Ben Franklin added to the Yamagato Repository
Following Yesterday’s graphic novel featuring him, Benjamin Franklin has been added to Yamagato Fellowship’s repository.
It’s nearly impossible to summarize Ben Franklin’s effect on the world in a few meager words. Politician, diplomat, writer, inventor, philosopher, raconteur, and all-around visionary, Franklin was a true Renaissance man whose work helped form the United States and launched both a cultural and scientific revolution along the way.
It then is followed by a bunch of Ben Franklin facts, such as:
- – Begins writing editorials at 16 under the pseudonym, “Mrs. Silence Dogood.”
- – Creates the Union Fire Company in 1736, the first volunteer fire company in the Colonies.
WHY HE IS A HERO
Ben Franklin dedicated his life to serving the public good. As a young man, he gently pointed out the foibles of local leaders by writing under assumed names. As he grew in confidence, so did his writing and he became a force to be reckoned with.His keen insight, wit, and intelligence helped give birth to the American Revolution and the Declaration of Independence. His diplomatic skills helped secure the young nation’s future through his work in France and beyond.
In addition to his political work, he also gave birth to the modern library and fire department and many of his inventions - in one form or another - are still in use today.
For these and numerous other reasons, Benjamin Franklin is a hero, not only to American but also to the world.
Sorry I didn’t get to this earlier, I was away from my desk all day today. Thanks to Brian for emailing me about it.
Yamagato Fellowship’s new ‘Message from the President’
After today’s new graphic novel, which depicts Hiro’s older sister, Kimiko, taking over duties as head of Yamagato Industries, and deciding to further her father’s legacy of Takezo Kensei, YamagatoFellowship.org has updated with an introduction by Kimiko.
Hello and welcome to the Yamagato Fellowship website. I’m Kimiko Nakamura and as the new President of the Yamagato Fellowship, I invite you to spend a few moments with some of the world’s greatest heroes. When my father, Kaito Nakamura, founded the fellowship, he created an online repository to commemorate heroes of legend, myth, and history with the hope of inspiring the heroes of future generations. The Yamagato Fellowship Repository contains heroes who have demonstrated passion and the perseverance for change. Heroes provide us with examples of greatness, which help lend insight into what it means to lead and act with integrity. I have learned from my father the importance of admiring heroes of the past and I hope that with the Yamagato Fellowship I may pass on their stories to each of you. For heroes only exist today because we have chosen to remember and honor them. We must not forget that heroes are all around us: from loving parents and siblings, to devoted doctors, firefighters, soldiers, teachers…leaders.
- Kimiko Nakamura
I believe nothing else on the site has changed.
Update: A new hero, Khufu, was added to the Repository page.
Updates Galore!
Thanks to Alex for letting us know that he got a new text message:
Bennet has gone dark. Need 2 fnd nthr nsider. U kno how clvr they r. Looking for new place 2 play.
Hana has updated her site once again. If you’re new to the Heroes 360/Evolutions game, you can text “HANA” to 46622 to start getting text messages.
The Company has a way of silencing dissent. If Bennet has been quieted it means that there’s trouble brewing. I’m after the answers to big questions now. Either has my same power, or I’m being watched. Something’s amiss in my world. Linderman left resources in his wake, it’d be a shame to let them go to waste. We need a place to play our games, bet all the chips if necessary, meet me there if you get my drift.

Obviously she means the Corinthian Casino. If you go there, you’ll see a conversation between Hana and Micah. There are two words highlighted in blue boxes. If you click them, they go to YamagatoFellowship.org and samantha48616e61.com respectively. Here’s the link directly to the .swf.
Update: Just received an email from Hana:
Noah Bennet has left Primatech, or they left him. Maybe he’s on the run. So many roads lead back to Linderman and the Company even with him gone. Where would you find his legacy? A hotel perhaps? Perhaps the gamble will pay off for you? Please start here…
