- [The Kremlin]
- [Moscow, Russian origin continent]
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The Kremlin. A site that once served as a fortress for the political leaders of the Russian nation many ages ago, it has now been repurposed as a prison to hold some of its most dangerous convicts.
- However, no ordinary convicts are held here. Instead of the normal variety of murderers, thieves, and anarchists, the Kremlin houses criminals of an entirely different class: Post-Humans, the children of tomorrow, the so-called gifted members of humanity, a potentially global menace.
- This super prison serves to house some of the most dangerous individual Post-Humans in the world; the whole complex was rebuilt from the ground up to be able to contain their varied and incredible abilities.
- Outside of the building, life goes on as usual. The rest of the city's residents pay no mind to the enormous penitentiary complex in the heart of their home, as they've grown used to it. In fact, many appreciate its role in containing these threatening Post-Humans. All is as it should be. Or rather..... it would've been.
- All of a sudden, a car explodes into a fiery pile of scrap metal, sending nearby civilians scattering in all directions. On top of the car's roof, a Post-Human stands as his whole body is covered in flames.
- (Pyrokinetic): I always did love this city! I bet it'd look better with a sea of fire!
- The pyrokinetic Post-Human proceeds to absorb all of the flames from the car wreckage; his own fiery body grows in intensity upon doing so. He then jumps off of the car and begins throwing fire at everything around him, regardless of collateral damage. However, before his pyrokinetic abilities can do any more damage to his surroundings, a small squadron of hoverbikes pulls up and surrounds the Post-Human.
- (C.D.F. Captain): Hostile Post-Human, surrender now, and we won't have to apprehend you by force.
- (Pyrokinetic): Tell ya what, copper..... I'll surrender nice and easy.
- The Post-Human puts up his hands as the Civil Defense Forces continue to train their weapons on him. As he begins to put his hands behind his back, his whole body emits a fire burst that sends all of the officers flying backwards.
- (Pyrokinetic): PSYCHE!!
- He runs down the road, away from the Civil Defense Forces, who are still recovering; they've sustained some burns but are otherwise unharmed.
- (C.D.F. Captain): Just another fire wielder. Snipers, you're clear.
- At the captain's signal, a team of Civil Defense Force snipers stationed on a nearby rooftop takes aim and trains their laser sights on the pyrokinetic fleeing the scene.
- As he continues running away, he stops dead in his tracks and looks down at his chest; several green laser sights are trained on him. The Post-Human looks back up, with an expression clearly showing his disappointment.
- (Pyrokinetic): Oh, son of a bit--
- The snipers fire all of their weapons at once; upon impact, the energy blasts cause a visible electrocution effect. The pyrokinetic spasms wildly as he's shocked before falling unconscious; his flames are extinguished after a few seconds. The other Civil Defense Force officers stroll up towards his unconscious body; one officer puts a pair of hard-light cuffs around the Post-Human's wrists while another loads him up into the back of a police cruiser.

- [Sublevel 9, The Kremlin]
- [Moscow, Russian origin continent]
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Deep within the sublevels of the Kremlin, a few researchers in labcoats are walking down the hallway. One of them looks to be in her late fifties and has fading red hair, whilst the other is a young man with brown hair and glasses. As the two of them pass by the hard-light cells, many of the Post-Human prisoners snicker and yell at the pair, startling the young man but not phasing the woman. Soon enough, the two of them stop in front of one particular cell; it contains the pyrokinetic Post-Human that was subdued yesterday.
- He looks particularly depressed in stark contrast to his gleeful rampage yesterday.
- (Larry Potler): So.... ummm..... this is that new Post-Human?
- (Dr. Anna Maximoff): Yep. Third one this week alone.
- (Larry Potler): I read that he's, uh, a pyrokinetic. What makes this one different?
- (Dr. Anna Maximoff): Apparently, he can actually absorb flames to increase his power. Managed to actually scratch the Civil Defense Force.
- (Larry Potler): Umm, ma'am? May I ask something?
- (Dr. Anna Maximoff): Go ahead, Mr. Potler.
- (Larry Potler): Well, see, my boyfriend has recently been exhibiting some..... things. I was wondering if--
- (Dr. Anna Maximoff): Don't worry, Mr. Potler, we won't bring him in if he agrees to join the G.U.D.'s protection program.
- (Larry Potler): Okay, good.
