Dear Agent Parkman,
The burning bird may be needing the assistance of an experienced and high-finesse cryokinetic who works well under pressure very soon. Do you think you could help us find one? Sorry for the trouble. I know you must be up to your eyes in it right now.

Agent Parkman,
There are four bombs placed on each of the bridges off Manhattan island, placed on structural foundations so that they will completely wipe out the bridges when they go off. Each has a timer, its programmed time yet unknown, and massive explosive payloads that are all disguised by black plastic. The type of explosive is not yet known, but is probably a fairly stable solid of some sort and could be discovered by use of a chem-sniffer. The NYPD's Commissioner is going to get all the bridges shut down very soon and send in a bomb team. They need a cryokinetic to make the detonator as cold as physically possible, buy the expert more time to work.
The plan itself hinges on having an Evolved power amplifier, teleporter, and a forcefield generator to make protective bubbles around the bombs so that one mistake won't necessarily set off a chain reaction that cuts the whole island off. Relatedly, the current theory is that the terrorists who planted the bombs intended to cause panic and congestion in other routes off the island. Blowing up the bridges themselves might not even have been the point.
The cryokinetic's point of contact will be SCOUT's Officer Darius Vasiri-Johnson, the EOD specialist.

Agent Parkman,
Thank you very much for all your help with seeking the cryokinetic. As you could tell, that situation is pretty dire. Unfortunately, I'm afraid we would like to encroach on your generosity a little more, and I can't give you very much in the way of explanation for this part. I was wondering if you have technological equipment that can suppress the abilities of selective Evolved in a room. If so, we could use it.
With gratitude,
— Libra.

Subject: RE: The Haitian
Agent Parkman,
There is an injured Evolved — whose identity I would humbly request you leave unasked — that has abilities which normally preclude no-range healing. I need Abigail Beauchamp, Registered Tier 0 healer, to be able to return him to his full health within the next few days. If this could be made possible with the Haitian's abilities, please let me know when he would be available to meet them and I'll find a safe place. Ms. Beauchamp's residence may work.
The patient is a good man, a good soldier, and very important to the defeat of Kazimir Volken. I deeply apologize that I don't have more details than that because I'm pretty sure this sounds weird, but thank you very much for all your help.
