With his apartment and his college department office destroyed during the Apocalypse attack on the city Casey was getting the feeling that it might be smart to head home for a while and figure out what he wanted to do next.

He gave work his two week notice and checked into a hotel which he could stay at till he was finished with work and could get a flight back home. While Ma would be pleased to have him home after being so far away she and Da would want him to figure out what he was doing next sooner rather than later.

Still it would be nice to be home for a while and get a chance to hang out with his lads back home that he hadn’t seen in a while.

Tessa was feeling lost. Weapon X, the only family and home she had known, was gone. The team had disbanded and Tessa was left on her own. She hadn't been sure what to do or where to go. She wandered a bit and eventually found herself in New York.

She wandered the city a bit and found herself outside an apartment building in the Upper East Side.

The place seemed familiar for some reason, but she couldn't place it. She felt like she had been here before, but she /knew/ she hadn't been here before. It was a weird feeling. If she only knew why.

Michael came to the Defenders' building to pick Sydney up to check out the Dickens exhibit. He was looking forward to seeing it with her.

The results are in: Everyone wants a piece of X-Factor.

He's gotten offers from Letterman and Leno. Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein want to speak to Jason about joint projects.  Slash and Gene Simmons thinks DJ and Pauline are the future of music. Harry is morphing into a young heartthrob; between the ladies from The View and Oprah, the young man might never know another day of obscurity in his life.

And Julian's thinking he may need to get another phone if the Owner of Suicide Girls doesn't stop trying to blow his up about having Lisa do a shoot for them.  Besides, Maxim wants first dibs.

As for Julian, bumping into Jay-Z at a recent after-party (he can't remember where) landed him a spot in Rihanna's newest video.

X-Factor's star was rising higher with each passing day, and he still hadn't had time to tell the team about X-Factor Plaza yet. He'd have to get them all together, but time was conspiring against them. And there was still the World Tour, actions figures and everyone's solo ventures to discuss. Not to mention his trip to New Orleans to open up another nightclub. 

Julian asks Paulo to call the rest of the team to the Outcast to discuss the next step in their adventure together and set down some rules. This is probably also a good time to give anyone who wants out the chance to get out clean.

The citizens of Nova Roma were responsible residents of the Amazon Rainforest. They didn't waste resources, they used every part of everything, they worked with the land instead of clearing it and they recycled everything they could. They had learned these methods thousands of years ago from the local tribes not long after establishing their settlement.

Citizens from the colony would venture out into the jungle on a daily basis to gather the herbs, plants, fruit and other items they needed. Wood was gathered from the forest floor instead of chopping down trees whenever it was possible.

Today the citizens that ventured out did not return.
