It’s going to take time for the world to adjust. Change is confusing and frightening and at times violent. This isn’t going to be pretty, folks. But we’re not here to get in the middle of a war.

I’m declaring New Millennium a place of peace, a home and refuge for those of us who need one. Anyone with magic is welcome here, so long as you harm no one. We’ve also opened up our medical facilities to anyone in need. Don’t worry about cost or transportation. Contact us with your situation, and we’ll do what we can to help.

There’s no such thing as a utopia. The world has problems, and so will we. To that end, we will work with the world to help you bring magical criminals to justice. New Millennium will not be a haven for any who want death or violence.

This is our home. I intend to make it a place of hope. A place you can bring your loved ones for medical treatment. A place where we can look forward, where we can show you exactly how awesome magic can be.

New Millennium can’t stop your wars. What we can do is set our sights higher. We mean to build a path to the stars, and to the future.

I hope you’ll join us.
