Re: Report on --

Krystal looked up from her virtual-keypad and sighed...

How to sum up the wild events of the last 4 months?!

She had gone on a sabbatical from her job at The Sentinel and taken time off from her main duties as a B.A.D.G.E. field agent, though she occasionally patrolled her assigned sector, and helped in raids.

As her pregnancy had finally (fae tend towards long gestations, but over three years was pushing it, even so...) neared its term, Puck's prediction came true... she began having minor magical 'fluctuations' during the final weeks.

She would sneeze, and someone nearby would momentarily become a fairy, or a cat, or... well you get the idea... She'd get the hiccups, and her hair color or skin color would become quite a bizarre array of differing hues... nothing dangerous, and in hindsight sometimes rather amusing.

Her husband Alex, finally released from his responsibilities as Head of THe Royal Guard of Fae-re, joined her in the HR Dimension, and as expected exposure to Morphons reactivated his previous SHC meta-abilities. Taking the name Alex Fae-Murphy, he joined B.A.D.G.E. as a Probationary Field Agent.

Then the blessed event finally occurred, naturally around 4:30 am on the morning of May the 4th, Guinevere Elizabeth Murphy was born. Not only were all the normal natal checks perfect, (fingers, toes, exquisite emerald green eyes) but due to mana exposure and morphon exposure during gestation she was born with a full complement of magical and meta-abilities.

It was quickly determined that, for her own safety, her magical abilities had to be 'bound' and thus Krystal enspelled her to prevent such dangers til she could be taught to control her abilities... unfortunately for her nannies, the fairy squad that joined the parents from Fae-re, her meta-abilities were not so easily hampered.

Yes, it's been quite a satisfying, and sometimes a harrowing, couple of months...

Krystal composed her report, quickly typed it up and sent it off via her comm.
