With growing experience locating and recruiting
young metahumans, the United States government, a.k.a. Special in Charge
Agent Reginald Miller, began to fill out the ranks of what would become
the Minuteman Team Blue. The
first, Ave Alosese, a young American Samoan, came to his attention when
she extinguishing a house fire, started a rapid influx of new recruits.
Becca Acosta, Mike Zykowski, Thomas Nguyen, Dusk Leaf, Ben Thomas, Jack
Vargo and Snowy King soon follow.
A request from the former Sgt. Steel, a member of
the Allies Patriot Team during World War II, placed the newly formed
Legacy Team, Team White, is position requiring quick action. Sgt.
Steel’s great granddaughter had been kidnapped and her father killed.
With the help of several of his former teammates, Sgt. Steel
located his granddaughter in UTAH but being over eighty years old, he
knew his limitations.
Nat Ryan immediately set a plan in motion that
very night and within four hours had rescued the girl from the clutches
of a Survivalist group who had discovered the girl’s metahuman powers of
healing. Legacy avoided killing anyone that night by allowing their only
non-meta freedom of action.
For the second time, Venatrix answered the call, taking out twelve armed
kidnappers. J Watson, fourth
generation Metahuman immediately joined the Legacy and shortly after was
indoctrinated into the Minuteman Project Team Blue.
With the manifestation of Paige Temple, the youngest member of the
Minutemen, the team is complete with a total of ten.
Update 2010
Things don't always work out the way they are planned.
Several months after the Team had reached its target membership of ten,
Ben Thomas, who is the guardian of Jack Vargo and Snowy King, made the
annoucement the three of them would be leaving the Minutemen. Their
collective concern with this move was that the government would be
keeping an eye on the trio for the rest of their lives. Nat Ryan halted
all of Miller's plan to keep them under surveillance and they returned
to their home.
With three members short, a search began for replacements.
This proved more difficult than expected but at last David Adamos, Shaun
Grady and Peter Williams agreed to join. This was a marked change
from the recruiting of teens as all three were somewhat older than the
usual 12 to 16. The rest of the Team is adjusting and Nat keeps a close
eye on things.
Originally Nat had planned to move Kena from the White Team to the
Blue but the addtion of Shaun Grady aka Flameout made that move
unnecessary plus Nat didn't want two fire bugs in the same team. David
Adamos had been located by outside partys and was being held in an
island in the Aegean. It wawsn't the first time Nat Ryan took parts of
is team across international borders. The island was infiltrated, David
was rescued and he agreed to join the Blue Team as Catalyst. Dr. Peter
Williams volunteered to join the group as Synergy. He and Alicia
'Midnight' Cross spend hours in the hanger talking physics. Nat would
not be surprised if the two of them won a Nobel Prize in Physics and
invent an affordable cold fusion reactor.
