just how shitty these situations are.

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

Um, no, I'm not particularly fond of that line of thinking, either.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

They're just making sure of everything, like Mr. Summers said. It probably isn't anything.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Something may have, Kitty. Until we know for sure what's going on, it's important that everyone exercises caution.

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

Um, yeah. Ok...

Please let us know whatever you can.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

No.

This is LORNA we're talking about and it's not possible so find another sollution.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Paige, you do have access to the team board. Make use of it.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

Done and done.

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

Mr. Summers, can you tell us anything about why you're saying this? It's just so hard to believe that Miss Dane would be a threat to any of us here.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

You know what? I can.

We have some reason to believe that Lorna may have been involved in a violent incident. Given her training and her powers, the possibility that this is true is more than enough justification to warn you all against contact with her.

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

Violent how? Where is she? I thought she was at school. Are she and Alex okay?

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Terry, that's all the details I can give any of you right now. I'm sorry.

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

Can I ask if you think it's likly that she'd be around? I mean, last I heard she was in Cali, and I saw her in Florida, and I'm just really confused.

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

Where did this incident happen at least? I don't understand why you think she'd be here.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Terry? I cannot give you any further details. Please stop asking.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Mr. Summers,

I may be able to help find her. See me if you're interested.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

I'll try and stop in a little later this afternoon, Forge. There are a few matters I need to deal with first.

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

I'm stealing her line and going to bake in the kitchen.

if there is anything I can do Mr. Summers...I will.

If you want her hunted down like a rabid dog...

[x-empath.livejournal.com]

Then I would be delighted to oblige.

If this is what I think it is, it would be the absolute _least_ I could do.

As people are so fond of pointing out to me, I 0wned her once, I can do it again. If for no other reason than to bring her back here to be dealt with as justice demands.

Let me head everyone off here

Manuel - with no contempt or mockery intended, I don't know how things operate in Spain, but the U.S. has a legal precedent of "Innocent until proven guilty". I'm sure if she needs to be found, the Professor has every ability to do so.

People might be afraid of her having done something horrible - but a lot of folks have done awful things when they weren't in control, or weren't thinking straight, or were acting under bad information. Yourself included, and you know this. There may be information we don't know, and until we have all the details, we shouldn't be making any kind of action plans.

If you feel the need to defend yourself at some point, then by all means, I say 0wn away. But I'm pretty sure the professionals have it under control.

Re: Let me head everyone off here

[x-empath.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

Let's just say I know more than you do, OK?

Manuel

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Manuel?

In my office now.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Manuel?

Scroll up and reread my post. That applies to you, as well as to every other student here.
