2) Its a Brave New World with Specials outted by Claire--on TV-- my thinking is the US military, CIA,FBI , local Law enforcement would be interested in having Specials work for them. What do you think?
I have more Questions but will submit them at a later time.
I will take the easy one.. lol..
2) I personally (just my opinion) I think its been done already in the storyline... you could do a continuation of where they left off and fill in gaps? or you could look at it differently.. I don't think the world would except them.. its human nature.. and I think they are somehow caught in a loop.. like a rift. they need to grow and add more depth to the people they are now. "where did they come from?" "how are they connected?" thats what stumps me.
Specials working within the gov't has only happened between as a secret agreement individuals between individuals i.e Matt and Audrey , FBI; Sylar and Danko, HLS.
That's not the same as federal and local govt's actively recruiting Specials to do jobs.
Its "human nature" for people not to accept minorities of all kinds , eventually we do.
The world doesn't have to accept Specials for gov'ts to use them.
Gays have been in the US military & gov't for years, they just haven't been "out" .
Similar attitude towards Specials.
Where did Specials come from?
Harvard paleontologist (also taught biology, geology and the history of science at Harvard) ,Stephen Jay Gould years ago demonstrated that evolution can happen relatively fast given certain circumstances.
Cladogenesis is an evolutionary splitting event in a species in which each branch and its smaller branches forms a "clade", an evolutionary mechanism and a process of adaptive evolution that leads to the development of a greater variety of sister organisms. This event usually occurs when a few organisms end up in new, often distant areas or when environmental changes cause several extinctions, opening up ecological niches for the survivors. An example of cladogenesis today is the Hawaiian archipelago, to which stray organisms traveled across the ocean via ocean currents and winds. Most of the species on the islands are not found anywhere else on Earth due to evolutionary divergence.
Cladogenesis is often contrasted with anagenesis, in which gradual changes in an ancestral species lead to its eventual "replacement" by a novel form (i.e., there is no "splitting" of the phylogenetic tree).
Perhaps Specials are humans adapting to a degraded enviornment;
or the product of a centuries long breeding program; or for that matter a reaction to cosmic events like an Eclipse.
