[OOC] Ultimate One Universe: Emergence

[Master Bruce]

@Master Bruce So, one question that occurs to me. Being that the Lanterns are working for S.H.I.E.L.D. Who is actually in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. at the moment? Or would it be better to just gloss over the actual higher ups at the moment? Just refer to the higher ups they get orders from as "The ever elusive boss who doesn't trust the Alien and the Jet Jockey and their magic rings he got dumped with by the President" or would Nick Fury or Maria Hill or another agent be alright to use? Speaking of, also, who is the current US President in the game? Please can it be Prez?

@mattmanganon

It'd probably be better to gloss over the higher ups, if possible. Makes things easier for any crossovers you'd want to plan out in the future, or if anyone else wanted to utilize SHIELD and had specific ideas. Then I'd say you and that player could figure out a specific director to go with. I don't have much of a preference.

As far as President, right now I'd stick with Biden and see what happens from there. It plays more into the idea that this is more or less our world (with mutants) until the week this starts in, when everything changes and history takes a different course. When a new President is elected, then we can go with someone from the comics.

Ah so for the same reason Powergirl has big boobs and her cleavage is always on show.

Could you not show us cleavage instead?

I hope you all enjoyed Post 1, cause I'm working on post 2. Since this is my last day off till next Tuesday, figured I'd get one done.

@Roman

Nope! The most important characters I have my eye on are the Morlocks lol.

I'm planning to take it at a casual pace and post every Sunday. Expect Firebird on the 11th and Titans to start on the 18th! Then I'll alternate them going forward. ;)

The Sitwell's have generational history of service in the name of the United States of America; but you won't find them decorated in the annals of history, their names carved into memorial plaques, or even remembered at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. In his day, Jasper's grandfather - Jason Sitwell - was instrumental in the suppression of the mutant pandemic, working under the banner of a clandestine branch of the U.S. Government known as the Supreme Headquarters, International Espionage and Law-Enforcement Division. In Jasper's time, the organization has evolved, and so has its name, the branch referred to now as the Strategic Hazard Intervention Espionage Logistics Directorate.

Either way, the Sitwell's have always, and likely will always, work for SHIELD, and their family's legacy is a colorful story of dubious service in the name of the greater good of the nation.

But you'll never hear about that.

Just like you won't hear about what Jasper's going to start working on next.

"Mornin' Sitwell."

Jasper lifted his sleep-heavy head and turned away from the droning buzz of the coffee machine to look at his colleague. The face was briefly familiar but he couldn't for the life of him place a name. How many people had he seen come through over the years? Between his father's and his own tenure, the numbers must have ranged in the thousands.

"Good morning, agent." He eventually replied, using a professional posture and brusque, authoritative tone to cover the fact that he had no idea who he was talking to. The coffee machine stopped buzzing and Jasper lifted the mug to his lips, taking a deep sniff of the steaming coffee before sipping gingerly. It burnt his tongue, but it tasted good, and held the promise of making him feel a bit more awake by the time he drained the cup.

"Much on your plate today?" The mystery agent asked as Jasper shuffled over and allowed him access to the coffee. Jasper sipped more from his mug, thinking on the stack of manila folders he'd walked away from yesterday, and was imminently about to walk into.

"The usual." He replied, to which the agent gave a solemn nod. ‘Sitwell’ was a familiar name to many in the organisation, and while Jasper’s official role was as one of their leading interrogation agents, in truth he was something of a general dog’s body; he had the breadth of knowledge to assist on nearly any assignment, and the network to navigate himself only to the ones he found interesting.

He’d been navigating himself less and less recently. SHIELD had become, for lack of a better word, boring.

“Well, have a good day.” Jasper said, after a lengthy pause between the two that had long become awkward. He retreated from the canteen back towards his office, wishing the front walls were made of something considerably more opaque than the partially-frosted glass that was currently in place. He’d already finished his coffee by the time he sat down, and wondered how many folders he’d peruse before boredom bid him to fetch a refill.

Not that many, as it would turn out.
