Team, full disclosure:

My powers are acting up. They were a combat liability during Hope's arrival last night.

My control has temporarily slipped. It comes and goes but it's pretty likely that I'll just make light and colour when I use them, instead of whatever I want to generate.

Linked to that, my primary speech devices are offline, because they also rely on my powers.

I'm removing myself from field work (not that I do much of that now) effective immediately until this is resolved.

A very wise decision. Please keep us updated.

Did this just start last night? Do you think it is due to our new arrival?

I hope it's just fatigue and resolves quickly, but what do you think about putting a dossier together on the dustups various folks have had recently? Someone could've unknowingly brought something hinky back.

Do we know if anyone else is having weirdness - extra sensitivity, new manifests, anything like that?

I mean, the security alarms were actually in my head last night, but I thought I just forgot to fully unhook from my phone.

Come to think of it, something weird happened to me the other morning, before Hope. I was downstairs grabbing some milk since we were out and as I was pouring it into some random mug, I had this... vision? From Arthur's POV, driving a car really crazily in New York. I figured it was just something the city had coughed up, but now I'm wondering if it's related to Artie's issues. Arthur's got some kind of psi-thing with his powers, doesn't he?

Yeah... hm. Okay, we definitely need a workup on who has been where and interacted with what, then. And find out if anyone else has had weird visions, if any of the other psi-and-adjacent types are having issues with their powers... see if we can get any sort of radius or timestamp on it.

Hey Marie-Ange, how's your little... imps and stuff? That's psi, right?

My imaging power is mental, and astral, so yes, probably psi. So far I have not had any incidents I am aware of. I can sense the images when they are active, and I do not have any current awareness of any that are loose or roaming free.

Okay that's.. that's good. I'm working up a spreadsheet but I'm not really going to pester people until between the holidays or after.

Yeah and we're probably a quarter of them.

Admittedly I'd tell people on a need to know basis.

Not to my knowledge, but similar to my own powers... unless he randomly starts switching languages or suddenly can't use them then I'm not sure we'd actually notice? Difficulty with subtle powers, similar to when we started getting each other's powers. I had a concussion, we only figured out whose powers I'd received by the power of elimination.

But yeah, we can do that. And we can feel out the people that are more likely to actually mention if they've had an uptick or new expression of their powers - Arthur seems like a reasonable start, if people are starting to see his memories.

Emma's away enough that if it is something mansion based I don't think she'd really get exposed, but worth asking her if she's had any weirdness either.

So far I haven't noticed anything, other than maybe a smidge of communication lag with the friendos. General translation and pattern recognition seems fine.
