Furthermore XFI is responsible for the gathering of state side intelligence. This could simply be their contacts, sympathetic police officers, contacts withing the business and political communities or CI's they cultivate warning them about possible attacks on mutants or rallies by the FOH. Their contacts are spread across a broad swathe of society and so are capable of bringing a number of issues to the attention of XFI who can then stitch it together to form a wider picture of mutant related activities in the US. With the wide spread net they can cast they could be a very good info source for the other teams, such as the X-men or even XF. The ability to get info where the others cant and vice-versa seems to be an important part of the game in P2.

X-Factor Investigations
Xfactorinv-small.jpg
First Seen: January 2015




"Through dedication and perseverance, we specialize in finding answers."


A street level investigative team designed to focus on mutant issues and mutant related crime. It is also the street level intelligence in the US, often used as the key agent in finding emerging mutants and mutants in trouble with local authorities. They are closest to the underground mutant communities and 'mutant railroads' out of less tolerant communities.

Details

XFI is a private investigation firm incorporated by holdings owned by Warren Worthington III, Sue Storm, and Quentin Quire. They operate from an office suite in a building owned by Warren Worthington, based out of District X. There is a penthouse on the top floor, and the rest of the building is mixed business and living.

A Chinese food place is situated within the same complex.

The firm was reopened by Adrienne Frost and Warren Worthington after the events of M-Day in 2015.

In 2019, Warren stepped down after a brush with the demonic forces, and promoted Lorna into the role of Boss. Quentin bought into XFI in early 2023, following the death of his father. When Lorna left the firm in 2023, Warren's shares defaulted back to him.

Previous team members include Adrienne Frost, Jessica Jones, Lorna Dane, Alex Summers, and Maya Lincoln-Lopez.

Scope

The following was compiled by the XFI players.


Does XFI take cases outside of District X?: Yes. Nationwide.


What level of cases does XFI take? (Blue collar, white collar, no collar, dog collar?): All collars. They help companies with evidence-gathering, do client work on an individual basis, and help set up mutant safehouses. Their Mutant Underground contacts were burned in early 2023 due to the events of Case File: The Underbelly Project.


When do they draw the line? Normally at emotional/financial manipulation, threats, slight roughing-ups, etc, but very occasionally someone MIGHT become overwhelmed when confronting a Very Bad Person and cross the line to murder. The team, in general, does not condone murder.


What is their intent? Is it to solve mutant problems? The intent of the team is to solve small-scale problems on an individual basis, SUCH AS (but not limited to) making sure the girl who's gone missing is found alive and given a safe place to sleep for the night, finding the purse a young mutant had stolen by purse-snatchers because the cops can't/won't help, finding out who robbed a mutant couple's bodega, or making sure that the accounting firm framing a mutant employee for a crime they did not commit is caught in the act so the mutant can have peace of mind and the firm is dissuaded from trying such a stunt again. Basically, the intent is to be the team in the game that deals first with individual people and their loved ones.


Furthermore XFI is responsible for the gathering of state side intelligence. This could simply be their contacts, sympathetic police officers, contacts within the business and political communities or CI's they cultivate warning them about possible attacks on mutants or rallies by the FOH. Their contacts are spread across a broad swathe of society and so are capable of bringing a number of issues to the attention of XFI who can then stitch it together to form a wider picture of mutant related activities in the US. With the wide spread net they can cast they could be a very good info source for the other teams, such as the X-Men or even XF.


How do they work with the Mutant Underground? They maintain relationships with cell leaders across the continental United States, and have safehouses and contacts across the country to assist with the movement of those who need it. XFI helps maintain waystations, and channel funds and supplies to the people who are actively shuttling around mutants.


What's their end goal? To provide answers, peace-of-mind, and aid in the protection for mutants who have no recourse through traditional law-enforcement or other societal avenues.
