Parvaneh Shahidi of Project: Ascension, who 'discovered' and named it, believes atavism explains the tales of gods and heroes in ancient myth.

Not meanin to split hairs, here, but she weren't the only one who 'discovered' and named it.

Well, I know the timing's god awful, and we still got a helluva lot to discuss, but I'd like to take a moment to introduce all y'all to our newest member of the Movement: Shep Beauregard. Reckon he'll be real useful here at Headquarters, what with him being a walking bottle of Advil and all.

ARE YOU OUTTA YOUR GODDAMN MIND???

My brother Garret joined the Project. Consider anything you say to him going forward their intel. He's not to be trusted.

Y'all will forgive me for being a touch quiet these last couple of days. Got myself a head cold like you wouldn't believe.

Afraid we’ve come to a standstill in figuring out these fancy supersuits taken from The Project. We just don’t have the technology or the smarts here to run proper diagnostics beyond me repeatedly jumpin off the roof.

What are our thoughts on peacefully […] “borrowing” one of the scientists who worked on these things?

[LEO]

Got a favor to ask you, Electroman.

[Garret]

Reckon you're ready to go a few rounds with your big brother? Gayatri tells me those powers of yours are gettin real slick.

[Martin]

Fancy a little Freelance work?

[Aidan]

Just checkin you haven't changed your mind about this weekend. :)

Alright, y'all. I've just about had it with us fugitive folk not having access to the greater network. Leo, what can we do to reverse this? Whose palms do we gotta grease?

Well, turns out I not only have commenting access to this here network, I got posting access too! Hats off to Leo, he sure is a master at his craft.

Howdy. I'm Dr. Jackson Galloway, one of the original members of MAL, also known as the Movement for Atavist Liberation. Here's proof: [picture of a be-stubbled Jackson sitting propped up in bed, holding a sign that reads 'HOWDY, AMA']

Can I get a check-in on all MAL Personnel?

Here's what we know: Jakob was running the regular midtown route with The Mother. Currently parked on 3rd and 45th — not too far yonder from our old friends over in The Chrysler building. Considering our half of The Idol's recent abnormal activity, I'm wondering if this is (tangentially) related. Think our statue and there's might be talking to each other?

We're also gonna need a couple of operatives whose powers are behaving to go secure The Mother, too.

[SENIOR MAL]

This is an uncomfortable topic, and I hate to be the one to bring it up, but the folks over at P:A are gonna start looking into Heather's disappearance — if they haven't already, Lord help us — and we're gonna need our asses to be covered. Last thing we want is them pinning us for a murder that didn't happen.

Thoughts?

[Patrick]

I got so many questions I don't know where to start.

[Aidan]

So I guess I oughta tell you: my brother's in town.

[Garret]

You settling in ok? Need anything?

Can't say I particularly care much for either team this year, but I'm hosting my annual Superbowl Viewing Party all the same. Welcome to bring what you want, but rest assured my famous Galloway Chicken Wings (and hot sauce) will be supplied, as usual. Figured we all need to let off a little steam, least for a few hours.

[GAYATRI KAUR]

Hey Doc. Got someone for you.



Might wanna have a fire blanket handy.
