With negotiations with the "terrorists called The Faction" hitting an impasse and everyday people starting to talk about mutant rights, it was decided that it was time to force public opinion to sway back to the patriotic side. Only a handful of people knew of the plan, and none of them mutants. The General overseeing the Destruction Island Project, his second and a small team of five were all in the know. Late Sunday night after the Facility had closed for the day the team, acting as if they were doing patrols, set a charge of explosives strategically. The intent was to have a lot of flash with very little bang. They weren’t trying to hurt people, but they wanted it to look like someone wanted to hurt people.
Monday morning, around 10am after people started to show for work, trainings, check-ups, etc. a loud explosion was heard that rocked the building. The Facility itself was not a new construct but rather a repurposed former military structure, it was old and probably out of code. So unbeknownst to those who set the explosives, there would be a lot more bang as the blast loosened a support beam and almost like a domino effect, ceilings started to collapse all over the place. By 10:30 most of the island was helping with the evacuation and rescue. Mutants used their powers to help, some people were trapped for days while the rubble was cleared. Air pockets were created in some instances to pass food and water, but risks came with the instability of some of the debris and the need to clear it out before people could be rescued. Even the teleporters didn’t want to risk disrupting some of the areas that weren’t as sturdy.
