WORDS OF WISDOM

MI13 have been accused of dodging the vigilante situation on the streets of Britain recently but that can no longer be the case as the head of the organisation, Peter Wisdom, gave this news agency an exclusive interview yesterday. Though the chief of operations at MI13 was pushed for time we were given a tour and then invited to ask him anything we wanted.
The instillation that houses MI13 operations has recently moved to a large disused industrial estate and has undertaken massive works on the area to make it fit their needs. They have runways, science blocks, detention areas and medical facilities as well as offices and a half decent cafe if, as Mr Wisdom advises, you stay away from the Kiesh.
We conducted the interview after he had debriefed a group of agents who had just returned from a supernatural investigation in the south east of England.

CC: Thank you for your time Mr Wisdom.
PW: Not a problem, its important to connect with the outside world and show people what we are up too, helps keep the rumours to a minimum.
CC: So, just to run through the simple changes at your organisation recently, you've set up and are over seeing another branch of the organisation called the Interdimensional Observation and Reaction Department, or the I.O.R.D for short. Headed by Captain Britain they monitor any threats to this country and world from other dimensions and react to them as appropriate, this has obviously taken the captain away from Britain much in the same way that all Captain Britain's seem to get dragged into Interdimensional affairs.
PW: Its true the job comes with that draw back, i know the Captain would like nothing more than to be heading up the Crusaders and keeping Britain safe but believe me the threats from other dimensional forces are far more dangerous. I would tell you, but then id have to get Blade to kill you.
CC: Glad you brought Blade up, are you still blocking the extradition orders form the U.S.A for the renegade hero and self professed vampire hunter that IS still wanted for murder?
PW: Take a look at the evidence, ask yourself if you really believe if vampires exist, then ask me.
CC: Do vampires really exist Mr Wisdom?
PW: Of course they do! We were attacked by them just a year and a half ago and if not for the find work of Blade and Fury we would all be crawling over each other to become blood dolls to avoid the murder of our families. These creatures are real, the extradition orders were signed by Norman Osborn and just yesterday i spoke with the new Director of S.H.I.E.L.D Steve Rogers and he assured me that they were cancelling all warrants for his arrest. Blade is a free man and a hero.
CC: So you have MI13 agents backing up your super elements, Captain Britain hitting the Interdiemnsional bad guys and you also have links to New Earth on LV426 where many Ex Crusaders are keeping that world safe. If everything is so well tied up why don't we see MI13 heroes patrolling the streets like the New York City heroes?
PW: We follow credible supernatural and super human threats to this country. It basically doesn't leave time for our guys to go wandering about in spandex showing off.
CC: Does that mean you don't appreciate the spate of Vigilante actions on the streets at present?
PW: In fact its the opposite, we invite those who can to do what they can. We want them to help their communities and the local law enforcement officers as much as possible, i would urge them to make sure they are staying within their loose barriers of control. Making sure they are still part of the solution and not part of the problem.
CC: Meaning?
PW: Well, if they avoid the use of excessive violence, don't kill anyone and make sure they are looking out for the publics well being then i don't have a problem with them at all. Good on them in fact. But of course if they overstep the line then we come in.
CC: Are you willing to hunt down the a vigilante that gets out of hand?
PW: If they get out of hand and the police request MI13 back up then we will have too. I don't see it coming to that though, I've met alot of heroes and they all seem to know the line, tow the line and are fighting for the best of reasons. Things can go wrong, mistakes can be made, but most of the time its all misunderstandings or frame ups. You have to be made of pretty stern stuff to pull on the tights.

At this point Mr Wisdom's alarms go off and someone walks in a passes him a technical pad. He nods at them and without missing a beat he stands and offers me his hand.

PW: Sorry, somethings come up. Stand around here for more than an hour and you'll know that that's pretty much how it is all the time.
CC; Thank you for your time and good luck in your mission Mr Wisdom.
PW: No problems, if your lucky i'll try and get the Captain to give you an interview next time hes in, great guy, great Captain Britain.
CC: We look forward to it.

We are escorted from the base and now following our interview i think i can safely tell you that though they may be able to stop vast hordes of Vampires and interdimensional invasion forces, they simply wont be about to rescue cats from trees or clean up bad areas. Looks like that duty still falls to us and the heroes amidst us.

Verity Luce.
