[QUOTE="Rybaer, post: 2875813, member: 118"] (ooc - cuervo96 will be traveling most of the summer with minimal computer access, so I'll npc his character most of the time until he's back...just poor timing with the beginning of this game. On the other hand, I'll also be traveling quite a bit this summer, so the game may run a little slow every now and then. No major trips planned until mid-July, though.) Agent Simmons looks like he's about to say something else, but is interrupted when four cell phones begin to beep simultaneously. The two-way video-enabled, fully-encrypted phones provided to the team members are all ringing with the special tone designated for a local emergency. This is the first time this system has been utilized. As they flip open the phones, the image of a man in a police uniform is seen on the screen. He looks a little uncomfortable, as if trying to figure out how to best frame himself in the camera. "Oh, hey, that was quick," he says. "Hmmm...it looks like you're all at the new HQ. I guess we could just handle this through the teleconference rig there. Hang on a sec." The connection drops to the phones while one of the meeting room's large monitors flicks on. The police officer is again visible, only in much better resolution this time. "I hope I didn't interrupt anything too important, but we have a rapidly evolving situation that the captain felt you guys might be able to help out on," he says. "Reports are coming in that the Sullivan and Veers Diamond Exchange is in the process of being robbed. Two eye-witnesses have confirmed the presence of at least one flying metahuman in addition to half a dozen or more others on foot. "Because of the high profile of the target and the metahuman presence, we're asking for your assistance. The Diamond Exchange is on the 46th floor of the Watchtower. That's only a mile from your location, so you should be able to reach it quickly. Notify an officer on the scene when you arrive please. "Any questions? We don't have much more information at the moment." [/QUOTE]
