MI13 Disbanded

Lord Ferguson

Lord Alistair Ferguson announced the final details of the disbandment of the government super agency MI13.   Lord Ferguson; as the former New Crusader 'Caber' helped to save the world from the Sentry Virus among other threats and retired due to injury. Standing in Westminster the news concerning the agency was grim but not unexpected.

'It came as no surprise when I was announced as the man to sort out the mess that had become MI13. It came as no surprise when I announced the disbandment of the organisation last week. It comes as no surprise to anyone that the fire at the super prison that contained all of our prisoners in connection with the  corruption at MI13 claimed the lives of all those inmates including former Directors Wisdom and Chapman.

Sadly, I'm not surprised about that either.

This is where the buck stops. I want you to have the truth. The truth is that MI13 were engaged in a multi dimensional conflict, as they always reported, but that that conflict was not totally about the protection of this country or this dimension, the campaign was controlled by an organisation that wished to control this world when the war was over. I can confirm that the dimensional war is over but I believe that the fight is not yet finished.

MI13 could not continue as an operating agency. The rot was just too deep. But I can confirm that The Black Knight and Blade have been cleared of any crimes committed under Joseph Chapman as both men were being external influenced. I can also confirm that Union Jack and Aspect are free heroes that have no allegations of wrong doing to answer to. In further I'd like to thank these two heroes, along with their team mates in the Crusaders for exposing the corruption systemic in the halls of MI13.

Union Jack stepped in and has done a fine job of helping us to restore order and find out if this organisation could be saved and giving us the strength to realise that MI13 had to be shut forever.

I am here to tell you that this is not the end of British organised Super Powered defence. It is the beginning. We will be working together in this government to form a new way of interfacing with our active and inactive super powered beings. We will be working towards drawing up a new form of agreement between the powered community and the independent heroes; one that brings a greater understanding between the two schools of thought without compromising either side.

Until that time we gladly give our support to the Crusaders as they continue to take the fight to the damaging and external influences which threaten our country and even our world.

With heroes like these fine individuals we really couldn't want for better protectors.

In the weeks to come I believe The Crusaders will find their backs up against the wall. I would like to make this governments stand point completely clear to all concerned; The Crusaders are HEROES, ever single one of them has risked their lives to defend this country and this world. When the enemy comes after our HEROES I would ask you, the people of Britain to back these find men and women.

MI13 have had their bases shut today. Their operatives will be reassigned and the funds allocated to them frozen and redistributed. Be patient and remember to back the good guys in the coming days.

Thank you.'

Lord Ferguson took no questions and refused top confirm rumours that all of the original New Crusaders were now dead, including Union Black who was housed at the same prison as the MI13 directors.
