[The feed turns on with Erik dressed in a simple black turtleneck, looking out a window. He's sipping on a mug of coffee, and he takes his own damn time before looking at the camera. The helmet is not on--but it's nearby, sitting on a table.]

So with the change in day, it appears we will be going on another mission. They rightfully know giving us any long stretch of time to organize between them would prove disastrous for them.

But we will crack them. This can not last forever.

[He takes another sip of his coffee. His eyes are hard, his jaw set, occasionally flexing as he rolled ideas over in his head.]

A great deal of you saw a post made by a human by the name of Giles, proposing a sort of resistance group.

While I'm sure he's well meaning [Erik barely contains the sneer at the words] but those of us with powers shouldn't have to follow a leader who has none, and wishes the second in command to be...weak.

I refuse to be part of that power structure.

So instead, like Raven said earlier, I am proposing that those of us with powers form an alliance, together. No trial periods, no needs to prove yourself. None of you should have to prove anything--you should be accepted as you are. Even if your abilities are dangerous.

[He smirks, taking another drink of his coffee, placing the mug down. His long fingers ghost over the edges, eyes never leaving the camera.]

Also, unlike the other group,I believe an attack on one is an attack on all.

I will remind those of you who were here, that it was Charles and I who ended the terror brought upon us by the two wizards. I will go to lengths to protect you--ones that Giles seems unable--or unwilling to go to.

That goes for humans and non-humans alike.

[Private to Charles Xavier]

We need to talk. Now.
