The Manitoulin Interview
by drkraven01
Setting is a petro canada gas station in the town of South Baymouth, on Manitoulin Island, Henry Mcoy and David Suzuki are refueling the mini van.
Camera on Henry
"Hello, I'm Dr Henry Mcoy, Filling in for David while he traumatizes a defenceless gas pump. Welcome to the nature of things."
Henry turns to look out at the bay, and the camera follows his gaze, Henry contimues to speak off camera,
"We are on Manitoulin island. Home to some very unique ecosystems, and species. The island is unspoilt by development or heavy industry, and is home to several thriving and vibrant, native comunitys."
The camera continues to pan a full 360, taking in much of the town and surrounding wilderness before returning to Henry,
"Several reservations on the island are working together to promote eco-tourism on the island. They are striving to create a balanced approach that minimizes contamination while alowing tourists to discover the true wonder of nature, in all its splendor."
Cut to next scene, Inside the van, camera is facing front, Henry is driving, Dr Dave is in shotgun seat, turned to face back toward camera,
"While I'm here to help establish a native run eco-tourism industry, Henry has come to advise native educators, who are trying to establish a school for mutants on the island."
Camera shifts slightly to focus on Henry,
"Indeed David, Because of the islands relative genetic isolation. New genotypes, such as the X gene factor, are able to rapidly 'fix' within the local genome."
Camera back to Dr Dave,
"Because native culture and spirituality places humanity within nature, rather than above it. Natives as a whole, seem better able to accept human mutation. A relatively high proportion of the island's population is X gene positive. Native spiritual leaders are calling this a blessing. And the native comunity wants their mutants to be able to live normal lives within the comunity. This of course requires that mutants with special abilitys, be properly trained to control those abilitys. To avoid unfortunate accidents."
Cut to next scene, Inside a meeting hall, A dozen or so native leaders sit opposite to Dr Dave and Henry, two of the leaders are visible mutants, One very old woman is standing at the center of the room, She wears traditional ceremonial robes, She is addressing Henry,
"Welcome Dr Mcoy,"
Stiffled laughter,
"We appreciate your willingness to respect our needs as a comunity. We have lost five generations already, to the good intentions of strangers. You do understand."
Camera on Henry,
"While I am not as well informed as I would wish, I am aware of the harm done by the residential school system. I can assure you, I have no intention of repeating that particular travesty. Historicaly we have showen ourselves to be untrustworthy. I appreciate your willingness to give us another chance."
Henry opens a briefcase and offers the old woman several thick folders,
"I have asked a number of my coleagues to present their ideas and oppinions, As well as guidelines for a new school. These folders are all the litterature I was able to assemble. I certainly hope the information will be usefull.. There are a number of theoretical models for a mutant school. But ultimately only you can determine what is best for your comunity."
Henry closes the briefcase and smiles,
"There are a number of staff from the accademy who have expressed an interest in offering their temporary assistance. It is my personal oppinion that having a few properly trained advizors on hand, would be a good idea. Untill your own staff gain the necessary experience."
Camera on the old woman,
"Thank you Dr Mcoy, Anyone from Professor Xavier's school will be quite welcome to assist."
She taps the side of her head with one finger,
"However I would appreciate that the snowy woman please stop trying to intrude in my mind. When you return to New York, please remind her that I've been a freind of the fire woman for many years."
She smiles as an aura of flame briefly surrounds her,
Cut to next scene, Outside in parking lot, It's just Henry and Dr Dave in front of the van,
Henry is speaking to Dr Dave,
"She is a very powerfull telepath David. I do hope she will be the one to run the school... She seems to be an old freind of someone I know."
Both men turn to enter the van,
Scene fade to black,
Cut to next scene, Dr Dave standing outside the Metro Toronto Zoo
"That concludes tonights show. Join us next week, as we explore the psychology of our closest relatives, Chimpanzees."
Fade to black,
Closing credits,
Thankyou GothikStrawbery, I'm trying to capture all the x men, each in their own story, Is Henry in character?
