How did everyone who possesses powers here come to learn of them? Are they something genetic, or is it possible that some people are just born with them with no identifiable cause?

From what I've heard and read it really seems to be all over the board but I do not know how reliable my reading material is. I've never really had much cause to research it before. My family hasn't been particularly helpful with helping me figure out how all this works nor have they tried to find anyone who can give me some sort of direction.

[Partly because Matilda had not told them about her powers, but she already knows what their reactions might be.]

I've read up on the Trailblazers, but I don't qualify for them. Are there any organizations for people who are younger than that age group?

((ooc; Originally was going to have Matilda start out after her family had left her, but though I might do it a couple days before, just to get some CR before she is on her own. If any plans are made they might not pan out since Matilda will be homeless in about 3 IG days but at least it could get some CR rolling.))

I've been following some suspicious activity in the area recently that I have determined to be linked to one of the criminal organizations operating here in the city. I've been unable to confirm the identity of this group, but based the their movements and patterns I have reason to suspect it may be a TRIDENT group. The location bears many similarities to the TRIDENT base discovered during the Trailblazer's recent rescue mission. There has been a noticeable increase is activity at the site recently, and I believe uncovering whatever their plot is would be in everyone's best interest.

At this time I do not have enough evidence for CONDOR to approve an official operation. I'm looking for any volunteers to form a small team and assist with a recon mission, gather as much information as possible before they act. Stealth and speed are key, it is imperative that we get in and out as swiftly as possible. As mentioned previously, this group may be TRIDENT, so please only step forward if you are sure you can get yourself out on your own if the mission takes a wrong turn.

If you are interested respond with a private message and I will forward mission parameters. The sooner we can assemble the better, as time may be a factor in their plans.

Thank you,
Lightline

Hey, maybe a weird question for here, but anybody have any resources for, say, someone who really has no job experience that doesn't involve sneaking around in the middle of the night stopping bad guys from ending the world?
