The president of the Confederacy called Biff up to his office. He inquired as to what had happened over in the Republic of Texas. When he had heard what Biff had asked of the Texans, the reaction was...less than the usual stoic demeanor of the President. "Good God, man! You never attempt to ask for territory from another nation! That could be interpreted as a first step towards a declaration of war!" The president halted for a brief moment, regaining his stoic demeanor and organizing his thoughts. He needed to take these next steps carefully. Biff held a fair deal of sway with the congressional parties, so it would be a poor idea to have this man spurned. The president did not want to have the congress turned against him. It could prove fatal to the young Confederacy.
"Biff, your loyalty is commendable, but it seems that your diplomatic skills are not what we need at the current level of aggression that is being displayed at this event which could prove fatal. I do remember that you were able to organize many a successful events to raise the support for the foundation of our Confederacy. I would like you to work upon the organization of the diplomatic departments, which seem to be lacking the level of organization that you could provide for it. I also would like for you to sent the best team you can create to apologize to the Republic of Texas for the demands made at the conference, and an inquiry as to whether they would reconsider the non aggression pact so that the entirety of the Mississippi river may be safe for those companies that still utilize barges to transport their cargo, which would bring advantageous trade to both of our great nations."
After this, the president dismissed the chief diplomat, who's expression conveyed a slight impression of happiness. Turning back to the papers he had arrayed upon his desk, he gave the orders to continue the search for a suitable place for a location to construct a national capital. The effort required to reorganize a already existing city to a national capital would prove to be too difficult and was still too costly than just construction a new one, and while D.C. was now safe, the former capital of the United States held too many memories of corruption, and was fitted in a location that would prove too isolated from the rest of the nation, and too close to a border that could be invaded across from.
The president then returned to the reports of mutant abilities within the populace. The president looked over these with interest, but a though was nagging at the back of his head. There was a distinct possibility that these people could come under fire from other citizens that still cling onto a racist attitude. Racism was strong enough against people whose only difference was skin tone, then it had the potential to be many times this if those accused were able to demonstrate abilities that were not even human. Therefore, the president decides to set up an institution where those who have been granted unusual abilities from mutation can learn and study their abilities within a stable environment free from any potential hatred that could be directed at them. He needed a leader for this, but not any would do. It needed to be one of them, but a man with stable morals, and preferably pacifistic tendencies, in addition to being a man with a likable personality. He looked through the listings, and found a genetics professor that fit those qualifications. In addition, the abilities that he was said to have was one which was able to calm furious entities blinded by rage to the point of docility. The president then contacts this man, and asks if he (the professor) would like to be in charge of the facility.
