That would mean she would have to know exactly who each of us are. Just seems like a bit of a stretch. I do like the idea, but i just think that any one of use knowing who everyone is right away just seems a bit weird.
I had been under the impression tha the characters knew each other fom the beginning, if i am wrong, i apologize.
In the case that I am wrong, another idea: We are each handed a paper-wrapped lump, when we open it, our stone is there, and a slip of paper says, go to X location at X time. Once we all get there, our stones start to glow, and we each suddenly get our powers
OR
We get the stone, get the power, go to place
So...the man gave us the stones and told us where to go and we get our powers.
Something better. ( or not ) What if we all find the stones , get our powers and a few months ( 2-3 ) after we get our powers this man comes to us and tells us he knows of our powers ( we kept them hidden for obvious reasons ) and we should go to an address.
I was thinking about this man that told us where to go and I asked myself this : " Why would a man gave some people he never met something that precious ( the stones ) ? " The answer ? Because he stands to gain something. The corporation that you said Gat could be the ones that found the stones and this man stole them and gave it to us in order to take out this corporation ( of course our characters will not know the real reason until it's too late ). The stones merge with our characters and that's the reason the corporation wants to kill us.
The man's connection to any of us ? Either that he knew our parents ( in which way we decide ) or the stones "chose" us. They were only compatible with a small number of persons.

How does that sound ? @Gat Izen@tal0n@KitsuneDarling
