The thread: Ladies and Gentlemen of the Press (http://www.sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?t=22398)

As part of the X-Force idea that was floated around for LA a year or so ago, Jenny and Dee cooked up a company called Treadstone Industries. Now that we're all posting and what-not again, we're starting to rekindle that idea again; and part of that is called (for totally non plaguristic reasons) Applied Sciences.
The thread linked at the top gives you the gist. The basic idea is that Tom Harriman (and his team of researchers, if there are other scientists at a loose end) will be trying to discover how mutant powers work using science. If they can work out how to conjure lightning out of thin air, create protective force fields, 'magically' make it rain, there would be a whole slew of world wide problems that could be solved overnight. Hell, we might even end up with flying cars.
The main purpose of the thread is to establish the idea in-character, in case there are any people in Los Angeles who might want to volunteer and show off their powers. It is also a potential "in" with Treadstone for some characters who might end up doing X-Force stuff, which some people are already planning to make use of. :)
Having said that... though we don't have a ton of news reporters, if there's a question you think needs asking you can always post as your person watching the press conference on the news / in the crowd, and have them hear the question get asked, or whatever. :uhoh
