[Megamind is sitting with his legs crossed in the observation lounge overlooking the cargo hold. His drones that he had reprogrammed are busy gathering materials from various places on the ship that were considered gear adrift and collected them in the cargo hold. He has a small drone in his lap that he's petting like a cat as it makes a *bawng* in response. The lights are off and only the light from the little droid is seen that shows his blue face in the shadow.]

Greetings all of you of the Man-or. I have a message to deliver of utmost importance. I have become aware of the plight that everyone has faced whilst we dwindle away and toil through our countless endeavors through out the span of time that our dear Auth-or has a habit of throwing monkey wrenches into our gears of equilibrium. I propose an option.

I have begun to build a powersuit to counter any attacks that we may face. However, a team of heroes, a team of noble-heart and mind of super proportions would be beneficial to our cause. Anyone willing to take up this mantel would be remembered as the greatest of all!

So take your time...search your core and return to me with a mess-age. Ciao-ciao!

[He waggles his fingers at the camera as the drone cuts off the feed.]

Good! What I intend to do is build a device that would allow the residents to be protected in case there's another attack like the one that happened before I arrived. No one is saying yet just what that attack was...it must have been really bad if it causes people to shut that part of their mind off. Emotions ran high with trepidation...which is understandable.

In any case you're wondering, I'm Megamind, defender of Metrocity and the most handsome of heroes where I'm from.

[She could probably sense that he's incredibly proud.]

[You don't have to be a mind reader to get that.]

Emma Frost, co-headmistress of the Xavier Institute, and member of the X-Men. I was once known as the White Queen, but do please call me Emma.

Oh, there have been several nasty events since I've been here. We had a serial killer one week and an infestation of dinosaurs another. God knows what else this place has seen.
I do think that's a good idea, Megamind, though I'm not sure how useful my talents will be in the field of engineering. I'm a telepath.

Hm. How about someone that can link minds in case communications fall which is highly useful in the event of such an emergency, although that only helps if people are open to the idea, yes? Yes. Ooh, and as a headmistress of an institution, which is helpful, a person with your skills should be most useful for positioning and tactical training.

[An idea certainly comes to mind.]

Leave the engineering to me.

Don't worry; I was planning to.

I'm quite adept at mind linking. If need be, I can coerce people as well. If the mind can do it, I can manipulate it.

[This being has some interesting ideas, but Emma isn't going to let him run the show so easily.]

[He claps his hands together over the glowing bot and smiles.]

Oh good! I'll need a good strong leader to aid me. You know the residents better than I do.

[That's as close as he'll come to saying that he'll take the back seat and do what he does best with his inventions.]

I suppose I do. [Unfortunately, in some cases.]

[He nods his head in response.]

Yes, yes, I understand exactly what you mean.

[Namely Zarbon but he's not going to get into that for now.]

A team would be beneficial even if there is no disaster present from the outside but the safety of the residents should be important as well considering some of the more powerful denizens inside.

[She nods.]

Indeed. At the least, it might give people something to look up to and discourage misdemeanors amongst the residents. And it'll give me something to do. I feel like I've been going stir-crazy here.

That's a good question. Are there any laws? House rules? Something? Being stir-crazy doesn't help. That's like asking for tarter sauce behind the ears. Ew.

In a matter of speaking, yes. [Whatever that means.]

There have been attempts at laws, as best I know, but nothing now. It's a well-controlled anarchist commune. Unless you count the power the Author has over us, but she seems content to give us free reign enough to allow serial killers loose...

Ew, that can't be good. Anarchy...I remember disrupting the balance once. It's not worth it.
