(Sorry everyone, was out of town this weekend, and will be out of town again from Wed.-Sun. But for now I will use my awesome GC powers and say that everyone has spoken with White and entered the room, just because this is taking too long)
Phalan looked at the assembly before him, "Very well, let us begin," he flipped a switch on the arm of his chair and the robot arms lifted everyone's seat about ten feet off the ground and then turned them to face a very large screen. The screen flashed and turned on, displaying the M.A.G.I. logo, "Presentation 3," Phalan said, "Authorization 4B-7Y."
"Accessing," a computerized female voice replied. Then the screen changed, and displayed an image of earth.
"As you know, the world had been through many changes in the past thousand years," Phalan began, "The re-discovery of magic changed the way human's lived forever. Now, history will tell you that in 2254 magic was re-discovered by an archological team on a dig in Eastern Egypt. Thy found a tomb, yada-yada-yada, you know the rest," as he spoke the images changed on the screen to match his monologue, "However, this is not at all what actually happened. Magic was actually discovered in 2087, completely by accident. An archeologist named Dr. Marcus DeRoley was excavating a crypt in Wales, a crypt that was belived to have been used to bury Druid Priests. Inside the crypt he discovered a doorway, made of a material that we have yet to identify. He succeded in opening the door and discovered a great underground temple. The Temple held a seal on the Magic of the Earth. Fortunately DeRoley was not a fool and did not release the seal. Instead he spent the next thirty years exploring and researching these ruins. From this research he discovered that there were five other temples like these on earth. He found the other five, Fire, Water, Wind, Astral, and Spirit, and excavated them. After much interferance by what was then the U.S. Government, he released the seal.
For the next two hundred years magic was controlled and utilized, mixing it with technology to create machines and structures that would have been impossible without such power. In 2350, the first incident occured. A man named Orson Felsoe discovered he possesed magic powers far beyond that of any other being on earth. He began a rampage, taking whatever he wanted from wherever he happened to be. History remembers him as the infamous criminal mastermind called The Unicorn, and for twenty years he terrorized the world, however he is thought to be no more than human. This was the first appearance of a power similar tot he Godmod, and further research showed that it was the magic of the temple's that was empowering Orson. In an effort to remove the source of his power, the temples were uprooted, blasted of into space, and placed on five different planets across the galaxy. The plan worked, and Orson was rendered powerless and finally brought down. However, magic continued to thrive on earth, a fact that worried the new world government, for if one man could obtain such power once, what would stop such an... anomaly from occuring again?
In 2627, the prophecy came, the fortelling of an Almighty being, the Godmod. From there on, you know what happened, we discover the Th'meil, they find out what we've done and are coming to kill us," the screen flashed off and the chairs lowered back to the ground, Phalan turned to face the group, "The reason we have called you here today is because we've been watching you, which is our job, there are few people on this planet who's daily activites we don't know about. But we have been watching you, and from what we gather you each posess great skill with a certain element, skill beyond that of anyone you have ever met. Because you are all so powerful (although you may not know the full extent of your power) we belive that one of you, is the Godmod."
(If no one sees Shadowfare soon then the Astral Element will be open for a new member)
